They could still lose to Northeastern or Harvard. That would have to be worse.

Man, that would be the ultimate. LOL. Miami is like Charlie Brown kicking the football. Good times...

This will never, ever get old:

How great was this?

Where were you and how did you react?

Me?

I was in DC and I just slumped into my seat and asked somebody next to me if that "really just happened?".

Not sure if I'd prefer the cakewalk number BC did over Wisco over this.

I'll certainly never forget this...

I was in my living room in Northern California texting my daughter in Oregon that it had been a great season and we can learn from losses...then all hell broke loose!

Anybody know more about the "scheduling oversight" that forced BU to drop out of the GLI?

Colorado College is replacing the Terriers....

From my understanding, it was not an oversight at all. The decision to go to the Shillelagh instead of the GLI was made about halfway through last season, at the latest. That's interesting that CC is replacing BU because originally the plan was simply for BU and BC to swap years (BC this year, BU next year). I also found it interesting that the schedules for Michigan and Michigan Tech still listed BU in the GLI. If a bunch of BU people have known about the swap for +/- 6 months, I would've assumed they did too.

Thanks. Makes perfect sense.

2010-2011 schedule has been released. http://www.goterriers.com/sports/m-h...062410aaa.html

In addition to the season-opening exhibition vs. Univ. of Toronto, there is an exhibition game on Wednesday, Nov. 3, against the Swedish U-20 team. For Nieto and Clendening, that should be a reunion with many of the players they faced in World U18 championships this past Spring. Adam Larsson, who edged out Clendening for top defenseman, is at the top of many 2011 draft rankings. The motive for this exhibition game seems obvious.

Rogie beat me to it, but a brief writeup's been posted to the blog, and you can view the schedule there, as well.

Re: Boston University Offseason Thread 2: Moving Forward by Booting Forwards

From 12/11-2/11, we have road trips to RPI, Chicago, UVM, Merrimack, UNH, Maine and UMass. That's a lot of mileage in 2 months.

Obviously it's a lackluster home schedule in terms of OOC games, but like I said before, you can't get North Dakota, Michigan St, Michigan and/or Notre Dame every year. I'm actually pretty excited for the game against the Sweden U20 team. Lots of talent, first-round picks, etc. on that team.

I know, I'm just a little bitter that they also chose to raise ticket prices this year for this crock of **** home schedule. I don't expect WCHA or CCHA powerhouses each year, but something better than two of the three worst teams in the ECAC would be nice, especially if they're trying to justify a ticket price raise.

If Clendening, Nieto and Coyle turn out as advertised will it make any difference?

Re: Boston University Offseason Thread 2: Moving Forward by Booting Forwards

two of the three worst teams in the ECAC

But on paper, Harvard is.....oh well.
Let's just hope BU doesn't make Conor Morrison look like the next Great One again.

Re the 2011-12 season, Mike Lynch announced at the alumni event in NYC that Red Hot Hockey 3 is set for MSG. I guess we're not going to see the Big Red at Agganis or have BU trek up to Lynah.

I would love to go to that game. But it's on a Wednesday. Seriously? They didn't have a single Saturday free??
