Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread Part Deux

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread Part Deux

Semantics question... if the BC Blogger info was false as of yesterday because Coyle said it wasn't true, does that make Federal League's story on CHN equally false since Coyle is still denying it?

I don't know about any of you guys but I still believe Coyle, just like the fanboys believed him as of last night before USHR broke their story.

Where will you be mid-January? That is the question to ask.

Recall the movie "Major League" and the fans in the "reservation" in center field....after arguing about the trajectory of a fly ball that ended up being a home run

"Who gives a _ _ _ _? It's gone..."

Why are we still talking about who asked what question?

I guess the point is, we didn't believe that some random BC blogger had sources inside BU, when the player himself was quoted as saying the story wasn't true. The blogger was asked to at least reveal more as to who was giving him this information so we could know how much stock to put in it, but he wouldn't say. It's not unreasonable to disbelieve a BC blogger claiming to have inside sources at BU. Also, it should be noted that CHN's Joe Meloni also did not believe this kid's report:

Please, it was known for several days. CC has many close friends at BC, probably more so than BU. played with several his whole life, none of the BU kids.

I knew about it last week+. Before the Triviano episode.

You realize CHN is the biggest joke site out there? As if hiring message board posters wasnt enough of a giveaway

My story is about the USHR report. My editors and I thought that report was important enough to warrant a story. I did not feel the tweets from the BC blog were important enough to report, much like I would never consider posts on this forum important enough to report. There is nothing inaccurate in my story. My original reporting is in the third paragraph, and it doesn't say anything definitive about whether he has left or not.

Another guy that looks like an absolute buffoon today now that USHR has confirmed the story (along with that yahoo from the Eagle Tribune). Not a good defense... "well, this other idiot also thought the same thing as I did. Now we're both idiots together, hoorah!"

As HD just pointed out, this was out there but kept quiet for a little bit (I still haven't seen anyone detailing his issues like I've heard). The BC guy had better sources than you and the rest of your buddies. End of story. It was evident it was right by the time last night rolled around and even after Coyle denied it, you didn't see any BU insider on this board confirm it to be false. That silence was deafening. Throw in some very reputable BC sources (not that you would necessarily know) confirming it, all in response to the original BC blog post, and hokydad referencing it, and it was pretty obvious by last night that it was true. Yet the fansies got all snug in their bed with visions of Kevin Bacon in animal house dancing in their heads. Quite a riot to sit back and watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK so if the BC Blog breaks another report, you will write a story about them breaking the story because now they are reputable (like USHR)?

CHN will write a story about other news outlets breaking a story. So if the original story is false, CHN won't have to retract since their story was about a story, not about an actual story. Duh. It's the genius of pilfering content from pay sites. The risk of being wrong is on them!

And All incriminating tweets will be deleted

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread Part Deux

Just when i though this team had turned the corner...The Crew is starting to mutiny! Who's next?????

Do season ticket holders get refunds if BU can't field a team?

I wonder if Jack will take Victor Saponari or Glass back, that is, if they're still on campus.

Hopefully with Coyle it's just that got tired of studying and the Corey thing is what it is.

If more dominoes fall this could spell the end for Parker????

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread Part Deux

Calling CC now is pointless.... Grades haven't come out yet. If what is being written is accurate (and there is no reason to think its not), CC is about to flunk out of school. He hasn't yet, and it is reasonable to think he would prefer not to do so. Who wants to known as a stupid *** ****stick dummy that flunked out of college?!! So he is sitting around hoping for Devine intervention of some sort, but he (and the universe of scouts, all his friends, those who talk to people, and my dog) is 99.999% sure he's done (and Charlie, that rounds to 100%. You're welcome).

So until grades are posted he's still a BU student. "still here". I shouldn't need to explain it, right?

Sure, I'm not offering the CHN tweet as proof of the story's falsehood, only that there were many who did not believe the original tweet from this BC blog, or at least wanted more info than a vague reference to an inside source. As I stated yesterday, there was too much smoke for there not to be some form of fire here, which was my belief yesterday - that something was up, I just didn't know who was the one that was more right. As I wrote earlier today, I now believe the outside reports more than I believe Coyle, specifically because he apparently did not respond to a follow up request for information last night from the BHB, which I took as further proof of something going on, and because, as someone noted in the last few posts, there wasn't really anyone else coming out saying it was false. Of course, the USHR report only further solidified that, as they are more reputable of a source than a random blog. So who knows, apparently someone contacted the Wild and they say they haven't heard anything first hand, but that's not exactly the most glaring denouncement of the story.

At this point, I'd like to find out if one of next year's freshmen can be fast-tracked to this season. I suppose if this was going to happen, now would be the best time for it, since it's between semesters, and someone can join the team and start classes at the beginning of the semester. IIRC, Beaudry did this at PC 3 years ago.

And for someone as apparently privy to all of this information as you are, you'd think you'd know how to correctly spell Trivino's name.

That is assuming Coyle ever started studying to begin with.

I did wonder if this week is something that might push Jack to consider going out at the end of the year. Players are not happy right now apparently? Chiasson and Clendenning could leave early (any others?). No goalie with any experience on next year's roster. Will the administration take notice of two incidents in one week and put some pressure on him?

Re: Boston University 2011-2012 Season Thread Part Deux

First of all, hokydad loves breaking news...without actually breaking news. That's just what he does. Then, after the fact, he'll tell you he knew all along and how long he knew it for.

I got a text yesterday from a BU grad/season ticket holder saying "sources say Coyle gone...before the Notre Dame game". I didn't believe him. Unlike hokydad, I didn't post a word about it on here or try to come up with some fancy riddle.

Now, all that aside, yes, a lot of people look pretty foolish here. In any event, losing two top six forwards under these circumstances is very difficult to overcome. I was gonna call it a bush league move by Coyle, but I don't know if he actually put in the work to try and stay eligible. If he did and just couldn't cut it, fine. But if he intentionally dogged it academically and knew this is something he was gonna do...don't have much good to say about him for abandoning his teammates in the middle of the year.

Ah, let them have their little circle jerk. Trying to figure out why some of these guys need to spend so much time in our thread, you'll go crazy. It can't be done.

This isn't great for Parker, obviously. I still say he did the right thing regarding Trivino...but to say all the stuff about the kid to the media that he did I can't agree with. "He's got an ongoing alcohol problem blah, blah, blah..."

I'm thinking he felt the need to let the world know how he was justified in letting Corey go since there's been a rash of dismissals recently, but in doing so probably lost some loyalty of the team.

As an avid BU fan...this is very troubling.

But if what HD stated is true that Coyle was already gone then the team could still be fine.

Chiasson-Connolly-Gill

Rodrigues-Nieto-Megan

Courtnall-Hohmann-Cisse

Gaudet-Rosen-Gilroy

Is still a very good team. Not as good as it was about 7 dyas ago though...

Eh, not worth speculating about what his intentions were, probably not something we'll ever know.

One thing I do wonder is who is the one that was originally privy to all of Coyle's academic information. Technically, by law, that stuff is not allowed to be revealed by the university to anyone other than who Coyle decides. So I would imagine it had to have come from someone within the hockey program, as they would have active knowledge of his progress.

Huh?

Parker should be working on the neutral zone trap right about now. BU should focus on team defense/senior goaltender.
