Rick, if you WERE trying to shoot the messenger, I only got a "flesh wound" as they used to say in the cowboy movies.

I can't comment other than what was said yesterday and believe was mentioned previously by some others on this board months ago (I don't have the energy to look for it). This may be a timing issue. I think you are talking about current members while the SAT scores quoted may be a few years ago as I believe there is a time lag on those reports. But it did trigger another point that the person I spoke with said - that SATs are only ONE point of reference and that class rank, what school the person comes from and other factors also need to be considered. There was also a joke that what Duke should have done was to put a "ringer" on the team that sits WAY DOWN at the end of the bench but has 1550 SAT scores just to bring the SAT average up!. Guys, if we don't want to be compared to UNLV (and no one really was), let's not get hung up over Duke either.

It sounds to me that what Fr. McFarland said on the west coast is very consistent with what my source said on the east coast. Thanks, Chu Chu.

The administrator I spoke with also was in Denver for the hockey game vs. UND and, like those of us who saw the game on TV, were very impressed with how well the team played - especially goalie Quesada who was as sick as a dog before the opening face-off that was not due to nerves or high altitude. This person said what we didn't see on TV was Tony doubled over at the bench every time there was a break.

I KNOW that Fr. McFarland is very high on Paul Pearl. He and I had a conversation last year at a hockey game in which he said the same that he was quoted as on the left coast. That's why I felt that HC was NOT going to lose him to that prep school a while back. Fr. Mike is a BIG hockey fan and he knows his stuff in that sport and coach Pearl has proven that assessment right on the mark.

I am now hearing similarly good things about Tom Gillmore in football.

One final thought. Chu Chu, Did Fr. M say anything about a booster club?

I never heard the idea of a booster club discussed. I'm sorry that I didn't ask that question myself.
