My guess is it will take a few days to settle in and only then will he assess the football situation. Previously, he has stated that he will wait until the end of the season before making a decision. My hope is that he acts sooner but, since he is not even on the job yet, Spaz is safe.eaglebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536194020385661646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-52467446295383293352012-10-16T15:09:46.571-04:002012-10-16T15:09:46.571-04:00I laughed loudly when I read the headline of this ...I laughed loudly when I read the headline of this post!

Any independent or rural cable outfits have to pay a flat per head fee to get access to ESPN3. <br /><br />If you have only 1000 subscribers, you're not able to pay the going rates.<br /><br />The only option for ESPN3 for many is "bootleg" broadcasts of it from Europe.<br /><br />BTW most of our basketball schedule will be on ESPN3 this season.Lenny Sienkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106249138571503999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-20732691990726281482012-10-16T09:49:34.922-04:002012-10-16T09:49:34.922-04:00Tailgating hours are explicitly dictated to BC by ...Tailgating hours are explicitly dictated to BC by its license from the City of Boston.

It didn't seem to bother anyone, and to be honest it was kind of nice.

I got a nice email from vinny today at the Alumni association. I told him no one at BC gets any money out of me until Spaz is gone. Not buying any more merchandise either. Too embarrased. Usually go a BC game, picked Red River Rivalry instead in dallas and that whole experience was awesome, so I get to thank Spaz for that. And AtlEagle, ignore Blauds, he has friendship confused with business. Sometimes you cant have both. I'm also a BC grad- '91 TeddyEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566676019885617973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-53045788545677598372012-10-15T22:47:21.830-04:002012-10-15T22:47:21.830-04:00Let's hope it's a blessing in disguise...a...Let's hope it's a blessing in disguise...and that BC can argue that we can't have 11am kickoffs because our neighbors don't want that much traffic building up on the streets at 7am.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01427319051544009204noreply@blogger.com
