I don't know what reminded me of this. Remember incoming freshman CROSS77, hailing from Nebraska, posting in this thread over on Crossports asking for advice about staying on campus or traveling to Georgetown his first weekend at college?
"We Are Crusaders" wants to know the outcome! Did you stay on campus, or did you visit your friends down in D.C.? I didn't chime in on that thread, but I thought he should stay at Holy Cross. I have great memories of my first days on the hill, and I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else.
Incidentally, we're also curious about the "77" part of his posting name, because it's pretty confusing given all the names like HC62, Sader81, sader1970 and sader1998. Number implies grad year, for the most part. Sometimes it's year of birth, but he wasn't born in 1977. Maybe it's a uniform number?

Jon,
I don't know whether or not he went to Georgetown, but I do know where the 77 comes from.
During a basketball game last winter, he joined in the chat room and I asked. He has roots in the area, living in Mass before the family moved to Nebraska. He was/is a Ray Bourque fan and the 77 is in tribute to the former Bruins defenseman.
BTW - It's down the page a bit now, so you may have missed it, but I commented on your initial 9/11 post. Well done.
One month to Hart Hysteria!!
Thanks for the info, CHC (or should I say Bob). And Bourque changed his number to 77 about halfway though his career, right? Was he #7 before that? Nice tribute by CROSS77.
Yes, I saw your earlier comment on my first 9/11 post, but didn't get to reply to it. Thanks for your words. I agree that we have to keep the spouses, parents, and children in mind.
