Coach Donahue to make an appearance...

[Bernard Lonergan]

Wednesday at 5pm on the Dustbowl. Email says there will be chances to win tix, jetblue vouchers, gear, etc.... The email also calls the location the campus green in front of mcelroy commons - teh ghey.

I was going to ask for an over/under prediction on student attendence, but that would just give commave and OJ more ammo to make fun of people who guessed wrong.

have either one of you ever made fun of a kid who's "guess the jellybean" contest entry wasn't that close?

[RegalBCeagle]

It's supposed to be in the 80's and although BC has been disgustingly nerdified, there should still be plenty of sundress wearing chicks eager to let their skin absorb some sun. If the place isn't mobbed, BC should commit nerdicide and start from scratch. There better be some pictures on here of a good showing!

[cvilleagle]

"The campus green". These people can go to hell.

But, I hope attendance is great - get your popcorn ready for a new era!

[commavegarage]

I hope people show up for him...hockey turnout wasn't great. Has anybody gotten an update of when the press conference will be? Tomorrow afternoon?

BTW: This "New Era" thing shows me just how unhappy Gene was with Al which surprises me. I had no idea he thought it was as bad as we all realized it was..

Can you imagine Skinner ever doing this? Its little things like this that might get some of the students a little more excited about BC hoops. The guy hasn't been coach for a day and he has already done more than Skinner in 13 years as far as promoting BC hoops.

The results on the court won't be known for a year or more, but the attitude certainly is refreshing.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

Will Gene be there?

The turnout will be ok...I think the combination of the weather/ free stuff will attract students....I'll be there and a roomate of mine who attended 2 games this year said he wanted to go...I was shocked, maybe a new coach will wake the students up...

Just tell people there will be a queerbitch tournament. They'll show up.

[2008Eagle]

Hopefully some students and other fans get out there. I'd go if I were a Boston local.

No, they are offering a Blackberry....that should be enough to get massive turnout

Could you imagine the turnout if they offered matinee tickets?

I thought the youths today were all about iPhones not Blackberries.

You're thinking of non-nerdified youth.

are they offering the service as well, or just the free balckberry that you would receive anyway if you signed up for a new service. if the latter, this is brian boitano ghey and gene defilipo lame

Maybe the nerds are concerned if their wireless device will be compatible with their internship's data plan so they're going the safe route with a Blackberry.

this is a good point... free stuff. add to that the fact that the local press will be there (in all likelihood) and maybe the nerds will be out with signs. can some of you use your text messaging devices and other communicating technologies to suggest that it would be fun to get on tv and win stuff... and maybe even listen to the new basketball coach

I have one request: if people are going to make signs, can someone make one that says "Al couldn't make teh juice. ool"? Thanks in advance.

BBM...people love it...I want the flight voucher...Maybe if I put a tent on the Dustbowl tonight waiting for the appearance saying it will be awesome and people will join..

I think the more likely outcome is you'll have three BCPD cruisers surround your tent within a half-hour.

They are apparently trying to keep it underwraps, but there will be some surprise gifts given away. One is an Intel S5000XVNSASR Motherboard (compleye with Dual Socket 771, eATX, PCI Express, Dual Gigabit LAN, USB 2.0, Serial ATA, RAID, SAS). Another is the Doctor Who - The Key to Time Collection boxset.

Sweet.

I heard they were offering the whole DVD set of Harry Potter including directors commentary and an exclusive Quidditch turorial by Harry himself...Also tickets to the premiere of the 7th movie...Thousands of students are expected

Eastern Clothing will have a table there too. They are having a clearance sale on mock turtleneck.

This makes me sad. Eastern Clothing was such an important part of this university... I view their passing with the same remorse as I did when Jags turned his back on the angry chicken.

This is a huge question...will they now adopt Donahue? Or is Al to much of a legend for Eastern clothing to have another pitchman in the next 10 years?

I got a discount for being a "BC Guy" when I bought a suit in there last summer. Who says Al didn't do anything for the BC community?

[DuchesneEast]

I will give my I-PADs to the first 200 kids there with their faces painted like mine.

Disclaimer: I have no Ipads so there is no "my ipads" to distribute, unless you want a box of playtex, they have wings .
