BRUCE PEARL PHONE-A-THON

[DomingoOrtiz]

Colin from development with an 'ok, well, that's definitely a good suggestion' on my call. Ha. BRING BRUCE PEARL TO BC GOD DAMNIT.

I think Colin is the only person who answers the phones in the Athletic Development office. Aimee McGuire used to do it occasionally. But, I challenge you to call and NOT get Colin. Speaking of which, did GDF ever replace the Assistant AD who took the Loyala gig???

Gene promoted Steve Novak

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

This is a brilliant idea. I've written up just the thing! Here's the email we should send to Gene or Aimee or Colin with the subject 'Hire Bruce Pearl':

Dear Gene,

Please do whatever it takes to hire Bruce Pearl as the next men's basketball coach at Boston College!! Pearl stalking the court in all-gold suit-coats would look better than Flyguy the Pimp with fishtanks in his shoes. I was daydreaming about this very possibility in a meeting today, while noting that someone replaced the office furniture in our meeting rooms with chairs that have much narrower seats. This forced my legs together, creating a tight wind-tunnel chasm between my legs that ended in my nuts. Which was really interesting because even a modest fart channelled into this canyon erupted at the end with enough force to inflate my nuts like a parachute. I'm still working on a name for this farty canyonlands phenomenon - paratrooper? Bagpiper? Pillowfluffer?

In closing, I think you should hire Bruce Pearl and how narrow are the seats in the athletic department's conference rooms?

Your friend,
Tonto

This is brilliant and I would buy it, but I'm not sure the average Yawkey lackey can get their head around anyone looking better than Flyguy the Pimp with fishtanks in his shoes. Except maybe Novak. He's a good kid and maybe the best target for this campaign.

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.

Great point... I'll sign up as 4 people... you only need 496 more.

If it really came down to this, I would contribute. But what is really going to happen is that I'll get rooked into forking over cash and then Gene will go and hire Coen. Then I'm going to be angry. Angry like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

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

Actually, I've heard that Minnie is a master of the Princeton weave-and-heave.

<-------- Not Minnie Pearl

email sent... pragmatic appeal of 'former season ticket holder, disenfranchised, would re-up for Pearl, not for Coen. As one person obviously not a big deal, but I'm sure I'm not the only person to voice displeasure and definitely not only person to behave as I did/will if Pearl happens."

[BigPete]

I remember when I made a thread and then Vinnie, perhaps biggest loser in the Nexus, tried to co-opt it and began making the hiring of Pearl inherently uncool by supporting it.

it would have meant more if you also threw in "i once got thrown out of the gym for dunking on a billionaire's daughter"

Dammit you're right. When Gene decides he's against paying Pearl 2.25 a year, I will take full responsibility.

I bet Convict could dunk on Steven Pearl, as well.
