Won't ever be any later than 1978. Blizzard night 14 years old. Never made it home. Now that's a late night

Hah! I can't compete with that. I was a middle schooler in Europe at that time, so I can't claim to have been there that night.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
it was great to be a senior in college that semester. There was a 20" storm i think a bit before The Blizzard?? where we missed over a week of class in addition to the almost 2 weeks we missed due to The Blizzard. I bet Buoldtimer remembers

That's right. Huh-uuuge storm. The snow from that blizzard had just about melted when The Great Blizzard hit.

THE BLIZZARD OF '78. Who could forget?
A lot of brain cells were severely damaged that week.

Odd thing about The Great Blizzard of '78, the BU - BC Beanpot game was still played, and BC goalie Paul Skidmore managed to get a sunburn on the back of his neck.THE BLIZZARD OF '78. Who could forget?

I believe it is well ahead of the pace of the investigation into Bernard Cardinal Law.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
from That Championship Season; A look back at the 1977-78 Terriers by mh82
Two days later the Terriers headed to the Garden for an opening round Beanpot matchup with BC. Parker’s teams had lost three of the last four Beanpot finals, so there was certainly no lack of incentive for the Terriers when they stepped onto the ice to collide with their bitter rivals from up Commonwealth Avenue. While the game was being played inside the Garden, high winds and heavy snow had been pounding Boston for a several hours, in a gathering New England blizzard for the ages. Snow fell on the Boston area for over 30 hours, resulting in over 27 inches of accumulation, crippling all modes of transportation. The entire state of Massachusetts was shuttered for four days—and in a humorous tale recounted by former BU student Todd Brachman, by day four after the snowfall ended, campus hangout T. Anthony’s only had anchovy subs left on the takeout menu—and of the 11,000-plus college hockey fans who made their way into the Garden that night, nearly 500 of them were trapped on Causeway Street for the next 36 hours due to impassable roads. The tournament would wait another 23 days until the ’78 Beanpot champion was finally decided.
As for the game, BU took advantage of an injury-depleted BC defense and filled the Eagles’ cage with rubber, as 10 different Terriers scored goals in a 12-5 romp, the highest goal total ever scored by a BU team against the Eagles. Meagher and Boileau led the onslaught with two goals apiece and Lamby and O’Callahan each picked up three assists. The Eagles managed to put three pucks by Durocher in the first period and only trailed 4-3 at the intermission, but BU went on to score eight of the game’s next nine goals. BC’s highly regarded goaltender Paul Skidmore, who had helped beat BU in the Beanpot final two years earlier, departed with a groin injury in the second period, leaving backup Mike Cronin at the mercy of the Terriers for the rest of the game.
The massive snowfall led to the cancellation of a home date against RPI on February 10, and as luck would have it, BU’s next opponent on February 16 was BC at McHugh Forum. The Terriers didn’t hit for a dozen goals again, but they did reach double figures in a 10-5 win, with Miller and Silk each collecting two goals, Lamby dishing out an incredible six assists and Craig making 41 saves. That made it 21 straight wins for BU as the Terriers prepared for a Saturday trip to New Haven to face Yale at Ingalls Rink for a televised game in Boston and on several PBS outlets in the East.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
So the hammer fell down on Penn State today. A little too much in my opinion since I believe all the people associated with covering up Sandusky are gone. It is only going to hurt those who had nothing to do with it.
I wonder how much, or if, all of this will play into the recommendations of the task force which is due to be known soon. I have no idea how the meetings have been going except from someone here posting that the open students meetings were sparsely attended.
In any event, stark contrast on how BU has handled their athletic issues swiftly and openly as opposed to how Penn State handled it.

I wonder what it would take for the NC$$ to give a program the "death peanlty". Do they require actual deaths?

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
Well, they gave the SMU football program the death penalty in the mid '80s for violations that occured during the early '80s. As I recall, there were brazen violations of pay-for-play, recruiting infractions, even after the NCAA warned them. Something along the lines of the NO Saints and the bounty violations. The NFL warned them and they didn't allow the warning to deter them.

I would have gone with 10 year bowl ban, but vacating the wins was huge. That stripped them of the very thing they tried to protect by concealing the crimes.
I assume the big 10 will ban them from conf champ since they are banned from advancing to bcs - if they are even competitive
