...wasn't this also the first college basketball game at the new Madison Square Garden?

Beat -

I think it was supposed to be but I believe completion of the new MSG was delayed and these games wound up at the old building....without checking the HC archives, I'm not 100% sure about this.

BTW, over my workbench at home I still have 2 never used peel-off/stick-on 'BEAT BC' auto bumper stickers circa the early 80's. Guess they qualify as collector's items, eh ?

...I have the same sticker - I used several on cars in the 80's - have one left, proudly displayed amongst other sports memorabilia (including a framed ticket stub from the '77 35-20 shellacking of BC @ Fitton - the only time I ever saw us beat BC in football) - sigh...'Beat Marist' will never have the same ring...

It still irks me that I didn't attend that BC-HC game in '77.

Was it true that only 12,000 or so were in attendance at Fitton ( believe we were a 4-5 TD dog going in ) for the kick-off but by the start of the 4th quarter the crowd had swelled to 15,000+ via the then radio broadcasts and ABC flashing the score on it's college football telecast early that afternoon ?

I DID see the 30-29 triller at old Alumni Stadium which featured Glenn Verette's last minute game-saving interception in our endzone....Man, beating BC at Alumni was sweet !

12K+ sounds about right, it was definitely the smallest BC-game crowd I was ever part of. Not sure about the crowd increase during the game. it was Thanksgiving weekend so no students on campus but many were probably close enough to show up after halftime....certainly no-one left early. Hell, I remember how great I felt just seeing us up at half (21-20?)....remains the only time I ever rushed a field after a game.....was away with the Navy for the '78 game - didn't BC end up 0-11 that year?
