It could be worse: you could be a triple BC; BC High, BC and BC Law, totally lost to all rational thought and up to two quarts a day.
:O)

I remember seeing Flutie in a high school super bowl game. One of the best pure athletes I ever saw.

Ah- I think you might be a bit resentful of BC alum influence in the New England region? Just a little? Let me guess? Holy Cross alum? Brandeis? Tufts? Or maybe a Hahhvarrd grad weeping for the lost power and glory?

...although his brother Daryn (sp?) has always been said to be a much better overall athelete, even by Flutie himself. Met Flutie a few times. Class act. They still tell the story in my hometown of the infamous HS game where Flutie destroyed us so badly (in a nasty storm, too) that they sent all the Natick starters home on a bus at 1/2time and put in the JVs. And, of course, there's the "Flutie Tree" in Natick which all Natick HS players...er, hug, or something, can't remember...before a game.

PS- Flutie played for Natick. My hometown team beat Natick after they had won two straight seasons undefeated and we had not had a winning season in years. There was a massive fight that night at the field between Wellesely and Natick kids. This was at least 5 or six years after Doug flutie had graduated- but I think Darren Flutie was on the team.
