BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

Re: BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

Perhaps they did. I wouldn't put absolute faith in the Fenway announcer, but he definitely made that distinction. I thought it was a bit strange myself, though we have seen transfers become captain before (Jacques Joubert.)

Yeah those could be the captains in the end but I have been told that they haven't been decided yet. Ronan was there as well as another local senior.

Mpereira is correct, no captain or alternate/assistant has been decided by the coaches yet, Fenway must've just got confused.

Agganis, I'm not about to play your little game. Continue to troll as hard as you want. Again, you can believe whatever you want to believe. Answer this for me though...do YOU believe every word of that tweet?

What game am I playing? You want to dismiss that story, I responded with reasons I thought you were being overzealous with your conclusions, which apparently makes me a troll (in the BU thread no less);)

Do I believe the tweet? Yes.
Would I be SHOCKED if it turns out a detail or two were slightly off (An alternate drug, DeFilippo instead of Leahy, if the interaction with the Globe went slightly differently {although no real specifics are given to the how with that so that's more of a grey area}) after it remained a secret a secret for so long? Not really, but yes I believe the tweet.

It would be interesting to hear what JD thinks happened that caused them to be indefinitely suspended for the whole year. Has anyone heard a significantly alternate version of the story?

Drew, again, I haven't denied any of the details as to why they were kicked off the team. It's just funny to me that for years on here, nobody (not even the trolls) has ever come close to writing everything that was in that tweet, yet some saps are willing to take it as gospel simply because it's anti-BC. Probably the same saps who discredited the Globe reporting of the BU stuff. So if I have that straight, this anonymous tweet from a BU handle is more credible than the Boston Globe...is that accurate? LOL.

If it happens at BC he doesn't care if the truth ever comes out. If something happens at BU, all of a sudden he is Woodward and Bernstein. :D (hope you young'uns don't have to google those names!)

To be fair, I'd probably be the same way...but I wouldn't go about adamantly denying scandals once they came out on internet forums. What's the JD Scandal post count at by now? 20?
 
Re: BU 2013 Offseason Thread - Bring on the Mighty Quinn

you're proving my point with the "it was on the interweb, therefore it is automatically true" mentality. not sure why it's a big deal that i'm posting about it...i didn't bring it up. should i be talking about the exhibition opener instead?

gentry, i don't care if the truth comes out. i want the truth. i've wanted it since they were dismissed. even at the time, i wanted to know what happened. and when/if the whole truth ever does come out in a reputable report, i will acknowledge it.

You obviously haven't read the Globe lately. :)

Would that be because you don't care enough to deny it or because you believe it is true once it's written on an internet forum?

edit - FWIW this whole thing is hilarious. As always, consider the source.

Please enlighten us with what really happened. I'll ask again, has anyone ever heard a significantly different version of the story?

I heard they were pod people.

It's a funny tweet. Not sure why it has bunched so many panties.

then why without knowing that this is false do you want to dismiss it so badly? you want to know the truth but dont want this to be it, why?

Yup... the tweet is b.s.
That's all I've got to say about that.

I believe my initial post on it was to say thank you because I needed a good laugh, so I agree completely. The tweet is definitely funny.

you want to know the truth but dont want this to be it, why?

why would anybody want that tweet to be true about the program they follow? as i've said before, people can believe what they want to believe--that's their right. just don't try telling me it came from a reputable source.

I told Mookie what happened back in that season. The tweet is hyperbole and disingenuousness at it's best.
