Hilltopper Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Brad Bates is friends with Jim Christian's agent.We should start calling this the "GP1 Constant". Quote
GP1 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 We should start calling this the "GP1 Constant".It's one of the constants. I see them as more like Newton's Laws. Sort of "GP1's Laws of Athletic Directors". I'd start a thread, but I'm too busy with work. Quote

Balsy Posted January 19, 2015 Report Posted January 19, 2015 Boston Globe article on the hand Christian's been dealt.I Kinda miss JC. Zips were 5-1 against him, and at least the Bobkittens were competitive... Quote
MDZip Posted March 5, 2016 Report Posted March 5, 2016 Might be leaving Boston College soon. 0-18 in the ACC. Quote

Sergeant Zip Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 Towson is favored to beat Boston College tonight. They already lost 79-73 to Nicholls. Quote
zippy5 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 I can't believe they haven't fired him yet. Quote

That's gross negligence considering 0-18 in ACC and 7-25 overall last season. The football program is also one of the worst in the nation. How does that AD have a job? Quote
zippy5 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 The AD must go to all of the hockey games and forget about basketball Quote
kreed5120 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) I'm not sure how many of you guys have seen "The Producers", but given the current state of the athletic arms race and the TV money P5 schools already have at their disposal perhaps "You can make more money with a flop than with a hit."

The Producers. Broadway? That's the re-make of Springtime for Hitler with Zero Mostel. Great film from -- the sixties? Quote

zippy5 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Without Jim Christian the best press conference of all time wouldn't have happened. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened Edited February 16, 2021 by zippy5 1 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) $8.9M for 6.5 years of less than mediocre ACC basketball. Congrats JC! Per 92.3 The Fan, CSU's Dennis Gates is on the short list for Boston College. I wonder what that would mean for Dru Joyce? Edited February 16, 2021 by Let'sGoZips94 Quote
