Robertson Memorial floor pieces

Didn't get one either But...I have contacts downtown, and can score you a piece of ice from under our current floor if you are interested

Thanks Cubbiebear but I can't skate. On another subject. Who's going to be our new manager.

I seen lots of people w/ them shortly after the 2nd half started and told my wife I was going to get one at that time and she said take only 1 so others could get some. When I was going down the steps I seen an older couple carrying a huge arm full out the door & could barely hold them (may have taking them for family members but that isn't even an excuse-no one should have taken more then 1 piece per person). I ended up w/ 2 slats not 2 pieces (hardly any full pieces left) and that was less then 5 minutes into the 2nd half.
It's unfortunate that some people are so self centered that they have to hog lots of pieces and keep others from getting any but BU should have had someone watching it.

My son had to go home at halftime, so I got two pieces then. But clearly it wasnt being monitored, and I don't blame others for being upset.

How many are on EBAY today?

Should have had workers handing them out, or standing guard, instead of just having them sitting there.

And the true irony is that I would wager most if all of those students weren't even around when the Fieldhouse was!

Oh well, they pandered to the students.. and that is all..

P.S. JD- were you getting a piece of the floor that you once dusted? LOL

And never knew the 1981-82 team. That is why IMO this great team should have been honored at Carver instead of a game pandering to the students.

I would laugh out loud if somebody would spot these on Ebay, run up the prices, and then not pay!

There were several members of the team and Versace who could not make it last night. Would it be a bad idea to honor them a second time later this season? Maybe the ISU game?

Exactly what I thought. The ticket-scanners could have easily watched them while the game was going on.

Funny thing is.... they have been trying to sell those floor pieces for over a year with not much luck. Anyone could have called and asked to buy for $10 and had their pick from thousands of pieces. They finally tried to unload the semi full last night for free and now everyone is whining that they didnt get their "piece of history". If it meant that much why didnt you buy at the events last year when they had them for sale? They did huge pieces at the auction that look great. Ive got a nice table but I bought my pieces at a game last year. Think I paid $10 for 6 pieces. Cant blame them for wanting to unload it all thinking that no one would want them.

Bald e the wood isn't all of what people wanted -- they wanted a memento of the actual game and event --
the acts of a few to hoard several thousand pieces that were meant for the exiting fans is shameful even if those pieces could have been had elsewhere

So who on the board is going to man up and confess to grabbing an armful? You know some posters are guilty. You could be a hero, admit you did it and deliver some of your extras to the guys on here who didn't get any...

I said in an earlier post, that anyone could have purchased one over the past year. That is not what has people angered.

What angers people is that people basically committed theft last night. People were told that fans would be able to get a piece of the floor AFTER the game.

Unfortunately, you had people ignore the posted signs and take 5 or 10 pieces.

How many of those are now or will be soon, in the garbage?

From what I have seen in different situations, once a product is mentioned as being free, people start to do strange things.

I called and tried to buy one last year and was told they weren't selling them at that time.
