At sporting events, fans will come to expect some loud fans shouting "Go B.I.T.C.H. Go!" or "Stop 'Em B.I.T.C.H."

The problem with this thoughtful idea is that this part I quoted is something that brings you right back to square one. If BC fans were to "swear" like this at games, which is something that BU fans are widely known for (ironically something that does set them apart!), the two schools are back to being difficult to differentiate between in your world (considering they already do have different names). As a former roomate of mine once said, "you just walked a mile to eat crap."

Nice effort though.

UNH was 1-1 there last year. The first game was pretty bad (8-3 loss), but Foster posted a shutout a few weeks later. We've seen some bad losses there, and I think those stick out in our heads, but I don't think the Tsongas has been as bad as, say, Matthews from 2000-2003 or Alfond until a couple of years ago. I would not be surprised if UNH's record at Tsongas was around .500 (if not better).

I think the bigger problem for UNH is that Lowell is better than last year (at the very least, "as good as"), while UNH is worse.

I know this doesn't have anything to do with BC/UNH, but since you did mention it …

You're pretty much right. UNH has had some bad losses at home, I personally loved the 7-0 and 8-3 wins by Lowell , but overall UNH is 8-4-4 at Tsongas since the 98/99 season. I couldn't find the 97/98 season, if UNH played at Tsongas after it opened.

The first 6 years, UNH just dominated, 5-0-3 at Lowell, 29 GF, 23 GA. But Lowell's been better the last 5 years (since 04/05), with a 4-3-1 record and a 29-21 GF/GA.

I'm hoping that UNH will see what other teams have so far this year, an actual home-ice advantage for Lowell.

UNH was blanked 3-0 in their only appearance at the Tsongas at the end of the regular season that year, part of their 6 out of 7 losses stretch before the NCAA's... Nolan was flattened from behind by some goon and taken to the hospital (no penalty on the play) in the middle of that game...

It was still (unusually) funny for a change...

I've seen few things as funny as last year at BC when the students had all of the 'positive' signs up early on. It was simply hilarious (and I hear a lot of cursing behind me from the students when I'm standing on the landing at Conte, always have... though no more than any other school (that actually has good fan turnout) and far less than UMass/UVM and UNH

This brings up the further interesting point of confusion amongst many folks around the nation who tend to confuse Boston College (BC) with Boston University (BU). Their names are a bit similar, they're located in roughly the same area.

I propose that BC, since it actually isn't a college at all, but indeed a university (colleges are simply a part of a much larger university's system...such as a College of Liberal Arts, College of Arts & Letters, etc.) that BC should change its name to something more accurate. I think They should be re-named the Boston Institute of Technology, Commerce, and Humanities. Of course, all of the B.I.T.C.H. students will be expected to uphold the highest B.I.T.C.H standards that have already been set by current BC students, and will also be expected to grow the level of B.I.T.C.H-iness that their forefathers set before them. At sporting events, fans will come to expect some loud fans shouting "Go B.I.T.C.H. Go!" or "Stop 'Em B.I.T.C.H." Imagine a Saturday night, Conte Forum full of some 5,000 or so B.I.T.C.H. fans, and the B.I.T.C.H. band plays the B.I.T.C.H. fight song (which will remain unchanged since it's so ingrained into, and expressive of, the B.I.T.C.H culture)

In conclusion, BC fans should unite and stand behind a school that more accurately describes what they stand for, what they believe in, and most of all...what they do best. B.I.T.C.H.

speaking of acting like a B.I.T.C.H at a hockey game

Goon? Couldn't be a Lowell player then.

Thanks Gibber. That catches up UNH's record at Lowell then ... UNH is 8-5-4 at Tsongas all time, 50 GF, 49 GA.

'then' it absolutly could be, they were pretty bad then, and worse the following year, as I've recounted on many occasions on here, specific stories from players themselves
not so much now though, they can actually play hockey
