Spazoo's and Gene Theme Songs Singer/Writer Dies
Davy Jones, the lead singer of The Monkees, died this morning after suffering a heart attack in Indiantown, Fla., his representative confirmed to ABC News. He was 6 and 6.
The British born Jones joined The Monkees in 1966 and contributed to a stable of rock hits, including "Daydream Believer" and "I’m a Believer."
The Non-Championship Flags after 1940 at the Yawkey Football Office War Room will be flown at halfmast and the 2 songs will be played during the Veals on Wheels lunch break with the maintenance crew having a moment of silence, or silencio if illegal immigrants.
Spazoo was quoted as saying, “Hey, I daydream all the time that my 2 star recruit guys are really 5 star recruits, and then I just take a nap!”
Gene added, “Spazoo made a believer outta me last year when we were headed for disaster and Spazoo coached’em up to 4-8 since Jags left the cupboard bare years ago. I believe we have the best Coach ever in 16 years…..and hey, aren’t those roasted peppers and provolone on the surprise antipasto simply not to be believed!!”
Whoa.

my thinking too
i won’t be satisfied unless we improve to .500 in the acc
Not happening
The non-conference schedule is not getting any easier than it was this year.
Editor, BC Interruption
Rephrased
I won’t be happy with that, but I think that’s what we’re looking at.
2013: 16-15 (6-10 ACC)
Editor, BC Interruption
so you think we’re going 10-5 in non conference play and still are gonna be below .500 against New England schools?
Re: New England, depends on who we play. Replace a:
Harvard with Dartmouth
Rhode Island with Bryant
BU with Northeastern
Holy Cross with AIC
And we’ll talk.
Editor, BC Interruption
yea i understand that
I just feel like we got BLOWN out by teams like holy cross… and there’s no way the way this team is playing now we would lose like that again… i hope
My only point is the non-conf schedule isn’t getting any easier next season. I mean, the only major conference program we played in non-conf was Penn State. Penn freaking State.

Undefeated. National Championship. Shutout Duke at Cameron Indoor.

Keep in mind ...
BC had a VERY favorable schedule this year: Two game series against:
Wake Forest — who is still Wake Forest
Miami — first-year coach
N.C. State — first-year coach
Georgia Tech — first-year coach
Virginia Tech — lost a ton of talent
The ACC isn’t getting Syracuse and Pitt next year, which means the scheduling rotation will continue. That means next year BC gets 2x:
Miami
Virginia Tech
Clemson
Duke
Florida State
Much, much less favorable ACC sched next year. BC has struggled in years where we get this group 2×.
Editor, BC Interruption
The worst part is of the 10 games where we played an ACC team 2x this year, we are 1-8. Hopefully 2-8, but still.

BC Needs to Stay hot from the 3 Ball Line
Those rims sound like they loosened the bolts.
Just think, we get really hot and win 4 in the ACC Tourney and get a #62 seed or 16, we win 6 and Conrad becomes a Saint?
Could happen?
IF BC becomes the first ACC program to win four games in four games, that’s good for at least a 13 seed.
Editor, BC Interruption
One of our better halves of the season easy. Good team defense. Some solid ball movement. People finishing most of their good looks inside after struggles early.
SO TERRIBLE
