Back to Business

Things are finally getting back to normal around campus. Hillside was packed, with a refreshing batch of junior vixens back from their adventures abroad and other BC coeds showing off their Florida/ Hawaii/ Endless Summer Tanorama/ Chanel Bronzer tans. Santa Claus is always good to BC students, and we saw a lot of new iPod Nano's being passed around. It's gotten to the point where if you don't have the white earbuds snaking out of your North Face fleece, you might as well be wearing parachute pants, a fanny pack, and a Starter Jacket. Last year, we bought the trademark iPod earbuds and tucked them into our iPod-less pockets. We had the whole campus fooled, until that one fateful April day when Pearcey botched the tuck-job.

STUFF: Gongshow@BC has continued to grow and get positive press- In today's "Heights," there is a feature on blogs and the Gongshow@BC is showcased. The "Heights" staff has continued to impress us with their intrepid journalism and instinctive knowledge of the gongshow lifestyle. Go grab a copy and check out the article.

Luke Russert & "The Ragin' Cajun" James Carville on XM Satellite Radio: Gongshow@BC field correspondent Luke Russert is making the jump from arguing with us to arguing with Democratic political strategist, former Clinton aide, and commentator James Carville. The pair will have their own debate-style sports radio show on XM Satellite Radio starting in March. Luke, who spent the past summer interning at ESPN as "Stat Boy" on Pardon the Interruption, is very excited about the show and knows he has the Gongshow@BC empire behind him. For our Gongshow@BC fans who don't keep up with their politics, you might remember Carville from the hilarious debate scene in "Old School." TONIGHT- Luke's show, will be called "60/20" (the ages of the co-hosts), will be announced tonight on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno at 11:30 PM NBC.

Around Campus: Mother Nature has been throwing major curveballs lately. We came back to school and it was balmy, almost spring-like. Kids were smiling, the skirts were out, and the dustbowl was full of frisbee enthusiasts. Then came the monsoon season, which was devastating for those vixens who hadn't waterproofed their Uggs. O'Neill Plaza was Puddle City, and campus was an umbrella graveyard. This morning, we woke up to a blizzard. Again, we want all Gongshow@BC readers to thanks the grounds crew warriors who keep the stairways and sidewalks safe for passing- they're just good guys.

Chris Collins for Hobey: We'd like to officially nominate Chris Collins, BC Hockey's leading sniper, for the Hobey Baker award. The Hobey is college hockey's most prestigious individual honor, and Chris has been on fire all year. Go to HobeyBaker.com to support Chris, a loyal Gongshow@BC reader.
In other hockey news, BC goaltender Cory Schneider has been an absolute force in net recently, as read on ESPN.com. Schneids stopped all 55 shots he faced against UVM this weekend, and is tied for the most shutouts in a season for a BC goalie. Keep it up, Cory.
The BC Women's Hockey squad continued their unprecedented season by sweeping Comm. Ave rival BU in a home and away series this weekend. Goalie Alison Quandt earned Hockey East Player of the Week honors.
