Boston College Hockey, Part II

[FiveHole12]

Re: Boston College Hockey, Part II

I had a dog some years back, a black labrador retriever. Great dog, and I miss him tons. As stupid as he sometimes seemed, he was actually a very smart dog. He would mozy on down the street every day while I was at work and hang out at the window factory.

When the employees took a break, there he'd be sitting and watching as they snacked and talked. They'd say, 'look at that stupid dog', but he'd get his share of doughnuts and pastries tossed his way at every morning break. At lunch time, the 'stupid dog' would sit there and watch them eat. They'd toss him a full dinner's worth of food during lunch. Hell, there was one Brosco truck driver that loved the 'stupid dog' so much, he'd time his deliveries to this factory so he could take his lunch and feed the 'stupid dog'.

When they weren't feeding him, he'd have them tossing him sticks or balls that he would retrieve and then have them throw them again. The 'stupid dog' ate and had a fun time all day long.

When I'd go over looking for him to bring him home, folks would point me in the direction of 'that stupid dog'. They would say it lovingly, as everyone loved Cassius.

Anyway... my point... jcarter is like my 'stupid dog' (dumb like a fox), and my fellow BC fans love to feed him and throw him sticks. Honestly, I have as much fun watching him make you do what he wants as I did watching Cassius do the same to everyone he encountered. He's got you right where he wants you guys.

Is it Hermon or Hernon?

My guess is the staff will favor Milner against a team with snipers. Just a guess.

Really? I would strongly disagree in playing Milner again this season. Muse hasn't just earned it on reputation, he's earned it on how he's played in the 2nd semester. JMHO.

Matti and Schneider rotated in the '04-'05 season.
IMO, Milner isn't/wasn't an experiment. Muse looked very vulnerable for a stretch after the Beanpot, and Milner looked darn good (check out the box scores since the Beanpot).

FiveHole, Muse gave up a total of 5 goals on the road against both NU and UML when the team looked absolutely god**** terrible. (3 goals for) Milner did play well but don't look past the fact that all 4 of those starts were at home (18 goals for) where BC has been a very different animal this season.

Hey, I'm not knocking him, but I saw what I saw. I thought he was struggling. But he certainly didn't struggle in the Beanpot or the final RS game versus UNH. Big games, big game goalie.

Bigger games to come. Will be interesting to see who Jerry goes with. Like I said, I feel comfortable with either guy.

I feel very comfortable with either of them getting starts from here on out. I think either goaltender gives us an equal chance to win.

I don't. Milner needs to spend this summer working on his rebound control. It was especially in a problem in the two big games he played in at the end of the year (UNH and UMass).

Bingo. The guy has won us a national championship. There is no way you can sit him on the bench in a lose and go home situation, like the games from here on out.

Re: Boston College Hockey, Part II

whoever york decides to go with let's just be honest and acknowledge that there's at the very least a case to be made (both positive and negative) for starting muse or milner....plus it's fun to argue right?? lol

does anyone know if bc is bringing in a solid #1 type goalie next year that would eliminate any of this type of argument???... like another clemmensen or schneider?

 

[sterlippo1]

Re: Boston College Hockey, Part II

they bring in Brian Billet i think his name is but does Milner's emergence affect him coming? I think the kid(Milner) has played great but I don't see how Jerry passes Muse by.......

Right. If BC loses with Muse in goal, there's a whole lot less 'second-guessing' going on than if Milner were in net. And York's a nice guy; I wouldn't want to see his whole off-season become a referendum on a goalie decision that he made in one game.

Oh my God, is this true?! Ahahahahaha

Ah, no it isn't actually.

UVM :

SAT Score Ranges

* SAT Critical Reading: 540-640
* SAT Math: 550-640
* SAT Writing: 540-640

Applicants = 23,500 Accepts ~ 2500.

UVM accepts about 10% of applicants. There was actually some outrage a while back as a large portion of VT applicants were being denied. Mostly because the HS system blows. A lot of the M*******s get in because UVM charges them out the azz to come so they take as many as they can get and stick them with the bill.

Hi JCarter, me again. Just wanted to commend you on your outstanding fictional writing skills regarding UVM. As usual, your low level intellect has failed you in the basic grasping of facts. Attached is a link showing the University of Vermont's ACTUAL acceptance rates. You'll notice they are quite different from what you posted. Some highlights:

Overall applicants: 11,384
Accepted applicants: 8,696
Acceptance Rate: 76%

Here's the link with the rest. The overall question this begs is who were these poor 24% who couldn't get into such an esteemed instituted as UVM.

Not for nothing, but I found online that UVM's acceptance rate is about 65%. It appears your 23,500 applicants number is right, however the 2500 is the number that enroll, not the number that are accepted. About 17,000 are accepted. So no its not super selective, however yes it is an urban legend to think they somehow accept everyone on a "trial" basis.

I was also pleasantly surprised to learn during my internet searches that UVM was founded in 1791. Pretty old! Must be a lot of tradition there.

Re: Boston College Hockey, Part II

I really don't give a **** what % of applicants UVM (or any school) accepts, because that doesn't really have anything to do with the quality of a school's educational offerings.

That said, bwahahaha at jcarter's incredible ability to make stuff up. Unreal.

Harvard, Princeton and Yale linger around the 10% acceptance mark... and probably MIT... sorry, I don't think anyone is putting UVM (or BC) in that category...

The campus and surrounding town are absolutely gorgeous. Well worth making the trip next year. I believe BC will be up there for a full weekend next year - I trust you will rustle up some students, spend the weekend in Burlington and raise some hell.

http://www.enotes.com/university-of-vermont-guide

The student body runs at about 10K, last year there were 23,000 applicants. Ergo, approximately 2500 incoming freshmen, granted more were accepted then came, but somehow I doubt they accepted 16000 students last year.

Here are the real facts if you care to look
http://www.uvm.edu/admissions/undergraduate/why/?Page=uvm_facts.html



But yes, several of you are correct, my original post was wrong in that I listed enrolled and not accepted. Not sure where to find that info, but UVM has increased applicants tremendously in the past two years specifically to lower that rate. I doubt that the 65% mark still holds true.

 

[joegrav]

Re: Boston College Hockey, Part II

But here is food for thought, how can 8696 applicants be accepted when the entire student body is less then that,

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You ought to check out this thing called "yield rate."

You proposed a point, were proven wrong, and now you are doubting those numbers? I didn't make up those numbers on that link, clearly you made up your numbers previous to that.

Regardless, I have no idea what the actual numbers are regarding UVM's student population and whether or not the student body number you provided includes graduate or evening college students, etc. Let's be honest, a monkey could get into UVM. To say otherwise is foolish.

The bottom line is the 10% number you list is more likely the percentage UVM has of NOT being blown out by Boston College on Friday.
