Actually, no one had mentioned, much less criticized BC until you decided to piss in our cheerios and hijack the thread by claiming that UCONN didn't show any reach on Thursday night and then continuing to argue ad infinitum about it. So don't get all righteous all the sudden when BC is ridiculed.
Thank you. This BC internet officer must have a hyper-sensitive filter anytime someone says anything about Boston College or the city of Boston. I made a comment that I would like to see UCONN schedule games like Duke at TD Bank (similar to what they did against Gonzaga a few years ago) and he wanted to play "reach" semantic games. Showcasing the strength of UCONN's brand (just like every other school does when they schedule neutral site games) in various cities in the northeast to help elevate our CR profile is against BC troll law. BC fans like to think of UCONN as being an insulated fanbase located within a 10 mile radius of campus. That just isn't true. UCONN just outsold Duke in what is widely considered "their turf" and instead of acknowledging that UCONN's brand is strong, we get the tired ol' BC claim that every fan in attendance came from Storrs and there aren't any UCONN alumni living in and around NYC/NJ (or Boston or anywhere other than Connecticut).
I didn't make any BC comment in my original post. The original post that he was responding to was about scheduling games in New York and Boston. So let's get back to the main point: what other school could move as many tickets as UCONN at IZOD, Barclay's, MSG and TD Bank? None. That's who.
