Something missing at the Garden
By adamg on Sat, 03/24/2012 - 10:52am
Empty rafters.
Colin Steele shows us what the Garden looks like without banners, thanks to the NCAA, which both required the Bruins and Celtics banners be taken out for their March Madness games and put their own parquet on the floor, because God forbid college players get the chance to say they've been on the most famous floor in basketball.

Laundry Time!
They have to clean those things sometime - or even replace them once they fade.
Know who cares?
Nobody.
The Big 10 and Big East fans aren't shedding any tears over the missing local banners, the Jacobs family certainly isn't and neither are any of the fans in the various other NCAA tournament venues around the country.
Don't like it? I'm sure the NCAA can find some other arena down I-95 to host the tournament in ensuing years.
Actually I was talking to an ohio state fan
And he told me he thought it would be cool if they were able to play on the celtics parquet.
I don't think anyone is really losing any sleep over it either way and the NCAA basically pays for everything.
The NCAA can kiss my ass too
Seriously, black people make them money without getting paid money themselves. Didn't we ban that in this country?
Will, you're an idiot
First off, say that in a town with a team that qualifies for the tournament. Secondly, it may interest you to know that lots of people who aren't black play basketball for NCAA schools, though I'm not surprised that your racist ass doesn't know that. Call another Asian woman Kim Jong Il, whydoncha.
Third, the NCAA just brought a lot more business into this town than the worst trivia host in the history of Stump ever did. I'm going to take this moment right now to HIGHLY recommend the trivia over at Big City or MSO trivia at the Druid, Curley's or anywhere else over your poorly run fiasco. The $6 steak tips and $1 expired Harpoon UFOs aren't nearly enough incentive to put up with your dreck.
P.S. There's a rat in the dumpster behind the White Horse who got more signatures for his City Council petition than you did.
Really?
People of other races play college sports too? OH MY GOD I DON'T HAVE A TELEVISION AND WAS UNAWARE OF THIS
Also, who cares that the NCAA brings in business? That's not the point...RJ Reynolds brings in lot of business too. I can still trash them for their dubious morality.
Also, what do you do with your life that's so great? You love to take shots...but I don't see you posting your name or telling me your life story.
