WestCoastBilliken Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Boston College is ranked #31. BC has a much nicer job and alumni pipeline to many of the top tier Fortune 500s, investment banks, and other financial institutions. BU is a great school as well, but I dont believe they are on the same level academically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Looks like Crews is in Indy watching Mack Mercer Kyle Neddenriep @KyleNeddenriep40m Saint Louis' Jim Crews watching recently offered Mack Mercer (2014) of Plymouth. Belmont, Iowa also. Chris Collins of NW watching McIntosh. Collapse Aaron Brennan is also playing in that game. I don't think Brennan has an offer.

moytoy12 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Aaron Brennan is also playing in that game. I don't think Brennan has an offer. [/size][/font] This instantly made me think of Bobby Brannen. The names are too close so I say no to Aaron Brennan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 C'mon, Broy, that's weak. Brannen was a jerk. You obviously never viewed our opponents fan's feelings on Conklin. And to deny that Conklin didn't play "physical" was ignoring the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure glad they were billikens Oh, I don't know. When Jason Sutherland and Derek Grimm were Tigers, I didn't really like them, even though I was a Tigers fan. I wasn't necessarily glad to have them. I felt they were dirty; I don't feel that way about Conklin and Ellis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Metzinger Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 BU is rankied 51 in USNWR and has over a billion in their endowment. Very solid school. Culturally, the town's devotion is split among the schools but the fiercest battle is between BU and BC. BC- Has football, great hockey (important in Boston) and that old school Irish-Catholic Bostonian feel to it. BU- Is downtown, rather than on the town outskirts, also has great hockey, has that super-progressive liberal Bostonian feel to it. Harvard, MIT, and Tufts, the town loves them because they are bragging points for the City as the "Athens of America" and all but no one really cares about them unless they went there. Northeastern kind of hangs around also. Source: Former Bostonian. BC is in Newton, Mass. Not Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Actually Northeastern is ranked just behind BU at #56. NE is known for pioneering the coop program. And this guy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Other than Northeastern, UMass Boston, and Suffolx Universities, there is very little inside Boston proper. Both MIT and Harvard are in Cambridge, BU is in Brookline or Allston, Tufts is in Medford, BC is in Newton, etc... It is all part of the Boston metro area.

I know...I lived in Worcester for three years. Quite familiar with the inner workings of the Hub of academia. it irks BC kids when you tell them "you didn't actually go to school IN Boston."

Old guy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Worcester: Clark U. and WPI, nice places, also the old armor museum. As far as I am concerned, the most attractive feature in the whole area (Massachusetts) is the sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amherst has some historical anecdotes with Emily Dickinson, etc. The turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston, according to James Taylor, is also quite beautiful when covered with snow.
