Re: Beanpot LXVIII: Threepeat?
Honest question: where do BU fans put NU on their list of rivals now? I know 10 years ago it was toward the bottom but with NU's recent success/Maine and UNH recent struggles, has that changed?
For the record, we still really hate you

Re: Beanpot LXVIII: Threepeat?
I don't want to speak for everyone at BU, but my sense is that the NU "rivalry" would certainly be below BC and maybe below Cornell with the Red Hot Hockey tradition. Probably on par with the other Hockey East schools like Maine / UNH etc as you mention. Overall I don't think the "hate" is reciprocated, at least not to the same level.

Yes, the championship game would be considered a tie for records and PWR. The consolation game doesn't require a winner, so would only play a standard 5-minutes overtime if tied after regulation (by the way, there have only been 5 overtime consolation games, 2 which involved BC and Harvard, including the 1987 game when Len Ceglarski won his at the time record setting 556th career win on a controversial goal at the buzzer).

there's a good buck in that racket.
Re: Beanpot LXVIII: Threepeat?
mookie can equate this to steelers and clowns... nu being the clowns of course.
very close proximity to each other.
same division
one team with a ton of success historically.
one team with, well none.
the clowns hate the steelers and every time they play their fans treat it as their super bowl, cause in truth that is as close as they will ever get to the super bowl.
the records against are one sided.
now every now and then there is a stretch where the clowns have a nice little run. brian sipe years. now for nu. but these are hiccups in the long stretch of recorded history.
steelers, like bu with nu, look at the clowns not as annoying little brothers, but maybe an annoying neighborhood kid. or even a visiting runt cousin from the wrong side of the family.
no offense.

Re: Beanpot LXVIII: Threepeat?
It's a good comparison but Mookie made one glaring omission. Roethlisberger... Trivino/Nicastro.
ALLEGEDLY! God I miss those last few years under Parker. Agganimal House. Triple Secret Probation. 0.0 GPA... those were the days.
Congrats on the Piszpot Terriers fans. I hope you guys show up and harass the heck out of BC late in the consolation game.

Very creative! You've demonstrated an ability to write complete sentences. You still don't know the purpose of the Shift key? It is always a pleasure to watch your players' grace(?) in defeat, since most of them have no intention of playing 3, let alone 4, Beanpots. Despite the $$ bu has to throw around, you now have a mediocre program that plays in a pretty arena (Could Agganis actually skate?). Remember what the Man said: "You are what your record says you are". Laurels wilt quickly after being continuously sat upon.
No offense.
[ Only if you were correct, could you offend us. Beating you has made us stronger. Thanks

Struble and Filipe are out tonight? Congrats to the Terriers. We're morphing back to the late 90s/early to mid 2000s where winning the ****pot was the season for BU
Can we play a 3 team round-robin type scrimmage for the consolation game? NU probably shouldn't even show up against mighty BU

NU is fourth overall, but has dropped to 6th since 2014-15 as PC, UMass and UML have past them, while UNH has dropped below them.

Of course, after NU wins tonight, the hate from our side might grow a bit!

Bu and NU flip flopped.
Let the boys play tonight... par usual.
If you saw the BU game Friday night you wouldn’t.
Ha I meant with Struble and Filipe being out.
