    Anything short of that is unacceptable. No way am I going to support a team lead by a man with that kind of response to the current situation, no matter how "nice of a guy" people say he is.
    Bravo to you.

    Parker just isn't that stupid generally or that naive about dealing with the media. Unless she caught him at his house at 11:30 at night and woke him up for her interview.
    I don't think I'm following this. What specific reportage are you referring to? And BTW, FL reported that this Globe interview was separate from any quotes he gave the freep.

        So then you're ok with him taking an out by saying something essentially to the effect of "college students will be college students?"

        If he said that, I just don't see a way to spin it and for that matter, why even try?

          Wasn't "legal mode" part of what made Penn State's response so lame? No comment / he doesn't even work here anymore / we aren't affiliated with that individual in any way . . . ? That's perfect "legal mode" right there, and it ****ed people off.

              I've noticed this too until Brown's e-mail came out. Can't speak for Parker but people want proactive solutions, not phrases like "isolated incident" or "can't do anything differently". We're in uncharted waters here as the hockey team's conduct has never to my knowledge been called into question, nor has the control of the coaching staff over the players.

                how does "Engineering at Lowell" get mentioned in a post about Lowell hockey players?
                I think "Good Lord, that is an ignorant statement" comes fleeting to mind.


                and yeah, it IS easier for a hockey player to pull a 3.0 at Lowell than at BU, even in the college of general studies.
                what I want to know is why it is so hard to pull anything lower than a 3.94 at Brown.
                a coupld of my siblings went there, were nowhere near the tops of their classes and one had a 3.94 and the other a 3.97
                THERE is grade inflation!

                    Maybe once they got to Brown they knew it all.

                    The fact that you BC fans revel in the superiority of your team in an admittedly weak league leads me to believe you will be more sorely disappointed when the end comes than we will.

                        You think there aren't any Lowell players majoring in Engineering? Please show me something that proves Lowell is inflating the grades of its hockey players. I do know I see 14 UML players on the 2011 HE All Academic team compared to 2 for the University of Boston. Considering BU is merely a hockey factory, wouldn't they be the ones inflating their player's GPAs?

                            I'd love to be proven wrong on this, but can you show me something that indicates there are hockey players at UMass Lowell majoring in engineering?
