I just found the NU season ticket form. It was a year old but you could get a seat behind the goal for $135 or a premium ticket between the blue lines for $195. And I pay what? $900 for two seats to watch this horror show? It's borderline hubris on the part of the school to do that. How much are season tickets at Conte?

Correct...but hopefully people like you and I (who already bailed on my tickets) will cause them to wake up...but don't hold your breath!

Hey, Jack killed it, now Jack is attempting to kill hockey, maybe he's an academic after all?

Anyone else getting those emails from the Red Sox desperate for us to buy tickets? I agree with the premise and unfortunately in this decade the town has been spoiled. Years ago it was about supporting your team through thick and thin, and it made us New Englanders. We lived in a part of the world that dealt with heartbreak, horrible weather, and the Patriots.

True but when I went to BU in the mid 90s I could walk to Fenway on the day of the game and get bleacher seats for less than $20. It wasn't that long ago that Fenway would have 20000 people at a sox game. The Pats were regularly blacked out pre-Parcells because attendance was so bad. It's not fair weather. If the teams are bad why would you spend your money going and watching them get spanked? I'm sitting on my couch tonight and much, much happier because I'm no t watching the hockey team get waxed.

I said many nights not all and I know a few times I was shut out in the lobby and begged them to let me in as a standing room. Granted usually the bigger in conference games (non school break periods of course).

A single ticket for bc usually comes in around 300

Swept....was there ever a doubt? Jack is going to lose his mind. Bavis is a dope.

My family were season ticketholders to the Pats getting spanked, I live through UNH hockey year after year, and if the people are going to bandwagon, so be it. I'm a fan because of the memories of the good times, the downs of the tragedies and dealing with the lean times. If I only go during the good times it won't be authentic. This is not about Parker losing it, its about the fans not being that interested.

Chip Kelly got a job in the NFL because of I-AA. So did Jerry Rice, Joe Flacco, shall i continue?

Pretty easy for me to get to and free parking...really can't be beat. Anyway, the way things are now, we may see a bc/bu qf series.
 
Re: Boston University season thread - strike 3! last man there turn out the lights.

36 penalty minutes and the end of game thuggery continues. Noonan gets 10 for elbowing/contact to the head. Kick him off too Jack...they just don't make them like they used to. Maybe we need some more off ice incidents? Goons. Lazy goons.

Is there any chance they could fall to 9th if they don't win another game?

This is correct (and I know that for a fact on higher ups at BU)

the one-armed bandit tried to use U of Chicago as an example of what a foozballless bu would become. :D
