Terrier, good post. With the pats, at least more often than not they are legitimately in the mix.

It helps... although some programs are still gimps and unable to take advantage. Like the one that got great draws with UNH (de facto bye?), St. Cloud (ditto), St. Lawrence (ECAC), Maine, Harvard (ECAC), UNH (seriously) consecutively and still managed no FF appearances with those games. :D

bu beat jan brady and harvard...
4ot falls under luck.
jack probably shoulda stepped down after the maine game (imagine, losing to a dead coach!!)

and mookie has already brought up uhn as a huge failure on bu's part (i can't believe you wasted time on something he already brought up!! :D)

I can't even imagine the noise from the "complainers" on here if we are 7-18 at this point in our second season removed from J.P.

Is BB a good coach? Or did Tom Brady happen?

Most likely a mix of both. Let's see since 2001:

10 AFC East championships
Worst record? 9-7. That happened ONCE
Average record: 12-4

Playoff record during that time? 17-7. But in a one-and-done tournament, that means they were eleminated seven times; they won three Super Bowls in ten postseason appearances. What does that tell you?

And, more importantly, does anyone disagree with the fact that THAT's successful?

(And no, this isn't really a defense of BU. After the 2009 NCAA Champ year, they've been doing pretty terribly. But every time I think they're turning the corner, something else bad happens.)
 
Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

Ya, the pats post last super bowl win are north dakota hockey. Always in the mix but always come up short.

that once the league forbid bellicheat to....cheat. he has won no (zero!) super bowls.
 
Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

The pats haven't won another SB because defense isn't as good and offense underperforms. Nothing to do with spygate.

And because Eli Manning and David Tyree.

P.S. I'm a Jets fan, so for me to say that the Patriots are consistently the best team in the league is painful.
 
Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

Jets fan, eh? In that case, watching BU hockey is a reprieve ;)

so bellicheat is a lousy gm, and he is a lousy coach?
 
Re: Boston University 2012-13 Season Thread -- Part II

Nope. Still a good coach but not a great gm

I've said for years he should just focus on coaching

I shouldn't talk about being a Mets fan, either.

I think the reluctance from the pro-Parker crowd (and I understand it) is that, when Parker leaves, there will most likely be some sort of vacuum. Will it be seamless, or will it be a tear-it-down approach? And if it's the latter, we can only look to Huntington Avenue to see how quickly things can fall apart. I don't think BU fans want to be asking themselves if it's going to get back to normal. To use another football analogy, BU is like the Dallas Cowboys. Are they embarrassing? It sure looks that way. But, then again, if you're a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, you are looking up.

And no one wants to see BU become the Chiefs.
