Your rep to me after this exchange:

"a fact.... one transferring, one signing."

I rest my case. You're a fraud.

I dont recall Pitino saying that. But if he did, he stole it from Bill Parcells

What have I said that is wrong? Where is the "fact" that one player has signed?

hokydad, I think we should call a truce.

I just don't want to see you have to be in that uncomfortable position of sitting on a stool in a stranger's kitchen when Chris Hansen and a camera guy pop out of nowhere on you and starts asking you questions.

Chris Hansen: Whoa whoa whoa whoa, where ya going? Have a seat, let's chat. I think you should know... My name is Chris Hansen and I'm with Dateline NBC. What are you doing here today?
Hokydad: Just came over to watch some old hockey games with little Timmy.
Chris Hansen: Nothing else?
Hokydad: And show him my Warsofsky jersey that I just won.
Chris Hansen: You didn't tell TimmylikesOvechkin97 in a chatroom that you were going to **** his *******.
Hokydad: Wasn't me!
Chris Hansen: What do you have in your bag right there?
Hokydad: Some candy... an old 1995 NCAA title game on VHS... My Warsofsky jersey... a Jack Parker bobblehead doll... wait, how did this other stuff get in here?!!?!?
Chris Hansen: So THAT'S what you meant when you said you were going to show him some new stickhandling moves... Well, that's about all. You're free to leave if you'd like. There's no SWAT team out there waiting for you or anything. Go ahead... have a nice day. Thanks for the interview.

No one wants to see it end this way! Ask Keith Johnson!!!!

So you're able to tell whether or not I'm relaxed through a message board? And why should I "get a life"? Because I'm posting here? What exactly should you do then?

I have no problem letting the summer unfold. I don't plan on starting any rumors either.
 
Re: Boston College Offseason Thread: Basking in the glow.. again

we have a long way to get to 1000..............ahhhhhh, an off season of contentment makes for a quiet BC thread. so much to be thankful for, this decade of dominance (actually i think it really started in 1997-1998). I wonder who we will open with. It has been said that York wouldn't have the opener with Wisconsin as it would seem an "in your face" kind of thing but if they are coming i wonder what the other choices are??

The latest is that Wisconsin is not coming here--at all. They released their schedule and BC isn't on it.

I don't believe Wisconsin will be coming to Conte next year.

i dont think it would have been a big deal.

we played at wisco in Oct of 2007 following our loss to them in the 2006 final - now we weren't their home opener; but these coaches/programs have a tremendous amount of respect for each other and i dont think there would be any ill perceptions
 
Re: Boston College Offseason Thread: Basking in the glow.. again

I agree with Steve. Not to mention, rather than be upset by it, I'd take it as a compliment. You want to raise your banner for a big home game. Even if Wisconsin was coming in, that's a big time program and a huge game in its own right like it was in 2008. Raising a banner for that type of game would be a compliment to Wisconsin IMO.

Contrast with what BC did in 2002. When they opened with Lowell and didn't even raise the 2001 banner. That's a slap in the face to Lowell, which kicked BC's azz that night. BC held off the raising of the banner for Notre Dame before they were even good - which was still a big night because of the rivalry in football and the game being played the night before the FB game.

That Wisconsin game was probably the best home game of my four years as a student. Absolutely unreal the pace that game was played at. I left thinking the '09 team would be what the '10 team ended up being - a high-octane, killer squad of maroon and gold assassins.

It just took them a year to grow into it, but you could see flashes of it then.

i dunno where i read Wisc was here next year...... Yes, that Wisconsin game was great but in the four years i've had my season tickets the fastest most wide open game for me was the fog game against North Dakota and it was only 2 periods long. i think both teams had 30 shots apiece through 2 periods with no score. i also remember that in the upper level on the visitors side there was a swath of superfans from side to side and it looked like a wide gold ribbon across and both ends were packed with students as well. this i thought had more students than even any BU game i saw in those 4 years. it was rocking in there that night, too bad it was suspended, it surely would have been a classic 3rd period

You know, I can't remember enough about the last 4 years to recall the "best" game. But certainly the fastest game I've seen in my 13 years of watching BC hockey without any doubt in my mind. I actually posted that I could see BC-Wisc as a rematch in Washington for the national title as both teams looked fantastic. Strangely, they both underachieved and the following year sure enough they met in the title game in Detroit.

so your 4 years coincided with mine as a season ticket holder. 3 title games 2 NC's (choked away a third:( :mad: ) isn't it 3 HE championships and 2 Pizzpots:eek: ?? if i remember correctly.......That's quite a lot of hardware in four years Joe

Nah, he said one was leaving (transferring) and another was likely to sign. At the time, he was right, so we need to give Hokydad a break here.
