The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration

At least we don't pretend to be important.

So in other words. BU is so worthless that even pretending to be important wouldn't work. Way to go. Something to be proud of... for sure.

And a better example would be York over Umile. 5-1 against UNH at the Garden, including five straight wins (3-0 in HE title games).

LOL yup. I always love this post from BU fans. "You guys think you're so cool because every now and then you're on ESPN, you knock off some major powers, get most of the local press about college sports, and have students who come to the school partly because of the perception of being a strong athletics school. Whoop-de-do! BUT YOU'RE NOT AS GOOD AS VIRGINIA TECH! Here at BU, we know we suck! Feel the fever!"

Nothing says "We're awesome" as much as a trip to the Emerald Nuts Bowl, a trip to the Music City Bowl, and, of course, leeching off of teams that national media actually care about (Duke, UNC, etc.)

...and not for nothing, but BU is a well-known, well-regarded school in the heart of a great city, with tons of money and great, modern athletic facilities - you'd think they'd be able to dominate the clownshoe America East basketball conference and go to the Dance a couple of times each decade. Then I could maybe see saying something about BC's 'major revenue sports.'

Buuut....no.

Hahahahahahahaha... Wow... way to copy Joe's parody of you guys almost verbatim.

This is what I don't get. BC has a football team, a successful one at that. BC's basketball program is also better than BU's. Why make fun of BC?

There's a reason no one is bringing BU basketball into this debate.

I agree. BC sucks at sports. How could I have been so foolish? Being ranked in the top 25 in football and/or basketball is so easy, I'm sure all of the other local schools could do it repeatedly if they just decided they wanted to, but why bother? Duh.

I really have no desire to talk about basketball. None whatsoever.

That post is one of the "Old Reliables." We'll certainly hear within 15 minutes about how BC's lost to some crappy basketball programs, and something about how BC students don't go to games/BC fans don't travel well, as if BU (or Northeastern) would know anything about that.

And yet, you did it.

"BC beats good teams like Duke and UNC so they suck! But BU sucks more so we're not going to talk about it therefore BU does not suck more!"

Q. E. effin' D.

Now that it's laid out so logically, I see the error of my ways.
