Tonight the BC Club of Atlanta hosted a cocktail party with Matt Ryan and Gene DeFilippo. Thanks to the Alumni office for coordinating the details and our local chapter president Kyla Perfetuo. Big congrats to BC Mike for being the driving force behind the event and for giving Gene a very nice intro...

Four chapters into my novel (!), which I’ll blog more about once I’m finished the 75,000-word draft, I thought I’d take a break and point you to a column by the fabulous Star Parker (love her!). All Star Parker’s op-eds are worth reading, especially the latest, alternatively ...

Tyrese Rice made the ACC's second team. Congratulations to him. But what are we, the close observers, to make of it? He was first team ACC last year. Did he take a step back? Did he have to subjugate himself in order for the team to advance? Rice proclaimed that he returned for his final season at B...

The Vancouver Province's Michael Smyth has revealed some fascinating insights into the Liberal government's concept of participatory government, having waded through the highlights of some of the 8,000 pages of secret documents that have been revealed in the wake of the BC Rail corruption trial. Sec...

Last time around against NC State, BC got up early and held on. This time around the Pack blew past BC's early lead. Then BC chipped away in the second half but the Pack answered and, in my opinion, made the smarter moves in the final minutes to hold on. Leave your thoughts below. Likes -- Sanders g...

Spaz is a first-time head coach, but he is a very familiar name to BC fans. Having called the defenses for 10 years, I thought the offseason would be a good time to look back at some of his best and worst moments. Hopefully he’s learned from these events and will use that knowledge this season now...

The Florida State win took most of the pressure off this game. That is not a good thing. I am worried about another half-hearted effort on the road Saturday night. While we don't need a win, a focused, solid effort would show this team is ready to make noise in March. Saturday will serve as a barome...

Given Rafe Mair led three different Ministries in the Socred party from which the current B.C. Liberal Party originated, it is tempting to say "wow", but really this is no surprise to me (and I do not mean that in a pejorative sense): Ex-Socred cabinet minister Rafe Mair declares that he w...

I check my stats often via sitemeter.  I have an average of 14 people per day hit my site.  Clearly most of them don't read what I have to say but some do.  I often wonder if it's because they're my friends - thank you Erin, Connie & Nicki.  Or if it's peo...

Despite the ups and downs of the long hockey season, I think we've all taken it as a given that BC will make the NCAAs and then make a run at just the right time. That might not be the case this year. After a rough weekend against UNH the team will probably need a perfect finish and a deep run in th...
