Exactly it would have been much cleaner to do it then. I was 75% sure that would be the result. Goes to show you the tail is wagging the dog. The admin appears to be too swayed by the blind former players that kneel at his altar.

admin has their collective head so far up their azz they can't see light. they are how far behind bc in every ranking? they can cash a paycheck, that's about it (and brownie can show up at dc with a handful of tickets too).

If it makes anyone feel better, we are not the only ones with behavior problems.... Anyone checked out the ND thread?

Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

really? please share that story

What I was told off the record from a BU official was that ESPN was very unhappy at the number of times fruck was audibly heard over the airwaves during the UNO NCAA game that they threatened to pull the BC game off the air if nothing was done. So when all students boarded the buses to Worcester that morning, every student received a letter signed by the President explicitly stating there could be no swearing or you'd be immediately thrown out. Even the DCU Center rent-a-cops were looking out for it in the BU sections and did throw out some people. And from that, the swearing ban was born.

well, that swearing was brought about because "the song" was removed from the pep bands playlist midseason in 2001. so you are behind 5+ yrs in your review of bu history.

That's it! We don't need to talk about if we need a coaching change.... We just need to bring back "The Song"!

it was THE song before every power play.

now it is played when they come out before the 2nd period (which took a long time to reappear as a stick thrown out by the powers that be. couple years), and rarely before a pp late in the game when the band feels bu needs something (i guess).

maybe it was the first home game following winter break, but all of a sudden the band started playing that thing they do now. sec 8 would refuse to participate. they would chant "play.the.song." they would turn around when the band played their new song, then turn around and clap and do it themselves. band leader would look at them and shrug his shoulders, there was nothing he could do. people would come across and yell at the band. rather amusing.

So who are we going to see in goal tomorrow night? Seems like it would make sense to give Maguire the start, so he can experience some element of playing in the Beanpot. Sure, the pressure is gone, and you play most of the game in front of a very small crowd. But still, why not? With the postponed Friday game, it seems Parker would be going out of his way to not give Maguire the start if he put O'Connor in again.

Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

According to the Freep we are shuffling things up... Rodrigues will be on the point for the power play, Megan to the first line and Nieto to second line...
