Yes we are! We have a great deal of respect for all our Big Ten friends. But come NCAA tournament play we stick with our ACC allies.
Are you friends w/MSU?? Go green! #spartanswill
Why do the Red Sox suck?
Because baseball is a game of inches. Because draft picks. Because pitching. Baseball giveth, and baseball taketh away. Don’t worry, they’ll rock this town again.
Best character on Mad Men?
Joan Harris’s rise from secretarial pool to starting her own production company, and the struggle that kind of rise took for a woman in the 60’s, makes for a really compelling storyline. Don Draper is interesting, of course, but also… who really relates to someone who literally invented an entire past? Everyone carries around secrets and lies, but to that degree? He was always too far from upstanding for this wall to relate to.
What’s your favorite rock album? I think I already know…
Dark Side of the Moon
E3 predictions this week? Reply 1: HALO Infinite my fellow Eagle Reply 2: Holy crap did you guys see that trailer? “No, we need to fight!” OOOOOOH!!
Get a recap of all the major announcements and news here: http://bit.ly/E3forBC
Dear Wall, How do you feel about your portrayal in Pink Floyd’s famous album?
Comfortably numb. But seriously, it’s not about me; it’s distant family member. I’d rather work toward uniting people than isolating them.
Anything fun on campus over the summer? I’ve been wandering around the campus but nothing fun happened…
It is a lot quieter in summer, but there are still things going on. Check out bit.ly/BCEventCal, look for flyers in the O’Neill Atrium, maybe visit the McMullen Museum? It’s also a great time to get off campus and take in all that Boston has to offer.
Who will win the 2019 World Series?
I happen to be acquainted with a game theorist. He applies game theory to football pools and wins big every year. Few pools allow him, because word has gotten around that with him in the pool, nobody else stands a chance. But he never bets on baseball.There are too many variables: too many games, too many potential pitcher-batter match-ups, winds & humidity that affect home run potential, minor injuries… I mean, a hangnail can kill a pitcher’s ERA! There’s just no way to tell, which is why baseball is the best sport: just as in life, you never know what will happen. Go, Sox! (In the meantime, check out The fix is in: A history of baseball gambling and game fixing scandals, by Daniel Ginsburg. O’Neill Library GV863.A1 G58 1995.)
Remember when Tip O’Neill was in Cheers?
YES, I know of it. It’s a little before my time (I was built in 1987) but some of my library helpers recall that episode fondly. For those who are curious: bit.ly/tip-cheers.
Why is Dave Gettleman so bad at his job
Is he though? It might be too early to say. You don’t know how these young players will shape up: maybe he sees something in them we don’t. Then again, maybe he blew it. I think we’ll all know by October.
Can Rockets win in 7
![Can Rockets win in 7 [response: :( PLEASE]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/aw050919-16.jpg)
They’ve got two games & have to win both. We’ll know tonight or Sunday. I’m nervous, but rooting for you & the Rockets!
Thoughts on Endgame
I am a wall between the viewing public and spoilers. I’ve heard it’s worth seeing. That is all.
Who is Gekyume
It’s all a little confusing, but the story seems to be that the rapper XXXTentacion invented the word before he was shot & killed last summer. Jenesis Sanchez had a baby early this year she claims is his (and is willing to get a DNA test to prove it), and named him Gekyume.
Thoughts on Jack Johnson? P.S. Do you like Poblano Peppers?
The boxer or the singer? I don’t eat, which is part of how I keep my slim profile, so I don’t really have an opinion about poblanos. Lots of people like them, though.
Who’s winning the Champions League???
At this point there are two very strong candidates: Ajax and Barcelona. Ajax is playing remarkably well right now. However, I think Barcelona will win it.
Is there another area for popular books other than this floor and the first floor? I’m having a hard time finding books to read for fun.
You can recommend titles Pop.Reading@bc.edu or request books by Interlibrary Loan bit.ly/ILLatBC. We have books that might be considered enjoyable/recreational reading throughout the collection. Literature is on Level 4 in the P call numbers. Non fiction is everywhere – ask at the Reference Desk for suggestions in areas that interest you. And don’t forget we have popular eBooks and audiobooks through Overdrive (bc.overdrive.com). Happy reading!

As a Wall with limited gastronomical variety (I only eat post-its), appetizing pictures of food aren’t a big interest for me, but I suspect many of my assistants & viewers would enjoy tantalizing themselves with pictures of delicious meals & desserts & clicking through to the restaurants where they can eat them.
Is it true Steph Curry had the best offensive season of all time a few years back?
Defining the “best offensive season of all time” is one of those types of debates for which there will never the a single answer (like Bron vs. Jordan). BUT Curry’s 2015-2016 MVP season was dominant in pretty much every aspect. If you want to read more about some of the all-time stats he beat during that season, check out bit.ly/CurryMVPSeason
Last night, I went to the BSO where Daniil Trifonov played Bach 3. Is it just me or was he making out with the piano?
I work nights, so I didn’t see the performance, but I’d definitely say there’s something to that based on this one: bit.ly/bc-trifonov
Dame or Russ?
I mean…one clutch (and I do mean C.L.U.T.C.H.) shot doesn’t equal averaging a triple double over the course of the season. Russ is a great player, and will only get better. It’s worth noting that I agree with Kerr that Westbrook’s “next question” is a kind of BS way to treat the media in a business where you’re paid to entertain (queue old man shaking fist image). And Lillard is def a more sympathetic person in this story. So: Who’s the better player? Russ no doubt. Who am I stoked for winning this round? Dame for sure.
