Thanksgiving Leftovers

Your boys from Gongshow@BC spent Thanksgiving at the Greeley home in Scituate, Mass. Scituate is a charming South Shore community and is proudly nicknamed the "Irish Riviera." It was the perfect setting for a Turkey Day Feast and Jan Greeley really outdid herself with a smorgasbord of delicious delicacies. We hope all of our readers had an equally enjoyable holiday.

A true gongshow knows the importants of academics and getting the most out of Boston College, and we here at Gongshow@BC have our priorities straight. Right now, BC students are coming down the home stretch of the academic semester- a grueling few weeks of final projects, exams, and the like. Hence, today's blog will just be a few quick snippets for you to enjoy.

Free Burrito Day- Boloco, formerly known as The Wrap, is a Cleveland Circle staple for the crunchy BC student. We have been huge Wrap fans for years, and we support the name change as John Pepper (Wrap co-founder) looks to promote Boloco's product as an "inspired burrito" and not as a cold, boring wrap. From 11am-7pm on Tuesday (29th!), Boloco will be winning back the hearts of Cleveland Circle diners by giving away free burritos. We'll be there, and you can be damn certain that Homeless Indian Rock Star (formerly known as Crazy Drunk Violent Homeless Indian aka Chief), Dallas Cowboys Starter Jacket/ moustache guy, and mis-matched sneaker non-crust eating Bank of America ATM guy will all be there too.

Bostonians Christmas Concert- The Bostonians, Gongshow@BC's favorite campus a cappella group since Annie Murphy retired from The Sharps, are having their annual holiday show this Saturday (12/3) at 7pm. Alex Bain aka Bain Train, a loyal Gongshow@BC reader and also a new uncle to Luke Alexander Foley, is a stud bass in the group and will surely shine come Saturday night.

BC/BU Hockey Weekend- This series is the epitome of college hockey, and any matchup between the two Comm. Ave juggernauts is steeped in tradition. This Beanpot preview might even outdraw the Bostonians concert and will have the electric atmosphere of a Has Beens / Puck U. overtime thriller. The Gongshow@BC family has ties to both sides of this rivalry, as Steve Greeley (older brother of Mike) played at BU (01-04) and co-author Joe Pearce is a BC netminder. God Bless Everyone. On a sidenote, we want to remind all 21+ BC Superfans that alcoholic beverages are sold at Agganis Arena, so pace yourself accordingly at Roggie's Happy Hour and get to Agganis in time for the National Anthem. Good Luck to the Eagles- Friday at Conte and Saturday at Agganis.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Miyagi- On November 24th, the world lost one of its greatest ninja's. Pat Morita, who also appeared in over 100 made-for-TV movies / Lifetime specials/ junior high sex-ed videos, was made famous by the Karate Kid trilogy and will be missed dearly by aspiring ninjas and fellow dojo masters worldwide.

A True BC Vixen- A Mod-dwelling beauty has been spotted in Barstool Sports' Meet the Model. Jen, who hails from Lynnfield, Mass, preserves the reputation of BC's Connell School of Nursing for being a factory for classy, attractive BC coeds. This is not the first time BC has been well represented in Barstool Sports' Meet the Model- we don't know if she is a BC girl, but Kristen from Woburn can certainly pull off the Superfan shirt in a way that would make any Kostka boy smile. Thanks to the BC Blog for digging these up and for showing the Gongshow@BC so much love.

BigUps: *Tyrese Rice, a froshy baller out of VA, is this week's ACC Rookie of the Week. With 21 points in the championship game of the Las Vegas Invitational, this trey-draining phenom should have a huge season for the Dirty Birds, who are predicted by the NY Times to be front-runners for the National Championship this year. *The Pilgrims and Indians- These guys were really onto something with the whole Thanksgiving feast idea. And to think it's been almost 400 years since that original gongshow in Plymouth- we remember it like it was yesterday.
