'64 -

Appreciate the report....what was the final approximate attendance ?

" In football we are playing New Hampshire for the next four years and Harvard until 2019. "

Playing UNH is a step in the right direction. Umass would have been much more preferred but unfortunately Colgate took a multi-year home & home series with Umass right out from under our noses.

" In basketball in addition to Minnesota we are playing at URI. "

Sans PC and Uconn being options anymore URI is o.k.. They do have a new hoops palace in Kingston and a side trip to Newport is always nice.

" The ECAC hockey decision should be made known by July 1. If we get in, we will not be giving scholarships. "

I was afraid of this....but at the same time not surprised. I'll suspend my thoughts till after July 1ST.

" Dick is hopeful that within the very near future, approval will be given to the soccer stadium.It will seat about 1,200 and be located behind Hart. Soccer is his favorite sport and he wants it to be big at HC. "

Correct me if I'm wrong but the fields behind Hart ( 3 in total ? ), including the Astroturf one, are all groomed/leveled by tiers and all have existing lights, yes ? Basically, we're talking about a modest 1,200-seat grandstand topped by an equally modest press box, a concession stand beneath, some fencing and a modest scoreboard. The tab for this can't be that much....unless Regan is thinking about getting that new FieldTurf surface for both men's and women's play ( BC is currently putting it down in Alumni Stadium replacing the Astroturf ). I understand that runs around $300-400,000 per installation....

Thanks again !

To address the above which I have just now seen:

1. HC '85: Coaching change: I cannot give a time frame. I'm sorry you feel its a tease. That wasn't my intent. It is my understanding that Coach Eaton is remaining. Hope that helps.

2. Colgate 13: I reported what he said. If you disagree so be it. He specifically stated that Gordie Lockbaum still draws a significant amount of name recognition even if only from current high school coaches. I realize he played about 20 years ago but I also wrote above that he didn't say we had the best talent in the PL. He didn't indicate that we are head and shoulders above the rest of the PL. What he did say was that there were games that could have been won last year as I said above.

3. hoops, I don't know if URI is 2 for 1.

4. Rick: Approximate attendance was 50, perhaps 51. I don't know about the soccer field surface.

5. hcnj: Thank you for the additional comments and to you and HC '85 for the thank yous.

NTK,

OK. Thanks for the follow-up!

Actually the original comment was meant as more of a you're killing me with suspense kind of tone, not really serious. More facetious with the don't tell us comment as well. Should have used emoticons.

I'm glad you post the info you have and feel comfortable sharing. Over the 18 months I've been reading the BB have known you to be quite discrete with what you disclose and when you disclose it. Keep it up!
