  • Re: Boston College Offseason Thread: Basking in the glow.. again

    Thought this was worth posting:

    http://www.bcheights.com/mobile/news...orts-1.1470645

    The MBTA failed to “present an unbiased investigation of the facts,” University Spokesman Jack Dunn said. “As a result of our discussions with the students, we have serious concerns about the MBTA’s seemingly deliberate campaign to assign full blame for this unfortunate incident on our students,” Dunn said.

      Gee... the MBTA screwing up... I just don't believe it.

      IMO, the worst part of the whole thing was the chief of the transit police standing in Kenmore Square with all the tv cameras in front of him calling every single kid in that car "wreckless" among other things. I truly hope the BC administration and perhaps all of the parties involved in this get a public apology from that gutless turd and look to get him a reprimand of some sort to go on his record.

      What I really want to know is whether that trolley operator really hit the brakes when they were 100 yards out. If they did, that train should have never gone into that intersection, let alone at 30 mph.

That said, glad to see you got him in the red. Nice job!
          I think the point is... they are both ridiculously stupid.

              I agree the T was trying to make it sound like the driver was drunk.

              This, I'm not sure about.
              "traffic on Commonwealth Avenue prevented them from completing the turn before they were struck by the trolley.”

              So, at 12 midnight, it took longer for the T to go 100 yd than for the car to find an opening for turning left?

              The T doesn't like BC. You have to take that likely bias into account. But you also have to take into account that the Heights is the Heights and Dunn is a professional spinmeister.

                I said on EA that, while I don't condone the underage drinking, I found it very curious that there was no blame on the part of the T operator. 100 yards @ 30mph is about 7 seconds to hit the brakes.

                  i thought it odd from the start....a whole football field length to stop a trolley going 30 MPH. what about BC's contention or inference that the 3 werent actually "running from the scene" but rather going to st elizabeth's

                    we've all been on trains that see cars ahead... they generally keep moving but hit the bell - assuming i suppose that the car is going to move

                    i said millions of times that i could plausibly quit working and make a better living driving around MA and letting people hit me, then just cash those insurance checks from their auto companies for years and years.

                    i also wouldn't put it past some sick bastage T operators who see a load of kids where they shouldn't be and give them a hit because he can blame them. public servant probably got some paid time off after his stressful shift.

                          i've been on zillions of trains when the don't stop, but instead take the foot off the gas -- again, waiting for the car to move

                          and hey, they have schedules to keep on the B line!

                              Steve, I'm not afraid to show myself here.

                              Yes I was having some fun with the Freshmen 3 getting caught in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

                              The Terrier 4 is a different thing....out drinking 2 days before the HE Finals represents total disrespect to the Terrier program and their teammates. I hope Parker deals severely with this and if others surface as this comes out I hope he deals with them the same way.

                              An off season night of fun gone a bit out of control is funny more than anything else and I was poking fun. The Terrier incident is wrong, just wrong and the consequences are deserved.

                                Oh yea, it's real funny that a few kids almost got killed, several had concussions, the jaws of life were needed to retrieve people from the jeep, and one girl got her face mangled.

                                You must have one hell of a sense of humor.

                                Kill yourself.

I can't imagine him ever making anyone even feel uncomfortable when he's sober.There are plenty of players in my time covering the team who have looked at me differently or flirted with me or the like. Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.
