Gare was always good for a quote, back when media actually covered the team. He's the author of the infamous quip about "rather be stabbed in the streets of Lowell than be a Black Bear" or something to that effect. Now we have a robot coach with robot players going through their robotic motions, to see who can spout the most inane Belichikian adages, with the dystopian climate of academia that penalizes participants for any semblance of individual thought or character.
I'm not sure exactly where it all started, but I suspect it was right around the time that Blue Skies enforced the edict to have the Pep Band drown out the R-rated chants that used to accompany the introductions of the visitors' starting line-up, taking "Black Betty" off the playlist, etc. ad nauseum.
Gare would've likely been kicked off the team/out of school for his Lowell quip if he made it today ...
