Boston College Eagles 2011-2012

That is a cool story. Thanks for sharing. As you can see north of the Border we play by a different set of rules. :D

Just to add another dimension to this story....Chuckin Ol Charlie was born in...You guessed it, Montreal, Home of the McGill Redmen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_O'Rourke

Indeed. Before jersey gets excited, there is no truth to the rumor that Charlie O'Rourke was denied admission to McGill. Rather, the O'Rourke family was a victim of the infamous Quebec Potato Famine of 1924, forcing many Irish-Canadians to flee their lives of substinence farming north of the border for a new life in the US. Many of these Boys of Irish Stock went on to form the basis of the strong BC football teams of the 1940s, as well as the 1949 BC hockey team. Many Quebecois football fans, emotionally beat into submission from years of watching the Montreal Alouettes, stay up late at night wondering what might have been if those boys had stayed in Quebec. Rumor has it this exodus has fueled much of the bitterness of the Bruins-Canadiens rivalry. For proponents of such an "elite" school, you could all really use a history refresher!

So per your comment can I make the assumption that your professed"hate" for your rivals somehow gives you joy or on a deeper level makes up for some personal shortcoming?

You're right. Me using a 4-letter word that would have been allowed on TV in the 50's is WAY worse than wasting a school's money with a frivolous lawsuit, money that could otherwise have been used for academic grants or scholarships, and then turning around and publicly getting on their knees and begging to be able to do the same thing they sued the other school for doing.

I hope the ACC tells UConn to pound sand.

Oh yeah and your hockey arena's a joke, your basketball coach is a s**mbag [censored for sensitive eyes], your basketball players don't graduate, and your athletes steal laptops.

I "BET" I can come with some dirt on BC.....Let me take some time to make my "POINT" right after "SHAVING!
 
Re: Boston College Eagles 2011-2012

I remember when the BC thread used to be about hockey...now that the season has begun, maybe BC's true fans can get the discussion back on track.

Did you really go to BC, more than enough dirt. Hoop players jumping out windows to avoid arrest, an annual athlete arrest at a local watering hole. Point shaving scandals, hoop players not taking the minimun course requirement and the list goes on. What irks me about your initial slur on McGill is that you are the type of person who would whine louder than red sox nation is today about how unfair it would be if someone said it about BC. No D-1 school has completely clean hands, the NCAA is rife with scandal. back to the beach

Every school, just like any person, has to make its own mistakes to learn and grow. A boy who grows up sheltered and is never allowed to make his own mistakes and learn from them will never grow up to be the man his father would dream that he could be.

What you fail to realize is that since BC's few minor issues on the playground of life, it has become a shining beacon of academia. We are an icon, a role model... an example which other academic institutions with high athletic aspirations can attempt to emulate and hope to one day become.

Don't be blinded by BC's minor mistakes as we grew; be awed by the fact that we learned from those mistakes to become one of the greatest institutions of higher learning in not just America, but the world.

First of all, none of those things you mentioned actually happened. They are all distortions, exaggerations, or flat out lies perpetuated by the so-called "mainstream" (aka LAMEstream) media, in an effort to advance their liberal bias; the Catholic Church offends their liberal, big-government sensibilities, so they make things up with no basis in reality. Fact, not opinion. Everyone knows that's true, so the question is, are you misinformed, or just a liar?

Secondly, if someone referred to BC as the "scum of Canada," Grant's reaction (and I'm sorry for speaking for you, sir) would likely be to agree. British Columbia does seem rather awful, and Vancouverites appear to have wrested the title of Worst of the Worst from the folks in Montreal.

Like I would trust anything I read in the "Google." Anyone can put whatever they want online. Next thing you know you'll be telling me to consult Wikipedia.
