BU JL Curse?

[Buesch N Chips]

Any bad luck could be tied to the continued increase in beer prices at the Civic Center.

Food is much higher

Parking is higher

Programs are now scorecards

BU basketball has turned into such a huge cash cow. It's insulting to the fans. I'll just keep sneaking in my food & drink and ignoring the programs. Bottle of water - $3. Unbelievable.

I think the curse is because Vroman hasn't released a new Band CD with Swing March on it. The only way to exorcise it is to have the bU band go to Dingeldine right away and record and release a new band CD!

BU has a geat band, as usual. Too bad they don't play that much at the games. I'd much rather listen to them play than listen to the PA announcer every timeout. The dancers are great also, but they should be on the floor at half time not during the guts of the game.

They moved all of the kid contests to halftime, and put the band and stuff during timeouts.

That's a step in the right direction. IMO, keep the band a playin and the guy with the flag a runnin. Band is quiet more than they play during timeouts but it's because they have to wait until the annoucements and all the other crowd killing nonsense is done. If they are there why is anything piped.

What Are you alright friend The more I see the dancers the better I feel

I can feel just as good at halftime with a beer in my hand and the dancers on the court. During the game keep the crowd in the game as much as possible. Gotta keep us blue hairs awake you know.

Even on BU.tv the dancers looked great.

About the cursed thing! Even though I feel bad for DD and you can't wish it on anyone this can all work in our favor. DD will have another year, with AW who other wise would not also have that year next year. I'm not saying this team cannot be really good right now but next year, especially if JW comes aboard and is as good as advertised, we'll be really deep and good in every single position, even the 5. Every single guy can come in a practically be a starter! Now if we can fix the rebounding issue and get an inside game going we this team could be special!

EM - DSE - SM
AW - DD - Jake - SM
JW - MK - AW
TB - MK - JW
WE - AT - JP

Must be an age issue! My vote is for more DANCERS!

Keep up the good work and routines ladies!

The dancers are great. But I have to agree with Chico.

They should be going during halftime or even in the first half - not at a timeout during the second half.

The band and the cheerleaders are at every game and are arguably the loudest and only continously vocal groups at the games. All the PA annoucements, advertisements, and dancing keeps them from playing and getting in front of the crowd.

Keep the crowd engaged, don't put them to sleep - FREE VROMAN!

On another note...I like that the cheerleaders make their way to the upper bowl during the fightsongs now.

My flask of Jim Beam makes it to darn near every game

Sorry Murph you did include a I humbly apologize for insinuating you had no humor!

Back to the BU bad luck curse thing HUMOR....

Perhaps it started when BU changed benches at home, away from the baseline where my season tix were, or, perhaps when BU was shafted by the NCAA over their nickname and team symbols (or when BU introduced the bobcat mascot thing)! Perhaps the start of recorded music at the CC vs the band triggered a possible curse...

Its been three years since I've been back to Peoria for a game but most liquor stores sold the miller lite plastic bottles just the same as the one the vendors sold which can be tucked nicely into a Columbia jacket pocket, just gotta get them extra cold before heading out to the game so they make it til halftime.

[Braves4Life]

Do any other posters have any inkling of the cause of a possible BU curse, and what should be done to get rid of it?

Be as creative as I know you can be!

This beats rehashing the BU Idaho St results all week!

Well, since AZ BU Fan just joined the board in August 2009 it CAN'T be him. I was going to suggest we ban HIM from the board to hopefully remove this "curse" (I'm only kidding my friend. You said you wanted creativity ).

Anyway, I think we should blame Dick Versace. If he hadn't "cheated" and been "caught" nearly 30 years ago BU would never have been cursed with this bad luck

Age has nothing to do with it. My vote is for the basketball team. That's what most of us buy season tickets for. Don't remember saying the girls don't do good work and routines. Keep up the good work ladies but not during the guts of a close game.

If that is what it takes to get BU back to where we all want it to be, so be it. I'm out of here. I'll just have to find a local ASU forum...

PS (I'll just change my name/profile and keep posting!)
