I too really enjoyed the dinner. I especially liked the room and the
fact that we all introduced ourselves. I couldn't hear and see
everybody but it was great to learn what I did. I hope to make it to
next year's dinner so I can meet some of those I missed and re-meet
those I did.
My apologies to Charlie Shub for not recognizing him. It was wonderful
that he remembered me from last year.
Being in the Boston area I am now tired of hearing about BC's National
Championship. I am ready to say their time is up and time for someone
else (guess who). The Eagles did have a celebration at Conte Forum
yesterday evening. The TV stations had reporters there for reports in
their evening broadcasts. I kept seeing empty seats behind the
newscasters but finally they turned the camera and there did seam to be
a decent sized crowd. It certainly didn't fill the arena but they were
there and cheering their Eagles.
I would like to compliment the North Dakota fans. I thought they made a
nice showing for themselves. They had a long way to travel but they
were there in force and made a lot of noise (the good kind). I also
noticed that when their team lost they did not flock to the exits like
the BC fans did in Providence. The Sioux fans stayed to salute their
team. I salute them. It is one of my pet peeves when fans leave before
the end of a game. The game may have been over but both teams deserved
a round of applause for a game well played.
