All of them look appropriate to wear to a funeral. Aren't there any artists on campus? The Dutch national team jersey for the World Cup is a case in point. There are plenty of other original jerseys for other teams. Maybe BC should go the way of the Premier League in soccer. Instead of the team name on the chest, they have Emirates Airlines and such.JBQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344181644293746758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-8438794028456037842014-12-05T17:29:52.051-05:002014-12-05T17:29:52.051-05:00I meant "wear" not "where."I meant "wear" not "where."eaglebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536194020385661646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-85467076425738686242014-12-05T17:29:00.408-05:002014-12-05T17:29:00.408-05:00Yeah, I'm 48 and I still where T-shirts to gam...Yeah, I'm 48 and I still where T-shirts to games.

If this game gets 5,000, my projection is <br />1200 black PC fans<br />800 yellow/gold<br />1000 maroon<br />2000 random colors of normal clothes<br />1000 empty maroon chairs<br />1800 empty bench seats<br /><br />Our fan Baer just doesn't do this sorta stuff especially when there isn't additional hype around a team/game. If WR were 24-1 and playing against a top 5 team it might work.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852682232912278307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-54545416926895321162014-12-05T07:40:13.365-05:002014-12-05T07:40:13.365-05:00Can't be said enough...
Win Win Win Win Win ...Can't be said enough... <br /><br />Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win.<br /><br />Especially since the old complaints were that students have to buy tickets but are now included on the new gold passes. So students can just walk into games but still choose not to. <br /><br />Unless you are a diehard basketball fan there's no reason to go Conte for all but a handful of the games unless the team is winning. College basketball is not an attractive sport. Missed jumpers, missed layups, missed free throws. Lack of true stars given the need to jump to the NBA early to preserve your stock. I think the new rules limiting the beat-em-up defensive styles will help but it will take time. BC has a history of great teams, but none in the last 8 years (weird to think, but true) so the current students were between 10 and 14 at the time. <br /><br />I never missed a game I was on campus for during some lean years, but I was a rarity. And believe me, it is not fun to sit in a student section of 30 kids and the band and stare at an arena that is 25% filled at best. The only way to change it is to win and then hope the culture can change enough that students will keep coming when a new set of lean years hit.GP11https://www.blogger.com/profile/18114348784688324267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-65384965680270906082014-12-05T07:01:31.078-05:002014-12-05T07:01:31.078-05:00Big Ern and Danny Boy nailed it.

Let's hope by mid season the guys we have will gel and at least earn a measure of respect to help with recruiting.

To make them special by making them white is completely misguided. <br /><br />Not to mention that Providence fans generally wear white. This is like the Terps having a red-out during the Ohio State game and trying to co-opt visiting fans. <br /><br />I love the idea of special shirts for games, and even special super fans. But don't make them less unique, and don't make the students pay for them.
