I'd say so. (That being said, if you want to committ more to the cause you are obviously more than free to do so.)

I think 82 with $100 increments is the best choice: $82, 182, 282, etc.

I sent an email to Gene about Pearl, although I've been writing him for the past two years about scheduling a game in Philly and he's never responded, so I don't know if it will do any good.

Son of a gun. He wrote back to me and it was not a form response. I guess he (or at least a good assistant) really reads these after all.

BigPete {l Wrote}:74 you jacknapes stop with your tomfoolery -- you need to sound like a captain of industry who is going to let the moolah flow into the BC coffers once the formality of Pearl's big money hiring is completed. The more you sound like a crank, the less likely we get Bruce hired.


Crank..I made two calls and told them my kids college fund was theirs for Bruce Pearl!!

It was different than the one Puerto Rico Eagle received. It was nothing substantive - the message just thanked me (by name) for my thoughts. Lots of exclaimation points too.

Emailing him now how as a graduating student next year I am going to buy hockey & football season tickets. If he hires Pearl I, along with many of my graduating classmates, will continue to support the basketball program.

Oh well, I told him $94.94. The message is still the same.

Hello Mr. DeFilippo,

I'm a current BC student pledging to donate $82 yearly if that's what it takes to bring back Bruce Pearl ('82) to BC. He would revitalize BC hoops. I'm sure you'll do the right thing.

Best regards,

xxx

Again, pledges are bullshit. "No, seriously. Imma give you a squajillion dollars." Nobody gives a shit about your bullshit pledge of $0. :tophat

This is a brilliant idea from whoever came up with it. I'm not a BC alum even, but they'll get my season ticket money if they hire Pearl.

I am going to make a 22.22 donation in my name and my wifes saying "to be applied to Bruce Pearl's salary" PS I love Doug Flutie.

I wonder if BC will ever send me an email why I never donate even numbers, I think last time it 94.94 and 123.45.

You should write Hire Bruce Pearl as the subject line and write something completely different in the message and see what happens.

While I have a feeling that this is going to come down to 5-10 guys ponying up/pledging a few million in the next 18 hours, here's what it will take at the micro-donor level:

Gene,

As an alumnus of Boston College and a supporter of its student athletes, I am hopeful and anxious to see the position of head basketball coach filled with a man capable of achieving outstanding results. I urge you to strongly consider Bruce Pearl for the position. As a sign of my continued support of BC athletics, please apply $(insert large figure) to my AMEX, card #, exp, 4 digit conf. code.

I look forward to greeting Coach Pearl and the Eagles this coming fall, and for years to come.

Sincerely,

Eagle Big Shot

What you need is $5k from 500 alums. That gets you $2.5 M. Chump change to BC Guys from the '90's. Step up if you have not already.

Make sure they understand that it's Bruce Pearl from Knoxville that we want, not Minnie Pearl from Nashville.
