Thumbs Up
Hillary Clinton - Just when she seemed to be down for the count, Clinton rallies with major wins in Texas and Ohio. With a tight race coming into the convention, superdelegates seem likely to decide the race.
Home Cookin' - A week off sent many students back to the creature comforts of home. And with Easter fast approaching, many will get a second helping.
Billy Crystal - The 60-year-old actor and director of the film 61* was signed to a one-day minor-league contract by the New York Yankees. No word yet where Miracle Max will play in the field.
Appalachia - Over 500 Boston College students took the Appalove out of the Eagle's Nest and spread out across the country to perform a variety of services for the underprivileged.
Brett Favre - Happy trails to the NFL's iron man. After rewriting the record books, winning the hearts of Wisconsin (and a Super Bowl) and dazzling in a surprise resurgence last year, Favre ended his 17-year career on a good note.
Hockey East Tickets - With home-field advantage through the tournament, BC's hockey team opens against Providence on Friday. Tickets are a mere $5 each or $10 for all three games.
St. Patrick's Day - The Catholic Church delighted college students everywhere by moving the Irish patron saint's feast day to Satuday to avoid a conflict with Holy Week. Now we just need to make a weekend St. Paddy's Day a permanent policy.
Thumbs Down
Eliot Spitzer - Oops. Something tells TU / TD that the New York governor and former go-get'em prosecutor should not have been fooling around with the country's most expensive prostitutes. At $1,000 an hour, you would have thought he would have bought more discretion.
Everyone but Tyrese Rice - The only double-digit scorer in the UNC game, Rice turned in the performance of a lifetime, scoring 23 points in the first seven minutes of the game (and prompting the announcer to exclaim "He's on pace for 109 points!"). The Eagles couldn't hold off the Heels in the second half, however, falling 90-80.
Housing Lottery - Friendships beware. With the ever-contentious eight-man lottery over, freshmen are frantically cobbling together four-, nine-, and six-person arrangements to avoid the scourge of College Road.
Wireless in the Mods - After an effective first half of the year, wireless Internet has been spotty in the Mods, sending seniors back to their bedrooms to use their laptops.
Senior Day - Senior basketball and hockey players again had a less-than-stellar send-off as senior day occurred during spring break. Athletics should consider moving ceremonies so students can say goodbye.
