You were on the team in the mid-80's under Brooks and Reedy????? Reedy didn't arrive at HC until 2 or 3 years after I left. He got there in 1993 or 1994. Moreover, not many attended HC hockey games during my 4 year tenure, especially not more than HC mens and womens hoops, even with their mediocre results. Also, the HC hoops and fball teams NEVER EVER got better meals than anyone else at HC. I know that for a fact. I lived with hoops players and ate many meals with them. i think you're full of it. I don't you think attended HC and if you did, you didn't last long.
To Rick:
HC does not have an alumni base of 20,000. halve that amount. check your facts.
confidential info. please. more likely fabricated info. we're not delaing with material, non-public information ala wall street here. it's bogus junk from a bogus poster.
answers
you answered the hill dorms question right, but that was a punt.
the streak - alumni and carlin. killed after soph year. thank you brooks.
theater = the PIT. didn't hang with brooks and didn't hang in the theater. saw one play there in 4 years, but it got mentioned every other week in that liberal rag The Crusader.
priest = labran. hat = purple cowboy hat. may have been a bit eccentric, but think the fat, drunk remark was a bit unprovoked. he worked hard for the students. cant' say the same about Markey or some of the other people in admin.
kimball theater = pr. charlie baker. ran it for close to 30 years and taught a great elective for upperclassmen.
if you attended in the mid-80's and don't know that, coupled with the fact that you mention Reedy during the same time period suggests you are either a fraud or take copious amounts of drugs. either way, you got no game. go back to brdigeport and find a job at the stanley plant. ohh, that was closed down.

To: HC 1991
During much of Father Brooks' presidency, his top advisor [in the opinion of most alums] was Father Maurice Reidy, SJ whom I'm pretty sure the hockey alum was making reference to [As opposed to President George Reedy, SJ of the mid-90s].
The last I read the school had close to 30,000 living alums.
Things change over the years. For decades the tiny theater was called "The Little Theater". The fact it may have been called the "Pit" by students in your day does not change that fact.
As to your NEVER/EVER contention about FB/BB tables/meals in Kimball - wrong again. There were definitely FB training tables for decades - The fact that there may not have been in the 90s does not make hockey alum wrong about remembering them in the 80s.
Found your "Answer my questions to prove you were an HC alum" rant one of the more juvenile and idiosyncratic things things I've read on this board in three years. If you got out in '91 you are presumably in your mid-30s by now. Time to develop a less embarrassing/more mature arguing style?

Pitt 65. Get off your high horse and don't lecture me. If you feel the need to counsel younger people on tone in their arguments, go spend some spare time at the young lawyers club. Your generation does not get mine and we don't get yours, let's leave it that. By the way, I'm curious to see if you enjoyed his comment about LaBran? Give me a break. Where were your policing efforts there. let me guess, you worship at the altar of bobby kennedy and are confused by the young people today. classic.
Do you have any idea how many frauds show up regularly on this posting board? One showed up the other day and dropped some garbage about the ECAC. how do we know it's not the same person under a different moniker.
as to your other points.
the school does not have 30,000 living alumni.
there has not been any athletes' tables since 1985 -that's 20 years.
the pit has been called the pit since the 80s, the same period where the poster in question claims to have spent his time there. things change from 1965 to 1985 radically, not so from 1985 to 1991.
i've never heard of reidy and don't know anyone who has. if he was thinking about reidy, why'd he spell it incorrectly. brooks consulted mostly with miller and markey on matters during the 80s & 90s.
was that enough logic for you? give me a break. it's bingo night at the young lawyers club - they're anxiously awaiting your words of wisdom.

HC alumni -- pitt65, 02:01:10 07/14/04 Wed
As of 12/31/03, school lists alumni of record as 32,993. Info found easily on HC website. [Even if it were not listed it wouldn't be hard to estimate - start with @600 per year since 1970 (or last 35 years)to get 21,000; halve that number for prior 30 years to account for reduced class size & actuarial rates]
Your estimate of 10,000 is absurd.

Rev. Maurice Reidy, SJ -- pitt65, 02:40:06 07/14/04 Wed
Father Maurice Reidy, SJ - Info about Father Reidy in relation to athletics at Holy Cross in the Swords-Brooks era can undoubtedly be found by HC 1991 [and any of his friends who have never heard of the man]on his plaque in the Holy Cross Athletic Hall of Fame. It was for his longtime connection to HC athletics that the late Father Reidy was given one of the handful of honorary memberships in the hall. He was inducted in the early 1980s.
Using HC 1991's standards, does this mean his lack of knowledge about an HC Hall member means old '91 is an imposter?

HC 91: Your factual comments are helpul. However,your sarcastic comments directed towards Pitt65 are useless and add little to the discouse on this board. Moreover, such comments and lack of respect reflect poorly on our generation. Father LaBran, who now resides at the Jesuits' infirmary in Weston, is a class act and a truly holy man. His retreats are legendary and he's positively influenced numerous students, student-athletes and faculty. He lived the HC motto!

HC 91: Your factual comments are helpful. However, your sarcastic comments directed towards Pitt65 add little discouse to this board. Moreover, such comments and lack of respect reflect poorly on our generation and society in general. Fr. LaBran, who now resides in the Jesuits' infirmary at Weston, is a class act and truly a holy man. His retreats are legendary and he's influenced numerous students, student-athletes and staff/faculty. He lived the HC motto-Yahweh!

Re: goHChockey = Loser fraud -- goHChockey, 01:10:14 07/14/04 Wed
To HC 1991:
Excuse me if I didn't recall the President for all four years of my tenure. I could have looked it up online if I really was a fraud. BTW, I answered 3 of 5 of your silly questions, the exceptions being some theater I never attended and some professor I never had. I was a History major, but never once took a course from Lap Dog (know who that was?), like all the football players.
You were thankfully still in HS during my years on the hill, so you likely wouldn't know how well attended hockey games were in the mid-'80s. We most certainly did regularly outdraw the women BB and the men BB for a couple of games as well.
Again, because you weren't there, you wouldn't know that football and BB got training table and hockey did not.
You're response might be that they somehow deserved it and we did not. Well let me hazard a guess and tell you that I've likely played with (HC hockey) and against more hockey players who went on to play professionally than the HC football and BB teams produced during my years. That is some indication perhaps that this was quality hockey, even if the administration didn't recognize it.
Again, I relayed information that was provided to me from a friend at HC with personal knowledge of the HC bid for the ECAC. Neither I nor my source have concrete knowledge what the ECAC's decision will ultimately be. It was merely the impression of the source that our bid MAY have failed. And again, I fully support our admission to the ECAC. And again, not one of the other applicants can compete with HC in any meaningful way. Why would a Quinnipiac supporter say such things? Moreover, I don't see any other posters revealing who their sources are in this regard. I'm just sharing info that was given to me, which info I believe other alums and fans might want to hear, even if it is bad news. In any event, our posts don't influence a thing, so try decaf next time. Try growing up too.

Lap Dog = Fr. Lapomarda, S.J.
and from what i was told, he was not as easy as the name would indicate, despite the abundance of fball players in his classes.

More convinced now? Why don't I ask you some trivia, hockey trivia! What was the Teapot Tournament, where was it held, who was in it, and when was it last played?

Re: goHChockey = Loser fraud -- HC 1991, 02:27:35 07/14/04 Wed
started in 1980. probably killed before or around 1986, b/c I don't remember it in my 4 years.
teams were mostly D II teams situated in Mass, which HC was at the time. an alternative to the beanpot, but still played at the boston garden.
teams included umass lowell and merrimack - prior to the hockey east and d1 upgrades. HC and maybe salem state too. bowdoin or colby may have been in the mix at one time too.

You appear to have gotten yourself all wound up here....
" HC does not have an alumni base of 20,000. halve that amount. check your facts. "
( per pitt65 ) " As of 12/31/03, school lists alumni of record as 32,993. Info found easily on HC website. "
Looks like we were BOTH wrong on that, you agree ?
" confidential info. please. more likely fabricated info. we're not delaing with material, non-public information ala wall street here. it's bogus junk from a bogus poster. "
Perhaps he was/is. But, even though as of this writing we're working off a newspaper article only, his comments of the other day track pretty well with this article, you agree ?
" if you attended in the mid-80's and don't know that, coupled with the fact that you mention Reedy during the same time period suggests you are either a fraud or take copious amounts of drugs. either way, you got no game. go back to brdigeport and find a job at the stanley plant. ohh, that was closed down. "
Text wise it appears you directed this at me. Presume in your haste you meant to direct it goHCockey ?
