Vermont at Boston College Nov. 14th & 15th

Re: Vermont at Boston College Nov. 14th & 15th

When did I say I played for BC? We're all fans here of our respective programs. UVM's program has done nothing. BC's has. Why are BC fans supposed to be impressed again? That is the issue at hand here. Nice try to deflect the fact that UVM has never won anything.

It also doesnt take much guts to cheer on a team that is always good.

Great point, BC alums (and BU alums along with Michigan, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Denver alums) should turn their back on their alma mater because their team is too good and it takes no guts to root for them. Gutless fans all those alums and students are, I tell ya. The real brave souls are the turds that root for UVM. Hear hear!!

Oh, that's just rich!!!!!!

Lay off the ganja buddy.

(Side note: my first hockey games at BC were the very first games of the season following the year of a sub-.500 team from the previous season and a program in a long slump. Go preach your garbage to someone else you gutless clown).

BC's Grrrrrrreat! Now go eat your corn flakes and drink a little more Kool-aid. After you get your fat lazy arse out and pump your own gas. Or are you BC fans so pretentious that you can't get your wittle hands dirty.

If BC fans pumped their own gas, it would eliminate jobs for UVM fans. So you can thank us for the charity and our dedication to helping the economic recovery.

It was in the preseason coach's interviews done every year prior to the start of the season. It was on the Hockey east website. Not sure if you can still find it.

Nice try, clown.

From reports the day after the HE Media Day:

“(Muse) is day by day,” said head coach Jerry York. “(Tuesday) we had a short practice and took some shots. It’s not back to the form we’d like to see him, but he’s still moving and flexible. I think as the year progresses, if he holds up he’ll be more athletic.”

Why should I take away someone's job? With these tough economic times, I'm more than willing to do my part and pay a little extra so that those of us who won't have the privilege of getting a degree from BC can have a little bit of income.

You should have tried a little harder on your SATs methinks. But that's neither here nor there.
 
Re: Vermont at Boston College Nov. 14th & 15th

Not only did York never say that, nobody ever reported it. Initial reports had Muse out through November with some late summer reports saying early November. Never did anyone ever even speculate 2010 in a credible publication.
 
Re: Vermont at Boston College Nov. 14th & 15th

Correct. I knew it was wrong from the moment the elephant-walker posted it.

The progression was rather funny. Credible reports after surgery said along the lines that he might miss a few games. Then someone here with no credible knowledge of the situation said, he might miss more than that. Another poster took that to another thread and said he might miss a few months. All of a sudden, I read it on the internet, it must be true that Muse is out until March and may never play again and if he dies, he's giving his eyes to Stevie Wonder and his spleen to Ferris Bueller.

Ummm... This is all quite educational, not to mention entertaining as hell and although I really don't mind pumping my own gas I'll do what I can to contribute to our countries economic recovery..... well... I've got two for Sunday's game that I'm not using if anyone is interested...... red seats, face value and all that.
Now back to the flamefest!

The success of a college hockey program is not only based on how many NCAA championships you have.

So if BC doesnt win the NCAA's this year it means they "have done nothing"? So that means that last year BC did nothing according to your logic.

I would add 'conference championships' into measuring how successful a team is. BC did nothing last year, that's correct. If BC doesn't win a conference or national championship this year, they will have 'done nothing,' that's also correct.

I'm confused. What is your argument? I'll take the bait - what measures success, in your mind? Moral victories? Did UVM lead the nation in most babies kissed last year?

If you don't win any hardware, what exactly is there to hang your hat on in measuring a season? BC isn't Merrimack or UVM. As the best college hockey program of the last decade, we have loftier goals than just making the national tournament or something.

Agreed, but you'd be hard pressed to find any measure of success by which UVM tops BC.... wins, conference titles, NCAA appearances, Frozen Four appearances, regular season titles...

That's not to say UVM doesn't have a very good team this year with the potential to go out and win the league, but it's fair to say that they haven't proven anything yet. I'm impressed by the Catamounts' split @ Denver and win over BC to start the year, but I'm not convinced that a postseason in which Vermont got swept by Lowell at home, then beat Yale and Air Force, suddenly ushers them into the upper echelon of NCAA hockey.

regarding a single season, when you get down to the last couple games it's hit or miss. games that on paper you should win hands down (bc v. msu, for example) can shock the hell out of you. also the expectations that a team takes into a season help set the bar on what is considered a success or not. so you take degrees of success for a season. a better example is looking at a class, or running seasons.

after nate left early following the 07 title, i don't think anyone really thought they'd repeat. but another trip to the ncaa tournament was certainly expected. so last year was probably a "done nothing" season - absolutely.

no matter how you slice it though, over the past decade bc's program has been THE hands down most successful program in college hockey. 2 national championships. multiple trips to the frozen four. then enough conference accolades that they blend into the background and don't get their rightful notice.

(have to mention, great thread here :p )

true.. for instance, not having your season cancelled for wide scale sexual deviance is definitely a banner hanging event in burlington nowadays.

..hey, they're not called University run yer mouth.. er Vermont for nothing..
..i'm just high on Maple Syrup :)
 
Re: Vermont at Boston College Nov. 14th & 15th

I think we should give every team banners. It would really help everyone's morale and create a much more positive college hockey environment. In fact, I find it unfair that we can only crown one national champion every year. How great would it be if everyone could win a national championship every year? Then no team would ever feel inferior to any other team. Banners all around!
