UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread II

Re: UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread II

Are all four beanpot schools in play... Could they just bump the whole weekend by one day?

At last check, no snow for me :(

On the BC thread they are discussing the possibility of moving the Lowell game to Saturday. Both teams are off Saturday night and BC basketball doesn't play until Sunday against Duke ( 6:00 pm). It appears the building is available Saturday. We'll have to wait and see.

Powerpoint file from the NWS conference call says the onset of heavy snow will be between 1-3PM and that "Travel to destination (like home from work or school) may become impossible by the evening commute on Friday".
 
Re: UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread II

Didn't UML run a bus trip for the students to BC a few years ago? Lowell had a good crowd there that night. Have they had any bus trips this year?

I think it had to be at least a 2007 ish range. I only say that because I went on a trip to BC with Lowell and that would have been the last time I would have been an on campus student. I know that they won that game :).

EDIT: I believe it was this game in 2008.. I remember the score being 3-1. http://www.hockeyeastonline.com/men/boxes08.php?mbc_uml1.f15

Tomorrow's game hasn't officially been postponed yet, but it will be. I was told that they are looking at re-scheduling it for 4pm Saturday, but since the snow may not be quite over then, that might not work either.
 
Re: UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread II

Any chance of playing the BC game Fri or even Sat night? What's your expert opinion UMLWeatherman? How much we gonna get? A TV weatherman in CT showed a map that said 44.5 inches in Boston!
 
Re: UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread II

I would be very surprised if they play on Friday. Even as ScottK noted the storm may not be cleared out (traffic/roads wise) by 4pm on Saturday, so it may be tough then too.

1-2' possible across all of Southern New England and most of New Hampshire. One model is going nutz and TV mets are eating it up.

Yep, that was the one. BC fans REALLY didn't like us taking over the place like that. Much louder than the BC student section. :D
 
Re: UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread II

The Northeastern/UMass game tomorrow has been postponed until Tuesday 2/19. Expect a similar announcement about the Lowell/BC game this afternoon.

And another one postponed...
BU Athletics ‏@BUAthletics
Men's Ice Hockey game tomorrow vs. Merrimack has been postponed due to the incoming snowstorm. Rescheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 26 (7pm)

then there was the 6-0 shellacking administered the following year i believe, the worst game i've seen BC play in my 6+ years as a season ticket holder
 
Re: UMass Lowell '12/'13 Season Thread II

I will never understand why BC doesn't pack the place most nights. You guys only seem to sell out against BU. At least Lowell has put up some big home crowds the last 4 or 5 years against teams like UVM and Northeastern.

You are correct that our crowds those years were not great but the past 2-3 years it has changed completely and so hasn't the atmosphere. We have sold out 4 this year and have 5 others over 7000 that not were sellouts out of 12 games so far and we average 6946 (capacity is 7884) . That's pretty **** impressive and a big change from 4-5 years ago. In HE this year, UNH is second at 5569 and you guys third at 5114 so we are about 1400 more than the next best school . (PC averages 1900 to put that 1400 into perspective) This will be the third straight year that BC has lead HE in home gate

If any UML fans are thinking about making the trip to Agganis on 2/22 I have some discounted tickets for sale. I've got a large group going and a few people backed out on me.
