No bong here, fellas. Seriously, if the football program is to really compete for a BCS bowl... then we need to drop the cupcakes like Central Michigan, Buffalo, Bowling Green, Northeastern, Kent State, U-Mass Amherst from the schedule and take one more challenging non-league games that will bolster the SoS. Heck, even with those cupcake wins a few years ago we were 7-0 and placed #2 in the country until we were beat by a formidable ACC team, and went from #2 to #19 over a period of 1 day!
IMO, Obie was a great recruiter, and great strategy coach; Jag played Obie's system/players. Spazieni is a train wreck, a BC Loyalist who will do whatever Father M wants. For the sake of BC I will say that I am glad Obie has not had the success at NCST that he had at BC.
(and I would probably agree with him).Except mookie is a BU fan. And I doubt he's sandbagging.
My contention is that there are numerous teams that have won similar title numbers as BC in the last ten years, including Denver, Minnesota, and by the weekend....possibly Wisconsin. Suggesting that BC is "far and away the best" over the last ten + years based, I suspect, on final four appearances, many of which have been through venues within a stones throw of Boston, not to mention BC's struggles to win the title when getting there, is quite a stretch.
We think highly of York and the BC program in the west, but no more than the top three or four WCHA programs over that same time span.

No... your contention was that it was BC fans chest-thumping... when the comment came from a fan of BC's biggest rival.
BC, Denver and Minnesota each have 2 titles since 2000; BC dwarfs the other two in FF appearances and also has won something like 7 out of the last 13 conference championships. Spin it any way you want, that puts BC ahead of Denver and Minnesota (with all due respect to those two great programs, which are probably my favorite teams in the west).
That was one hell of a home ice advantage, I might add. (it was 2002, btw)
