C'mon Carmine......"NU Dogpound" is a contradiction in terms. You should know by now that the Dog Pound is associated with some nondescript place on lower Comm. Ave. while the Dog House is associated with a fine institution on Huntington Ave., in the cultural heart of Boston. Never confuse one with the other.

No one cares

Are the fanboys gonna stay and cheer on NU? That is, if they even show up for the consolation game...

At 43, I'm not a fanboy, but for kicks, I'll let you know that I am attending, since I was invited by a former work colleague with some nice seats. Despite my frustrations with BU, I'll be attending most of the consolation game. How long I stay at the final will likely depend on how close it is. Or if NU is winning, I may stay just to see the NU fans finally exercise the demon.

"Exercise the demon" sounds like a euphemism for something else...

I'm pretty sure that ,if this is the scenario, you'll be staying to see BC lose rather than NU fans exorcising any demons, just sayin............not that i'd blame you

while bc hasn't lost a lot, i can recall seeing them lose (like he semi finals in 2009).

Gee whiz! the guy is trying to make a conciliatory gesture (even if it is misspelled) and you have to short circuit it and tell us what he really meant. OK, He was trying to be tactful. He really meant to a "A pox on your birds".

ya know what? i was thinking about this last night and wondered what would i think if i were in that situation but it's hard from this seat since I witnessed our rival kick our arses for 30 years until the tide started to turn . You got to witness being being on the other side , like beating BC a gazillion times in the 'pot and just about everywhere else . So, to me, Y'all can't lose enough for my taste and we still have 15 more years (hopefully) of catching up to do. Not sure if this makes sense and i have not had my first Sierra yet

I think that even putting rivalries aside, people without a dog in the fight will cheer for the underdog / cinderella story type.... so pretty much everyone who is not a direct BC fan will be cheering for Northeastern.... add in the rivalries, well, all the more reason to cheer for Northeastern.

Just like when BU had won several in a row, you had 2/3+ of the arena cheering for anyone who was not BU.


By the way... its a snowstorm... no harm in cracking that first Sierra early...

Re: The Beanpot 2013 It's Anyone's Game!

I am happy for BC to be bringing in 7 sections +/- whatever to the 'Pot.. i know NU has had several sections in recent years & even this year had quite a few turn up & more will turn up Monday..

can you just imagine.. not having won in 25 years.. just imagine if we had won..
well.. were winning consistently.. how many fans we'd bring.. with several National Titles, Hockey East titles.. Beanpot titles.. 7 sections?.. heck they'd have overflow viewing on giant screens at Matthews..

c'mon dogs.. win one Monday.. c'mon BC you'll feel our joy!

drive safe, everyone.
