      Looks like I'm heading up to Burlington for the 2nd time in 3 weeks. Pretty pumped it's a noon start. Plenty of time to get back for hockey.
      Places I've seen a college hockey game: Agganis Arena, Alfond Arena, Bright Center, Consol Energy Center, Conte Forum, DCU Center, Fenway Park, Gutterson Fieldhouse, Houston Field House, Lawler Arena, Madison Square Garden, Matthews Arena, Mullins Center, Schneider Arena, Scottrade Center, Sears Centre, Tampa Bay Times Forum, TD Bank Sports Center, TD Garden, Tsongas Center, Tully Forum, Verizon Center, Verizon Wireless Arena, Walter Brown Arena, Wells Fargo Center, Whittemore Center

        Also, Friday's BU-Merrimack game has been picked up by NESN. Start time 7:30.

          Well, if they showed the band, you saw me, bro! I wasn't even in the band -- No actual musicians, they said; makes it not so fun for the regulars. (Really, this was the rule.) But when we made the tourney, the band director came up to me and and few other guys and said, "We need some ringers, fill out the band, look better on TV. Want to go?" Freaking Yes I would like to go. Flew us down with the cheerleaders, we lost to Danny Ferry et al, flew back the next day.

                      It was spring of 88 I think. NE was on its way towards its poorest season in a while, and BU was on its way to Chapel Hill to play Duke in the NCAAs. (In the brand-new Dean Dome. Yours truly was in attendance. ) Anyway, the game had been heated; then there was a scuffle. Coach Jarvis was trying to break up a couple of guys, when Fogel came over and shoved him, in a "keep your hands of my guy" kind of way. When Coach Jarvis saw it was the other coach who had shoved him, he went off. It was the, "Oh no you did not just do that, and now we're gonna throw down" kind. No punches landed, but it was intense.
                      Ah, the memories. I made the ride down as well - a good high school friend was at Duke, so I figured it would be worth it. I rode down with, among others, a girl that insisted she was dating Dredrick. Given how little she knew about b-ball, she had to be telling the truth, as there would be no other reason for her to be going. The Dean Dome was unbelievable.

                      I remember watching warmups and thinking, YIKES! What was the name of the pretty-boy point guard for Duke? I saw him casually leap from a stand still under the rim and throw down a dunk. GULP.

                      And while we are reminiscing, who remembers Scott Spinelli? And who was the big white guy that hardly ever played - I think he had a Greek or Turkish name. He was the Gryba/Morrow fan favorite type - the crowd would chant for him to get into a blowout game.

                        You just named many Dook players. But are you talking about Bobby or Danny Hurley?

                          Neither of them could be considered pretty. The only one I can think of is Christian Laettner.

                            1 - Pretty boy guard from '88? Maybe Quinn Snider? He went on to be a pretty boy coach at Missouri.

                            2 - Scott Spinelli! What a blast from the past. He's an asst coach at Texas A&M now.

                            3 - I can totally picture the Greek guy you're talking about, but here's the roster:

                            Tony DaCosta
                            Fred Davy
                            Drederick Irving
                            Russell Jarvis
                            Larry Jones
                            Francis Kalitsi
                            Steven Key
                            David King
                            Isaac Kodsi
                            Ron Moses
                            Scott Spinelli
                            Reggie Stewart
                            Jeff Timberlake
                            Scott White

                            and none of the names jumps out.

                            4 - Lastly, even though we got thumped in that Duke game, what kills me when I think about it is that we had the ball, 45 seconds to go in the 1st half, only down by 5. EVERYBODY knows that when you're in that good a shape, you hold for the last shot. Worst-case scenario, you're only down 5; best-case you're down by 2, to Duke!, at the half. But Dredrick -- who I loved -- came down and immediately put up a 3. He missed, Duke fast break, foul and the bucket/three point play, Duke steal, foul and the bucket/three point play, BAM we're down 11 at the half. And the game was over then. Man, if only we'd held for the last shot . . .

                              There is absolutely nothing pretty about Christian Laettner.

                                It was Snyder on the '88 team, I looked it up. Then I FYP. And then I double-posted.
