    what was the degree of certainty when they inaccurately (and unnecessarily) reported that Gill had a girlfriend?

    i think its sad that they deleted their run of coyle articles that attempted to convince people he was staying. their 'go down with the ship' mentality to stick with their original unsubstantiated story when every other real news source was saying the opposite was admirable. now all that is left on their site is the truth that was first reported by everyone else... they must have learned that maneuver from shoplifting scott m

      What if Jack Parker never wants to retire and wants to do a Joe Paterno type thing where he will not retire and only leave either when dies or is fired?

        If that's what he wants to do, I think that's what will happen. Barring a scandal, I don't see them firing him.

          I hope that's the case. I want him to coach forever!

              Obviously you don't read our blog. Thank you for your uninformed opinion though. It gave me a good laugh this morning.

                When the FreeP talks to a player, they obviously have to identify themselves as reporters from the FreeP. When this kid talks to who ever his sources are, he does not have to bear the same burden of responsibility. It's considerably easier to get information from a source inside the team when the source knows whatever he/she says won't end up on the front page of a newspaper. That's the difference.

                  I'll give you the fact that the kid seems to have his stuff together in this case and ultimately got the Coyle story right, but remember that when he broke the story it was "RUMOR- Coyle gone at BU"

                    I read that Freep blog and its like the Iraqi Info Ministry. Anyone who writes there is NOT a journalist, they are PUBLIC RELATIONS employees. To be a real journalist, you need to be IMPARTIAL and not fans writing about their favorite teams. The quality on that blog is the same as this message board.

                    For those who are incredulous that an athlete would lie to them, I would remind you that you have a lot to learn about journalism if that surprised you. Then again, if you were really as smart as you think, you would have gone to a better school.

                        Jesus, you guys sure are upset that you got your butts handed to you by a 14 year old kid who reported this stuff in between doing his long division homework.

                        This is hilarious.

I can't imagine him ever making anyone even feel uncomfortable when he's sober.There are plenty of players in my time covering the team who have looked at me differently or flirted with me or the like. Trivino has never been one of those players. Even outside of the rink, he'll say hi and is plenty of friendly, but has never been even close to saying or doing anything inappropriate.

                          BU is one of the best schools in the country for communication degrees(I'm not in COM obviously so I think I can comment unbiased) and the Freep blog is very impartial for a student-run paper/ blog. It wasn't a surprise that Coyle lied to them. I believe all they said was this is his comment and directly quoted it. There is no way to put a bias on a direct quote. He lied to them, it happens. Just because a player lies to them, doesn't give everyone the right to discredit all the work they have done so far this season. The Freep tries to confirm all the stories they run before posting while this kid posts the rumor before confirming. He is going to get the story out first since he apparently has a source in BU hockey.

Have you ever WORKED in your life with anybody besides yourself? If I left my team at work right now they would be devastated and would have to replace me (or so not to sound so "self-centered," if ANYBODY left out team...). Yes, they would have to "deal with it," but there are always ramifications when someone leaves something they have made a commitment to.
                            Yikes. Talk about misplaced anger. The analogy was a student leaving an educational program half way through the school year. If you equate that to leaving a team, that's your opinion, but I don't see it as the same thing.

                              Give the Beagle posters credit for getting this tread totally off topic.

                              Isn't the issue that 3 Terrier hockey players are not returning to the team after Christmas?

                              How this came to be and how BU Hockey leadership contributed or didn't contribute to this catastophy for the program is what I'd prefer to be reading about on this thread.
