Very good, mookie. That was a response to someone else...

No, see, eric...again, I did not start this even on the BU thread.

"You guys can't even fill your relatively new state of the art hockey rink that seats under 7,000...ouch."

Re: Boston College '12-'13: Gaudreaubey Baker

oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to all. We certainly have a lot to be thankful for

Right back at you and very well said.

Boys need to bring their "A" game and "Hammer" mentality on Saturday afternoon.

[ericredaxe]

not sure what being in the ACC means in terms of filling the arena. you know how it works, if the product is good, they will come. same deal at just about every school and in just about every city, college or pros

That was just a jestful jab at JD who posted a similarly dumb comment in the BU thread.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you Eagles out there.

You guys are in the ACC and can't even halfway fill your basketball arena..... Ouch.

Lol at eric. Because scheduling a game at 4 pm the day before thanksgiving is a good idea. And I didnt start this thing either...

Re: Boston College '12-'13: Gaudreaubey Baker

It will be 'more full' when good teams come to town, but hockey will clearly outdraw basketball, on an average basis, once the season is done. Auburn = Keene State as far as that goes. The larger issue is that while hockey might not bring in the $$$ that basketball does, it's a respectable program under York's stewardship. And respect begets respect. Which is why hockey will draw between 6,000-7,000 while basketball will draw between 5,000-6,000. Sure, they'll bang it out for Duke and UNC, but a crowd the size of tonight's will greet them for most of the others. DeFilippo's legacy.

Re: Boston College '12-'13: Gaudreaubey Baker

BC basketball v. Auburn drew 3,000 people tonight...half what a BC hockey game would draw on average. Somewhere, Gene DeFilippo is aware of this. Or ought to be.

So Quinnipiac already has a nice new arena, are 8-3-1, and just won at Providence (along with at Alfond earlier this year)...we added the wrong school from CT.

come on, you know, we needed the UConn brand too

Don't look at me, I was for Quinnipiac from the beginning.

UConn being in Hockey East is a joke. That is all.
