Beanpot LX: All your Beanpots are belong to us

Re: Beanpot LX: All your Beanpots are belong to us

All this said about the lack of sellout, only 2 teams winning it every year, lack of relevance, etc.

And I agree, this tournament would reach new levels if all 4 teams had a chance of winning it and all 4 teams filled their sections.

But it's still going to be a sellout on Monday night.

I know it will never happen but having a different 4th team every year (somewhat local, Mack? UML? UNH?) might bring something. No offense Crimson but you bring nothing and especially, and more importantly, no one
 
Milner cannot catch the puck. It is equally scary and sad. He looks like a cross between Wes welker and a grizzly bear trying to open a garbage bag

How bad was he Monday night? Unbelievable.

The only call I remember was the one where the NU guy pushed a BC forward into Rawlings, and the BC forward got called for interference. That game was so lopsided, I barely paid attention to officiating except to see if NU was going to start declining their powerplays. The officiating wasn't exactly stellar in either game, at one point I think it was Nicastro poke checked the puck away from a Harvard guy, the Harvard guy traps Nicastro's stick in his legs, and Nicastro gets called for interference. Fortunately, officiating didn't factor into either outcome.

and all of us will be wondering why a lot of people (not associated with BC-BU) say it's old and stale:rolleyes:

I AM associated with BC and I think it's stale. I was really looking forward to Monday and the two games were both terrible. At this point, just eliminate Harvard and NU and just have a BC/BU final at the Garden on whatever Monday you want. As for the upcoming matchup, it's more relevant this year than say 2010 because both teams are good now. They're playing for national positioning along with bragging rights. I know in 2009 it was close to #1 vs. #2 when BU played NU, but it's not often both finalists are in the top 10, is it? Plus, BU has gone a whole two years without the Pot...that has to be killing Jack Parker.

I suppose I should have written "most of us".........I dunno, I think it's great but no doubt, it was dead in the Garden monday night and seemed stale at least that night...........and since when can't BU fill 3 sections?:eek: oh, early game i guess.........just sayin:cool:
 
Re: Beanpot LX: All your Beanpots are belong to us

What if they made it so BC played BU in the first round every year?
 
Re: Beanpot LX: All your Beanpots are belong to us

Does anyone know which end each team will shoot at twice this Monday? I am a Brown fan, so I have no real personal stake in the game, but I've always liked BU and will be cheering for them. I have tickets section 302. Where is this in relation to each student section? I know the Bruins shoot twice at this end, but have no idea if that means anything for the Beanpot (in terms of who is the home team, etc).

Thanks in advance for any information.

You'll be fine in 302, it's really more towards the middle, it's on the blue line there. BU students sit to the left, and BC is in the far right corner. My tickets are in 302 as well, technically it's right at the edge of the BU season ticket holder tickets, but there was a smattering of BC fans there last week, as well as a few others. If you're a neutral fan, you won't have any issues with students there.

Wonderful! I've sat there for a handful of Bruins games before, so I know they're great seats, but I didn't want to be the only guy cheering for BU in a section full of BC season ticket holders and next to the Super Fans. I can't imagine that would go down well. :) Thanks for your help, and timely response!
 
Re: Beanpot LX: All your Beanpots are belong to us

BC's the home team. Whoever plays in the late game the first week is the home team the second week.

Huh. I did not know that. I've gotten a lot of questions from random people the last few days about how they determine who play who on the first night. That's a rotation, correct? How do they determine the home team for the first night?
 
Re: Beanpot LX: All your Beanpots are belong to us

Matchups are a straight three-year rotation. Home teams for the first round are decided by a coin flip. The late game is chosen based on what will get the best ratings, so basically the matchup that doesn't involve Harvard.
 
Re: Beanpot LX: All your Beanpots are belong to us

Why have a coin flip to determine home teams for the first round games? Why not just rotate that every time the same matchup comes around in the first round? So, BU was the home team against Harvard...next time they play in the first round, Harvard is the home team.

First off the post literally right above you I say that I go to RPI, so obviously I am dealing with a slightly illiterate person.
Secondly I have taken formal logic, and I know one class does not make me an expert, but you are not dealing in solely formal logic. Let me explain (I will try to do this as simply as possible so as not to confuse you):
Your argument when stated formally is of the form of Modus Ponens which in symbolic terms is:
If P, then Q.
P
Thus Q.
Which is a completely valid logical argument in formal logic. (By the way formal logic deals only in symbolic logic.) Being valid though says nothing about the truth of the argument. Truth is determined from informal logic by evaluating the truth of the premises and whether they follow each other. If we replace the Ps and Qs with your premises then we get:
If a team has more championships then they should have more Hall of Fame members.
BU has more championships then NU.
Thus BU should have more Hall of Fame members.
On the surface this argument seems true, when in fact it is not. In my last post I showed how the two premises where unrelated, thus you cannot say that one follows the other.
Also even simpler to show the stupidity of the argument in your most recent post:
4 cannot BE GREATER then anything then any of those other numbers, but something with 4 of one thing can have more of another thing. That's just common sense.
BOOM! You just got out trolled. :p :D
