Actually, BU was still on break too.  And, since a higher percentage of BC fans
are from Mass than BU, the fact that more BU fans were there is a positive
statement for BU, and a sad statement of how bad BC is falling off in fan
support.
 
There was a time just a few years ago when a BU fan couldn't get tickets to a
game at BC.  Friday night, I had red line tix.
 
(my complaints about tix in my earlier post was in reference to the past)
 
We'll have to see what happens at the Beanpot.
