Midweek roundup

Big night for the BC Women. They knocked off top seed Ohio State. This year was somewhat of a letdown for them, so it is nice to see them finish strong.

BC announced its long-rumored new ticket policy this week. Basically donations are needed to get and retain the best seats for Football and Basketball. It is easy for me to say from 1,000 miles away, but I think the Boston-area fans need to stop complaining about this. BC is far behind the curve on the donation issue. Nearly every school down here has some sort of system like this in place. If you think the total cost is too much for the product, then don't pay. It will send a message. You can follow BC without going to the games (I do). I think this is a needed step in the change of BC fan culture and will inturn raise the expectations on our Football and Basketball teams. If it doesn't work, BC will have egg on its face. But you can't blame them for trying.

A nice feature on Sean Williams in the Dallas Morning-News. Let us hope that he stays out of trouble for the remainder of his career.

Chris Collins won the Walter Brown Hockey Award. Congrats.

Here is an article on Championship teams and the number of future NBA draft picks they have. I like the thought behind the article but I think it misses the point (and BC is ranked low since Smith is listed as the only NBA draft pick). You need talent to win, but it doesn't all have to be Senior and/or exit early talent. Smith is the only NBA draft pick for this season. However, Dudley and Williams could both be future NBA players. BC has enough talent to win.
