NIT Last night

Ok so I was just completely baffled last night watching the NIT.

BC is a #1 seed in the NOT IN TOURNAMENT tournament and played a road game at McNeese State. Let me say that again played a road game at McNeese State. Are you kidding me? They reiterated the fact that the hockey team had the ice but anyone who believes that is a fool. DeFillipo and probably ESPN knew that BC wouldn't draw flies for an NIT game considering we can't draw a crowd for ACC home games. Listen I understand I would give priority to hockey too considering we are dominating women's and men's hockey this year like we always do. Yes, hockey is BC's best sport right now. But this just highlights the biggest problem at BC for sports.

First off, we're never going to get the best recruits. We know that, but don't you think it would help if a kid came for a recruiting trip to a basketball game and saw a crowd in the stands? You're playing for a perennial top 6 ACC team and play in front of 3,000 people at the most. What is the problem with these BC students? You pay $58 k a year to go to a school and you don't even think to support the athletic programs that bring a ton of money into the school? What better do you have to do on a Tuesday night than get to go watch Reggie Jackson dominate a basketball game? I remember 5 years ago we had to get to games an hour early to get close to a seat. Now you can walk in ten minutes in and get any seat you want in the place.

It's not just basketball its everything. Watching football games this year with empty seats. Are you kidding me? I don't understand it. Get your asses out of your dorm rooms and get to games. I'm sure all of you have plenty of money to buy tickets so that's not the issue. It's pure laziness and a lack of self-pride in your school. I've never witnessed a more fair weather student body in my entire life. Sure when we were number 2 in the country in football it was crazy, but the second we lost people lost interest in it. This is your school that you will get a job because of. Have some pride and show up for games. It's getting to be a joke.
