Welcome home E.J.

Safe to say, I doubt we’ll lost many more sons of ex-players to the dark side…thank you CRN.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

Ditto

Eric Turner was special. How great to have his kid follow.

Tasser, you are so right — with CBH and CRN we will not lose Bruin legacies to other schools.

Apparently EJ is joining the team in the fall as a walk-on

Eric Turner

One of my favorite Bruins of all time. I still believe the final score would have been different if he was in the last Bruin defense series of their last football game in 1990.
