Re: PC hockey offseason and TOURNAMENT MODE!

agreed and I doubt they are happy. But I cant see how MC can be having a ticker tape parade when they have never done well since they moved to D 1 many, many years ago. I doubt they want to hang their hat on winning at the D 2 level or winning the season series with Salem State or UML when they were D 2 also. Its safe to say since they both made the move, UML has had much more success and bragging rights over their old rival MC.

All of this could not be further from the point. Things need to start moving in a direction where people are getting energized about PC hockey. This school isn't going to wake up tomorrow and be BC athletically or academically. It needs to embrace what it is instead of striving so hard to be what it's not.

It starts with these season ticket plans (14 games including exhibition v. USNDPT). Do people even know they exist? They are ridiculously cheap. Smart move by the Athletic Department. You can have a family four-pack season ticket at PC for what it cost a family to go to a single game at Michigan State or some other schools, or, take a family of four to dinner and a movie . . . once.

Season Tickets can be purchased here:

Adult: $114

The Family Plan (2 adults/2kids): $150

Youth/Seniors: $85

Hockey East Power Packs: See FIVE Hockey East games for only $30! Power Packs will be going on sale on September 24, 2010.

They are equal to or better than bc in academics

I agree with all of your points

The cancer fans need to get lost

The few on here who are only happy if it is toxic and 100 pct negative should move on, everyone gets it and have heard it 4 or 500 times

Laughable to watch them get angry if someone is positive

New season and to have 2 or 3 cancers hold their breath and can't wait for a loss so they can come on and spew venom is a testament them

Thanks for reminding me: THE 100th loss extravaganza is coming soon!

[/QUOTE]

Laughable is you trying to pass yourself of as 1. positive and 2. a PC fan

1. You post smart *** remarks in the numerous negative reps that you send posters (like the one you sent to me this week). In this negative reps, you say things to me and others that you would NEVER have the stones to say to my face. You hide behind a computer to toss bombs, which makes you a troll in addition to being a coward.

2. You said yourself in previous posts that you are not a PC fan yet you think that you can dictate what is written on this thread.

Laughable but the joke is YOU!!!!

LOL.

Please show me ONE publication that shows Providence to be on the same level or above Boston College in academics. Congrats, CandyVan, you have eclipsed your previous "dumbest statement ever" plateau with this one...

PC is a good school and is probably third in academics in HE after BC and BU, but you are making yourself sound foolish as usual.

You think BU also?

Ok. Dont let acceptance rates blind your view. Every kid applying to enjoy the experience does not equate to a better education.

Dont tell me, tell it to the firms doing on campus recruiting and hiring.

Umm, you do realize you are reading this wrong, right? BC is ranked # 31 nationally according to USNWR. PC is ranked # 2 in the "Regional" category.

Here's the actual list:

(Unless you think that PC is #2 nationally and BC is # 31 nationally). If so....wait for it....LOLOLOLOL

Re: PC hockey offseason and TOURNAMENT MODE!

I dont think an argument about academics is really relevant to this board so someone should just squash it here...

It's an old cliche that an education at a school is what you make of it but I believe it has a lot of truth behind it. I'm a Merrimack grad no where near the level of PC, BC, or BU on paper. However, my average class size throughout my 4 years was somewhere around 12. I'm a 1L in law school now and it amazes me how some of the people from the premier schools of the country including harvard just don't get it. It is difficult to teach analytical skills in large class sizes some 100 kids or more.

So yes, the rankings may hold BC and BU far above PC, and kids from those schools can certainly boast about the name of the college on their degree, but when it comes down to the caliber of students they produce it's all in what that student put in.

You're 100% right about students and what they make of their degrees.

The argument here, though, was Hokydad's "fact" that Providence had better academics than Boston College as an institution, not which school's students work harder to succeed, etc after graduation. As usual, he's wrong.
