This discussion belongs on a slow news day in June or July, not when the hockey team is going for a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.<br /><br />I suppose tomorrow's post will be about the new woman's hoops coach with a lame link to the hockey game being shown on ESPN2.<br /><br />To add insult to injury, the Frozen Four will be played closer to ATL than to most of us. I wonder if BC makes it to the finals, if ATL will make the trip to Tampa to support the team, like he does when BC plays football and b-ball games in the Stand Your Ground State. <br /><br />It's his blog and he can write about what he wants, but the indifference to the only sport BC will ever win a national championship in is very disappointing to me.<br /><br />GO EAGLES, bring back the trophy.Scoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775371005877183144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-15766838179247126022012-04-04T15:03:29.491-04:002012-04-04T15:03:29.491-04:00I would love to have a BC visit to Bosco.

What a great idea!<br /><br />The BC folks could meet a HOF coach who thought enough of BC in years past to send two of his sons there.<br /><br />They'd also see a two-peat National Championship program which plays any and all comers, priding itself on tough defense.<br /><br />They do all of this while still maintaining the highest academic standards. Bosco also espouses discipline; e.g., their 2004 loss against St. Joe's of Montvale was a result of the entire offensive line being suspended the day before the game over a rules infraction. Ruined my 40th reunion.<br /><br />Bosco alos has managed to keep its traditional rivalry (Bergen Catholic) going strong.<br /><br />Hell, I'd even drive down the 150 miles to see BC at Bosco.<br /><br />Don Bosco Prep '64<br /><br />***<br /><br />Go Eagles, Beat the Gophers.Lenny Sienkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106249138571503999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-46224858453145381092012-04-04T12:13:15.541-04:002012-04-04T12:13:15.541-04:00Maybe it's because I never paid too much atten...Maybe it's because I never paid too much attention to the spring roster, but I don't recall this many walk-ons in the past. What do the coaches tell these guys - we just need you for the spring, but you can tell your grand children that you played for BC?<br /><br />Am I correct in assuming that once the freshmen report and we get back our injured players, the list of walk-ons will shrink dramatically?<br /><br />Also, did we have more injuries this spring than usual?Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-54539488574048648422012-04-04T11:37:36.292-04:002012-04-04T11:37:36.292-04:00bostonfoodie --

It caught my attention and I was wondering why BC chose to emphasis the HS coach of a walk-on. I appreciate your follow up point.<br /><br />Hope your thoughtful guess is right. Could it be that the BC recruiters are starting to make some inroads in the south? Sounds like the best way for BC to get Southern talent is to employ the classic BC strategy of finding sleepers that are not heavily recruited and then develop them into stars -- e.g., Montelmod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-17852468321684275402012-04-04T10:59:47.492-04:002012-04-04T10:59:47.492-04:00This may be a random stretch, but Zack Wolfe's...This may be a random stretch, but Zack Wolfe's HS Coach is the brother of Will Muschamp (HC of Florida). Walk-ons usually only get a spot on the team with a strong recommendation from their HS coach. Could this a reflection of Spaz trying to get recruiting inroads to the South, or is that expecting far too much.CatabEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152594305758254312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-28587181838070156872012-04-04T10:51:18.926-04:002012-04-04T10:51:18.926-04:00Miz,

Just compare the attendance at BC hockey games (regular sellouts) with BC hoops games (cricket...cricket...[rolling tumbleweed]) and you'll see what I mean. <br /><br />Thus, a blog that claims to cover BC sports should probably discuss BC hockey on the eve of the Frozen Four, rather than speculating about holding a football practice in New Jersey some day so 14 fans can show up.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860968589818360244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-72915470384339294462012-04-04T10:08:36.800-04:002012-04-04T10:08:36.800-04:00why is it so perplexing to some why ATL doesn'...why is it so perplexing to some why ATL doesn't follow hockey. just going to go out on a limb and guess that he doesn't follow hockey like the vast majority of sports fans in the US. <br /><br />if he has nothing to add in terms of insight or analysis, why should he put up "GO BC HOCKEY" posts? what would that really add to the conversation? this blog is run by one guy who is a BC fan, and his football/basketball insight are great -- come for that. otherwise, its silly to complain about lack of hockey coverage.EL MIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12042895353703675136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-1757635460610482882012-04-04T07:57:52.272-04:002012-04-04T07:57:52.272-04:00Jeffrey Jay, soph WR from CT????
