You don't understand, it was her best 24 hours too!
I'd say:
Tampa
Denver
Detroit
Albany - as a BU fan, the loss of "1949" was tough.
By the time Denver rolled around, I was just glad we dodged the bullet in Madison and St Louis...mookie1995
there's a good buck in that racket.

I heard BC was raising ticket prices because their budget has been depleted by hanging all of those "BC 20XX National Champions" signs on the Mass Pike. Seriously I drive by it twice a day. It's stuck on 2010. So two years ago.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Not sure what prompted that, given the best attendance in the league, multiple sellouts, and a student section that for the last 4-5 years has been incredible...

That means that BC official sports news published that pic of Kreider, John Muse commented on it by saying "just another sellout."
Means to me that Muse was disappointed in the fan support at BC. Or maybe he was being sarcastic. Dunno.
Edit: Could also refer to Kreider as a sellout for leaving early.

Re: Boston College Off-Season Thread: 2012 National Champions
I really don't get it. We could build a tiny arena and have 2/3 the fans we have now at games and somehow that would be better support.
Re: Boston College Off-Season Thread: 2012 National Champions
The funny thing is that the Mass Pike runs a whole lot closer to BU than it does to BC. But if your frame of reference is the Mass Pike and what the signs say, BU has never won anything. Ever. In the history of the universe.

Re: Boston College Off-Season Thread: 2012 National Champions
It was about the fact that the lower bowl seats visible in the image were pretty much empty and it was 100% about fan support and had zero to do with Kreider. Things did improve last season, especially upstairs, but lower bowl was still very disappointing at a lot of games last year and very disappointing was pretty much the rule for Muse's four years. Tickets being sold doesn't equal asses in the seats, but it is asses in the seats that the players see.

Pretty sure BU had a sign after 2009.

Re: Boston College Off-Season Thread: 2012 National Champions
bu's were removed after bc won and had their sign put up. bu later auctioned off the signs to raise money to support the athletic department.
i guess since no other school was putting up a 2011 sign bc got to keep their 2010 up.

Re: Boston College Off-Season Thread: 2012 National Champions
after i read what TTT20 explained i figured it was about those seats.Melissa is spot on here IMO. Hey, we all know most if not all empty seats down in the lower bowl are Alumni who buy season tickets and don't show up except for the BU game(s) and for some, not even then. Sure, it reflects negatively but it seems to me that the lower bowls in most of the arena's i've been to always have empty seats in the same basic area and probably for the same reason. Muse is right btw but is a bit surprising he said that because he must have known how much attendance has improved especially and specifically during his four years, and he's one of the reasons...........

I agree with this, but calling out the Superfans is BS. The students have been fantastic since like '08 or '09.
How about we don't b!+¢# about the people who *don't* care (the ones sterlippo mentioned, the ones in the lower bowl, which honestly are mostly seats that BC probably holds and gives to corporate donors who don't give a $#!+, in addition to other rich season ticket holders who only use their seats for big games, which is exactly the same thing other schools do). It's a slap in the face to those of us who do.
Let's stop acting all hipster like we feel like we *should* be complaining about fan support. It's not perfect, no, and can always improve, but it is much better than in the past, especially in the student sections, which are ALWAYS full behind the nets for every game regardless of opponent. The relatively few problems we have are the same ones shared by every team in this conference. Enough.
And Melissa, this is discussed ad nauseum in every BC/BU thread ever started, ever, but BC counts tickets scanned, not tickets sold, when counting attendance.
Re: Boston College Off-Season Thread: 2012 National Champions
Student attendance went way up last season (AFTER Muse), but it wasn't full for every game much less for entire games during his tenure and until this season never came close to the noise made at some other HE schools (note - part of that is this season I now have students above/behind me so I don't know how much the ends have improved their volume or how greatly what they can hear has increased.
There is nothing hipster about me. I praised attendance/students numerous times this season, but don't remember much occasion to do so previously. I know you've been to other rinks so I'm not sure why you are so convinced that BC had great student support during Muse's years.
You seem to date it being good to your time at BC, but honestly earlier it was better (louder) when that kid would run around. A player's cousin?? Can't remember. Must be grown now.
