Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
I'm saying Parker said he disciplined players following that event and there were a couple of mysterious cuts from the program at that time. It doesn't take friggin' Encyclopedia Brown to put 1 + 1 together.

How many times has that happened? How many women have changed their minds and decided not to testify? Who convinced them? The Boston PD? The DA? Or are you saying Parker himself conducted the effort you have been made aware of?

There was no public discipline after the Agganis party, and there were no mysterious cuts from the roster at that time. The discipline/cuts came a year later, after events that were not relevant to the Globe article occurred.

Colby Cohen responds to the report. Says the naked skating and the penalty box sex never happened. Defends Parker's disciplinary style.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
he was very....adamant....on his twitter account about certain things the day the report came out. who knows what's true and what isn't anymore. this is probably one of the reasons the task force did not include much about that incident in its report. the other Freep article today on the student reaction is just as dumb as the Globe's one. They went and found the most out of touch with athletics students they could find on campus and asked their opinions. There's already a large subset of the BU student population who wishes we didn't have an athletic department at all so more money could be funneled into the astronomy department, I suspect their views on this situation aren't going to be the most substantive or useful. Why not also get quotes from students who are season ticket holders and go to every game, or even if you can get Dog Pound leaders to comment on the situation and ask them if the situation has caused them to rethink their support of the team. It's easy for a situation like this to alienate those who already have a negative view on the program, or who don't really follow it much at all, so quotes from those types don't provide much insight into how the incident has changed the view of the student population.

Next you'll be saying that the constant reference to rapes and raping (as if it is some recurring planned event) might not be exactly accurate either.
As the Globe reporter has demonstrated, the facts shouldn't get in the way of a good story. Good news is she'll likely have a great career in the industry, they love those kind of people.
It actually detracts from what should be the impact of the situation; every school should be thinking "hey, we recruit a lot of the same kids, we all grant academic tolerance for the players, we all give them elevated status on campus and if we don't have proper checks and balances then having a few 20+ year olds do something riduculously stupid and illegal can bring our whole university into question"...instead it is "rapists, approved orgies, superhero culture...that isn't us".
Every school that has 20+ hockey players, some only there 1-2 years, should be thankful and give proper recognition to coaches, administrators and captains each year they don't have any notable issues. The student body at large has them, small liberal arts schools have them, heck the marching band at Wisconsin got banned, it can happen anywhere...even with strong due diligence and monitoring.
It is one thing to look at a school that cheats and say "that will never happen here"...I'd be careful about being too high and mighty on the assumption no 20 year old could do something stupid at any time and place even if nothing has gone wrong for several years.

there's a good buck in that racket.
Don't wait for the globe to actually do any work on their own and interview people... Unless a task force talks to vincent and shares with Mary we'll never know!!!
Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
Interview people? lol. Why interview when you can get all your quotes from Twitter!?!?

..why stop there. get statements from everyone involved on ice and/ or in the box from this night (nights?) of disgrace..
The HC might be forced to resign over this.. (remote possibility, but it could happen). getting to who orchestrated this fiasco might help..

Seems like it's been pretty effective over the last couple of years, no?

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
Send over the invite list and we'll get right on it. Let's hope they took a group photo and put all the names along the bottom.
Maybe there was a sign-in sheet for the penalty box, tracking who went in and for how long...or perhaps they displayed it on the scoreboard, just like in a real game. Would give a whole new meaning to game misconduct.
I think I read that no current players were there that night...it certainly is possible the coaches were there, but not real likely...so who is it you plan to get statements from? What authority is conducting this process? Do they have subpoena authority, can they force players to come back and report what they might remember 3+ years ago, one night, while they were supposedly drunk?
The number of people who have lost their grip on reality in an effort to celebrate, investigate and castigate is really heartwarming...all this help, unfortunately just after the report is already published! Darn.
If they do a re-make of Mayberry RFD, there must be 20 people on here that could audition for the role of Barney Fife.
