The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

I'm not sure BC's success (or lack thereof) outside of the sport of hockey really justifies the school's expenditures on those sports.

which sport are you talking about?

having D-1 football and basketball teams turn a huge profit for the school (approx $15 to $20 million a year in alumni giving). one of the perks of the acc, is that all bowl money is pooled. so there is no financial advantage to making the BCS game, in that regard.

i doubt you are talking about the non-revenue sports because, after all, they are non-revenue. they are probably very low costs outside of small travel expenditures (no doubt BU has these same sports and performs irrelevantly in their crappy conferences, as well)

you'd probably apply to MIT or Harvard

Logically, because everyone who could get into BU could get into BC, and anyone who gets into BC is overqualified for MIT/Harvard?

Hmm, does anyone know what grey rep means? Something like I should watch out for the red chiclet fellow? HokieDokie Strikes Back?

Rep from someone with fewer than 100 posts or rep from someone in the red.

no, but for the disillusioned fanboy who believes he has a shot at BC, he might as well dream he has a shot at MIT and Harvard as well. a plus is that his anger would be then more evenly spread throughout the city and there would be less of a chance of any incident involving tears at a hockey game.

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

Wrong on both counts, maybe there are 1,2 fans wearing the white I [middle finger] BU shirts, but to pretend that that there aren't many fans who treat the sucks to BU shirts as their hockey game attire is living in denial.

I have to be completely honest, I've been to every single BC hockey game within a 50 mile radius this year with the exception of the @ Merrimack game, and I haven't seen even one of those shirts.

Yes, I know there is a tickets forum. I rarely ever look there so I figured I might help someone out. I have two tickets in the balcony to sell for face value. I have received other tickets with some friends. Email me through USCHO if interested.

The part of the balcony that your tickets are in is extremely important information.

Congratulations? How many games at Matthews have you been to? I work with a bunch of kids from NU so if BU is off I can almost always get an extra student ticket, and I have never seen the balcony without, at minimum, a smattering of those shirts.

Oops, I have reading comprehension issues. I thought you were referring to BC fans all this time... some apologetic pos rep for you

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

There's one thing missing in this hilarious rant. Why if your sports programs are so important do your own fans not show up for games. Seems if their sporting events were such momentus occasions, on a national scale, why can't they 1) sell out their home games, or 2) get fans to take a 2 1/2 hour direct flight to watch the conference championship? If your own fans don't even care about their school's sports, why pray tell should the rest of us?

I don't really want you to care. I don't give a crap. I'd rather not discuss those sports at all, I don't find them as interesting as hockey. But when BU fans bring it up they only show how ignorant they are about them.

For example, saying they are a high expense... lol. Football and basketball turn profits. They bring in mega revenue (not to mention the value of the 'free advertising' that comes from appearing on major television networks multiple time per year). Hockey actually loses money.

Again, I don't really want to have this conversation. But you once again show that you don't know what you're talking about. Yes, 'nobody cares at all' about BC games, that's why the school brings in millions of dollars in profit from football and basketball (go ahead and look it up, it's all available on the internets).

Yes. I realize not in the BC section, but there were years when I was a lot younger that I would have loved to just get in no matter where the seats. I always buy 2 just in case, but usually happen to get some through business. Most of my friends who have want to go and can go already have tickets. So anyone I can help with getting 2 seats, I'd be happy to do so.

Football teams that turn a profit are for losers. BU and NU know what's up.

I looked it up, and when I see the Forbes list of most profitable schools, not only is BC nowhere to be found, but its all SEC, Big 10, and Big 12 schools (with ND thrown in). That's football schools with big TV contracts and big stadiums. See, again if the school's teams were such a draw, they wouldn't keep getting sent to the Motor City bowl or the Akron bowl, right?

Look, back to the discussion at hand. Nobody is envious of BC's athletic program. If people are going to be envious of other schools, there's a lot more successful ones to choose from. You could chose Florida for example, or if closer to home suits you, UConn, or if academics are important, Duke. As a student or alum, root for them all you like. However, there's little in the way of non-hockey achievements that would make fans of another school want to emulate BC's athletic department. Don't believe me? Again - where are all the fans then? If only they'd start showing up for games - BC would have a better TV deal than the SEC!

you are delusional if you think BU athletics doesn't envy BC.
