Michael Tranghese ( a long time coat holder for BE's Basketball Dave Gavitt) and the Big East Football League destroyed itself... and by extension damaged bigtime the UConn football program. Uconn's AD Hathaway's quixotic hire of fired ' Cuse Head Coach Pasqualoni further damaged UConn...

Well, it wasn't a National Championship Game, but I was present when BC rushed the field in Foxboro ( not Alumni ) when BC beat Alabama in '83 ( BC beat Alabama the next year at Alabama in '84 too ). But its true, BC fans are pretty unemotional most of the time. But for context, New England...

I do feel that in the spirit of full disclosure I should tell you he's also a Dallas Cowboys fan, but please don't hold that against him. . Thats not a problem. This has nothing to do with who he is a fan of. He and his family are in financial need to make this dream of his happen, and thus...

Please donate and help this young musician. Its a worthy endeavor, and it'll help him grow into becoming a better musician, marcher, and most importantly, a good and decent adult citizen.

I donated... You just blabbed... in vulgar terms. "4th" or" 6th", its no big deal. It was not " a stupid, and degrading remark " to put the actual, real placement,... and I stated it merely ( my quote above ) " for accuracy sake" above. You just massively overreacted thats all, by going the...

I not only sent this fine young lad a donation already yesterday... I also regularly support other marchers in DCI, and volunteer freely my services to units. You Sir, do not represent the vast majority of the Uconn fan base that I know as family & as friends. You are vile, and profane. Please...

Me too. Its expensive, but a worthy summer endeavor, imo

( for accuracy sake here ,The Cadets finished 6th last season. )

BAC.

Ok... I'll take a break from posting here for awhile, as its clear now, that a few posters are not reading my posts properly it would appear ( I clearly stated above how much I knew Blumenthal, ie " not much " and said as much in my post above). I did speak to them very briefly at separate...

And the problem for you that I live in retirement in Florida ( or anyplace else for that matter ) is what again ?

Fan message boards are not where to go to find the typical fans of either BC or Uconn, imo. I really don't know too many BC fans and alums that act like too many of the imbeciles on BC 's fan message boards... plus, I know for a fact a few if them pose as BC alums/ fans there, but are in fact...

No.. I don't presume to know everything, everyone, etc..Thats a misreading of my comments on this thread.

I don't feel " much pride " about beating Uconn all the time. I really don't. I only get a kick out of beating the Eye Rash. Nothing compares to beating those arrogant prix for me. Most of my family, alum friends just want to see Uconn play BC in a close game these days now, and go from there...

Good observation.. and was noted by a few other people off this board as well incidentally.

D. Blumenthal did not have a a " client- lawyer " relationship with Perkins, as Perkins had already left for Kansas, the lawsuit was settled by this time, and so Blumenthal felt free to tell me his thoughts. Blumenthal is often criticised, with BC folks for certain, but even within the Uconn fan...

hmnnn... I don't know about this. The lawsuit seemed to imply that Uconn upgraded their football program with ( according to Uconn ) assurances from Miami, Syracuse, BC that they they were committed to the BE. These schools say they never gave Uconn that impression, but Uconn , from their...

Huh ? Lets not get started on any comparison between Boston and Hartford, ok ? Just don't go there. Its a non starter, ok ? Forget your initiating insults on the City of Boston, as you do not enter such comparisons advantageously, in the least. Not when you play your home football games.... all...

Incidentally, to this very day, there is no love lost between Perkins & Blumenthal. Blumenthal was blindsided he told me once when he found out in a court depo that Perkins had secretly contacted the ACC ( Swofford has confirming records of the contact ) to get into the ACC. However, Blumenthal...

Maybe he expressed his remarks more candidly when we met, knowing your antipathy toward BC, and did not share what he told me, with you. Thats possible. The lawsuit by Blumenthal, )whom I also met at a wedding reception in CT and spoke with also on this), also demonstrates quite clearly Uconn's...

Yes. So this division that we are reading here between Uconn football fans on whether this " home game " for Uconn has benefits to Uconn playing in Boston does seem perplexing. Uconn gives up home field adavantage to play on a neutral site, but is afforded a fabulous payday it desperately...

There would never be an " equal " in lots of things.. including admissions of prospective recruits. Uconn could conceivably bring thru admissions football recruits that BC football Coaches could not. So its acknowledged the advantage that Uconn would have.... while simultaneously acknowledging...

Agreed. That said, Uconn's inability to ever beat BC in football is not BC's fault. its also not BC's fault that BC decided a decade earlier than Uconn to move to play with the Big Boys in football. Uconn waited too long to commit to the move up. That was their choice. Holy Cross decided not to...

The world of Lew Perkins who once verbally expressed this goal of Uconn football to me at a meeting we both were at. I recognize that Uconn's decision to move to BE status in football was multifacted, but you might have been out of the loop perhaps that one of Uconn's goals was what I just posted.

My poster name must have given it away.

True. Anythings possible. Nobody's crystal ball is any better than anyone elses. To that extent, I have no idea what the 2 programs will look like 7-8 years down the road after this November's game.

Are you kidding ? Uconn's whole quest in upgrading their football program was to someday replace BC as the dominent college football program in all of New England... and once having attained that benchmark, to outrecruit BC in football, solidify that superior position in Football in N.E., and...

We've suddenly become Rice. Not really. Uconn football on the whole is better than Rice, imo. However, Uconn is in no position to rag on Rice when we are talking scheduling here, as Rice had Baylor on their schedule last season, and the last football game Rice played was against Stanford this...

For perspective, BC just a few short years ago under the former BC AD, would not agree to play Uconn football ANYWHERE. For awhile there, it looked like BC and Uconn would not play football again for years.. if ever. Now, under the new BC AD, BC has worked out an arrangement to play Uconn, back...

TV numbers don't lie. ND games had more viewership in Connecticut than Uconn football games did. But that said, my central point is that this arrangement for the game at Fenway Park is a good deal for both schools, imo... and both schools need more football fans than they are currently...

ND probably has more football fans in Connecticut at the moment than Uconn football has too. Uconn needs more football fans as much as BC does... maybe more so. This is a good deal for BOTH schools, imo. It sure beats BC playing Wagner at Alumni for BC fans, and Uconn playing Stony Brook at...

Its not entirely one sided, imo. BC gets a 7th home game, more than likely another easy win. But Uconn gets some needed PR in the Hub of the Universe, and will leave town with one hellava single game payday. Plus, tickets should be affordable for everyone ( not like the ticket prices for the...

I would have to agree. This College Football National Championship win by an ACC team ( Clemson ) showed the country in these Bowl Games that from top to bottom the best college football conference in America for 2017 was the ACC. Clemson shut out B10 Ohio State ( 31-0) Clemson knocks off SEC...

Top to bottom, the ACC Conference was the best college football conference in America this season, imo.
