shockdoct {l Wrote}:While we are stretched quite thin with the EO Club renovations, this a cause worth giving money as I have many fond memories from my road trips to BC sporting events.
With the skinner news and the frozen four berth, this is shaping up to be the 2nd most popular day ever on this site (by number of page impressions). So in thanking all the people who make this board great, all of the nexus ad dollars this week go to the students. Even if you are unable to give cash you can give another way...

74 will expect it back in 20 years.
bcsoxfan12 {l Wrote}:I urge everyone to help these guys out!!!! Hockey fans tend to be viewed as a fringe group, and these are diehard fans that live, sleep and eat BC hockey. Hockey might be the “unofficial” #3 sport on campus, despite NCAA Championships. Send Trumpet boy and crew to the Frozen Four in style, once I figure out my own plans I’ll see what I can come up with

I think I'll put an ad for others to pay for my trip to Nantucket this summer.

You really don't see the difference between a 20 year old student who pays 50k a year for school trying to get out to a shithole to support his school (yes, I know it will also be for fun) asking for a little help and a 40ish year old man who makes a lot of money asking for money to go on vacation in Nantucket?
And I am not affiliated with this group in any way. But, I do think its great that they reached out to alumni/pike's peak and alumni were there to support them.

These knuckle heads should be ashamed of themselves, begging money to go to a friggin hockey game that they can't afford to go to. Begging money for this is not my idea of what a BC Guy would do. Get a job friggin spoiled little brats!

I’m sure there’s no way a trip to Detroit to support the hockey team would be in the schools or students budget. No shame in these guys asking for help, everyone has college stories of crazy things you did because of being a student. We should support these guys in their support of OUR EAGLES. What happened to “For Here ALL ARE ONE”?

What ever happened to self respect and dignity? And if you look back after you graduate and say remember the crazy shit we did, yeah remember the time we panhandled money on the internet, your college life was pretty damn sad.

Or maybe they might look back and say….. what a great college community/ alumni that care so much about the athletic program that they gave me a $$ hand to build memories of watching BC in the 2010 FF. Maybe they might return the favor and donate to the class of 2023. Not trying to pick a fight 94, but every supports the program, students and fans in different ways.

These aren't band kids...they're already fully paid for. I still can't see what your big problem is with this.

I just think it should be called what it is. It's scary that we have BC or any other college students ask for money from strangers so they can go on what amounts to a vacation trip, with an entitlement attitude. Then, they try to rationalize it as a legitimate request. A bum panhandling for a bottle of booze is more honorable than these guys. As a BC grad, I find It embarrassing. There are legitimate ways to raise money, usually they involve organizing and a little bit of work AND there are many, many better causes.
