        They don't correlate. The statement in the original post simply said that the same standard of excellence that has propelled the academic side of the university to national prominence should also be applied to (at least) the two marquee intercollegiate athletic programs. Shouldn't be so hard to understand.

          I can't believe this poster is actually arguing with NU fans who say the school should try to improve the hockey program and he counters by saying just keep being mediocre it's what NU does. I know this forum is a breeding ground for absurd comments, but this is off the wall even by those standards.
          Thank you!!

            If this team does not want to end up in the bottom 3 or 4 this season, they REALLY need the two points on Friday. With all the teams around them in the standings having 3-4 games in hand, its going to be tough to move up in the standings.

            Outside of never winning the Beanpot, it always forces this team to play so many more conference games before everyone else, and puts them behind the 8-ball standings wise if they get off to a start like they did this year.

              I would have said who did they pick in the 6th round. Lets not kid ourselves, if Brady wasn't here Bill would have been fired 3X over by now.

                Bill's Patriots went 11-5 in a full year with Cassel, a QB who has a .411 winning percentage in his starts with other teams. I think the coach has this football thing pretty well figured out.

                  Belichick without Brady. 1991, hired by Cleveland and fired in 1995. Won 36 lost 44. Tom Brady is the best QB ever!

                      Interesting. I thought DRoy would play tomorrow in the non-league game, not tonight when there are standings points on the table. Should we be reading something into this?

                        Nuts!
                        Fennell is out and Kevin Shea is in (at referree). that usually means ticky-tack penalty calls!

                          Most complete game of the year. Derick stood on his head and has shown to be a solid Hockey East goalie this year. Solid games from McMurtry, Roy, ZAR, and JStevens I thought. PK got the job done for the most part- that one PPG was a bomb. 2 big points earned tonight, earned every inch of the ice. Clearly the better team tonight. Time to keep building on success.

                            This was far and away the best perfomance by the team to date this season and (2) well deserved points. I saw the stream and listened on WRCA. BC was beating BU tonight over at the Agganis on Com Ave. So clearly, we may be the team nobody wants to play. That said, we will nearly need to run the table the next 6 weeks to move up in the Pairwise enough to get any consideration but in the meantime, we should enjoy the best hockey we have seen from these Huskies in some time. Nice job boys!
