You forgot to add in BC's phantom 1940 football title.
Besides the national championship part, no sane BU fan is going to say that BU has an athletic program any where close to BC.

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration
Yes, but in the grand scheme of things, is being less relevant compared to a pretty irrelavent program in its own right really the kind of thing to get worked up about? I'm not sure BC's success (or lack thereof) outside of the sport of hockey really justifies the school's expenditures on those sports.

Other than the whole "it creates national exposure for the school and adds to the quality and enjoyment of student life, while also leading to lots of income and donations to the school" thing.
Let's get real pal. I love hockey and would give up the other sports in a heartbeat, but basketball and football butter the bread. BC gets more attention and money for losing the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl in Boise than winning the hockey national championship. Getting national press and pulling in the ticket and concession money of football and basketball is pretty much what further separates BC in recognition & reputation from a lot of other quality Catholic liberal-arts based schools in the area.
Thus, yes, it matters. It would take someone totally ignorant about Division I athletics to not understand that. Dope.
And considering there are 300ish D1 basketball schools and 119(?) D1A football schools, I'd hardly consider BC's modest accomplishments to be 'irrelevant.' If you weren't blinded by a combination of hatred of BC and ignorance about D1 sports, you'd understand that.
Bitter BU and UMass fans are the only people who think BC athletics are 'irrelevant.' The students from around the country who get excited about BC partly due to athletics, the major TV networks that put BC on multiple times each year, and the general college sports fan who knows about BC athletics and some of the great players the school has produced in major sports would not share your assessment. The difference between BC and BU athletics isn't a matter of degrees, it's an entirely different universe. Period.

Taking a Jack Parker postgame quote to the media at face value is rarely useful, he always has a hidden agenda. The fact that it was the genesis of your argument ends your argument before it begins, never mind that the game was BU's 6th of the season.
Same way you can explain sucks to BU shirts at a NU vs UVM game?
You mean the Fenway game you predicted sun and warmth for?
I'm honestly not sure whether I prefer winning Fenway or the Beanpot, they're a similar type of game.

Not much to explain with that one since it doesn't happen with the exception of a couple stupid, drunk freshman. Also, there is a difference between 1 or 2 intoxicated freshman and 2 whole student sections chanting "BC sucks".

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration
There's one thing missing in this hilarious rant. Why if your sports programs are so important do your own fans not show up for games.
Seems if their sporting events were such momentus occasions, on a national scale, why can't they 1) sell out their home games, or 2) get fans to take a 2 1/2 hour direct flight to watch the conference championship? If your own fans don't even care about their school's sports, why pray tell should the rest of us?

Holy Freddy Meyer! I go one day without posting and we have a 7-page Beanpot flamefest? Well done, ladies, gentlemen and NU fans.

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration
Wrong on both counts, maybe there are 1,2 fans wearing the white I [middle finger] BU shirts, but to pretend that that there aren't many fans who treat the sucks to BU shirts as their hockey game attire is living in denial.
The BC sucks at BU is (in most people's eyes) too prominent, but at the same time:

Yes, I know there is a tickets forum. I rarely ever look there so I figured I might help someone out. I have two tickets in the balcony to sell for face value. I have received other tickets with some friends. Email me through USCHO if interested.

. . . and half the posts are from 4 BC guys. Looks kind of pathetic. Where's the confidence, man? I dunno; I'd take your season and its prospects over ours at this point.

Re: The 2010 Beanpot: Featuring One Team Under Consideration
which sport are you talking about?
having D-1 football and basketball teams turn a huge profit for the school (approx $15 to $20 million a year in alumni giving). one of the perks of the acc, is that all bowl money is pooled. so there is no financial advantage to making the BCS game, in that regard.
i doubt you are talking about the non-revenue sports because, after all, they are non-revenue. they are probably very low costs outside of small travel expenditures (no doubt BU has these same sports and performs irrelevantly in their crappy conferences, as well)

Logically, because everyone who could get into BU could get into BC, and anyone who gets into BC is overqualified for MIT/Harvard?
