I thought the response to their introduction was lame and an insult. It should hvae been an unanimous standing ovation and it was not.

Conte holds over 8,000 so if it was over 50% full that means over 4,000...<br /><br />It was a lot of fun. Definitely has room to grow into a great BC event for years to come. Needed to get the kinks out, etc but it was fun. Women's basketball coach coming out and doing the Dougie and the Stanky Leg was the highlight of the night. Needed to do more with the hockey people although it's tough to do any skills competitions on half a rink. The dunk contest was at the end and a lot of people had trickled out to watch the basketball game. At the start it was a great turnout especially considering the entire student body barely fills Conte.GP11https://www.blogger.com/profile/18114348784688324267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-12222130221557591052010-10-28T12:54:01.920-04:002010-10-28T12:54:01.920-04:00BC had 21 teams with perfect GSR scores: 14 women&...BC had 21 teams with perfect GSR scores: 14 women's and 7 men's.<br /><br />Thanks, ladies.

The dunk contest at the end only had about 2000 people there, as it ended 2.5 hours after most people got there early. Atypical of a BC crowd, everyone was there early, by 7:45.<br /><br />They did a GREAT job with the event... coaches and players had fun, Costas and Vanilla Ice did well, Flutie participated in the 3 point contest, Jerry York was driven onto the ice in a SUV with flames on the side... lots of good professional videos and lead-ins from Jared Dudley and Brian Gionta... many more things too. They pulled out all the stops... might need to be an every-other-year event so that it doesn't get too stale and keeps people interested/excited each time.<br /><br />Agreed that the hockey trick shot didn't work like they wanted it to-- probably should have just had it without the goalie and had some other smaller obstacle in front of the net. Plus it took some energy away and caused people to leave before the dunk contest, which was too bad. If people had known in advance there would be a dunk contest at the end, maybe they would have stayed... but the video doesn't do justice to how full the place was. 4000 people for this event was a great turnout -- more than we'll get at most actual basketball games this year, for sure. I also think there were people in the area who may have showed up otherwise but stayed home to watch Celtics/Heat.KSchohlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202503602059434207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-40348224482256379232010-10-28T10:00:03.401-04:002010-10-28T10:00:03.401-04:00there is no way there were 4000 people there. the...there is no way there were 4000 people there. the lower section was probably about 75% full and the upper sections were probably about 30%.<br /><br />i still think it was a good crowd and it was lively at times. people seemed psyched about the teams.<br /><br />the hardest shot contest was kind of weak.<br />the trick shot was weak as well since most of the skaters didn't pull of a shot at all and none scored. they should have just had a shootout competition involving more skaters...would have been more interesting.<br /><br />three point contest was ok, but got abridged.<br />slam dunk contest was the highlight of the night. <br /><br />i think this definitely has potential to grow an dbecome a tradition.Ryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768915293598447957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-9749957253030927222010-10-28T08:57:07.208-04:002010-10-28T08:57:07.208-04:00It was packed.
