bueller: Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good? Why does Positrack work? Why does Ferris lose on the road and play dead at home?
It just happens.
nmupiccdiva: I'm sorry I missed you this weekend! I thought I saw you at the football game, but I didn't want to go up to a complete stranger and ask "are you Monster?" and have it not be you!

Originally posted by claver2010 View PostI can only speak for BC because that's what I know for sure but BC would never do the Friday hockey, Saturday football, Saturday hockey bit for several reasons:
2) The campus just isn't big enough to clear people off for football and get them on for hockey. .

Originally posted by Rhett View PostThe fact that the football stadium & hockey/hoops arena are literally connected, with a large number of fans entiring Alumni Stadium from Conte's concourse is a particular problem, I'm sure.
That was the format of the old Notre Dame series, correct? A one-off hockey game on the eve of the football game.

Originally posted by LynahFan View PostWell, if PSU's pockets are as deep as they seem to be, and if they really get the fan/alumni support that they seem to be projecting, they could certainly make it worth other teams' while to travel to State College. I'm not sure I really buy the recruiting angle, though - it's 2.5 hours away from Pittsburgh and 3:45 from Philadelphia. That would be about like scheduling a game at WMU to try to tap into the Detroit recruits.
And Terrie520: Princeton is not the closest school. RMU (Pittsburgh), Mercyhurst (Erie), Niagara and Canisius (Buffalo), RIT (Rochester), and Cornell (Ithaca) are all closer to State College than Princeton is.Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.
dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.

Re: Boston schools eager to schedule Penn State?
Originally posted by Rhett View PostWhy wouldn't you? They try to not schedule against each other in terms of time of day, but I know for a fact that BC, Notre Dame, and Michigan have had home weekends in both hockey and football and I'd imagine the rest of the FBS teams have as well. A lot of people who travel for road series try to squeeze in another sporting event on the weekend and a Saturday afternoon football game between a Friday and Saturday night hockey games is one of the first things we look for.
BTW Rhett - I'm not lobbying against it, I'm simply stating my personal opinion. Traffic on football weekends can be a mess as it is - I don't think hockey fans will want to have to deal with it.
Originally posted by boblav1 View PostLowell was out at Michigan State a couple of seasons ago and the hockey games were scheduled for Thursday & Friday night. They had a home football game Saturday and I believe they had their Midnight Madness for basketball on that Friday night.Last edited by SteveP; 02-17-2011, 07:58 PM.Growing old is mandatory -- growing up is optional!

Originally posted by SteveP View PostThe arena is going to be literally across the street from Beaver Stadium and the Jordan Center. The football and Jordan Center parking lots will likely be the lots used for the arena -- 100K tailgating on a Saturday won't leave a lot of room for hockey fans.

that'll be the beauty of it. go to beaver in the afternoon. head back to your trailer to drink some, drop a turkey in the deep fryer.... then head over to the rink.
as all us bu'ers were typing. we went to the michigan-minnesota game for noon. the boy and i walked over to the one main street up from yost and ate dinner, then we walked back to the rink and saw bu get their butts whipped.
great fun!!
going in for the foozball game i parked in a yard across from yost. told the kid i was staying for the night game, he had me park in the back of the yard. when we left we were the only car left. easy out!!a legend and an out of work bum look a lot alike, daddy.

Re: Boston schools eager to schedule Penn State?
There is one Boston-area school that I'm sure will be scheduling PSU.

A noon football game and a 7:30 hockey game might work, but with TV, you often don't know the time of the football game more than a couple weeks out.Penn State: Annoying everyone in college hockey since September 17, 2010.
