Things That Don't Suck About BC

During the past three seasons, I have made lists of the reasons why BC sucks. You can find my most recent one at that link and it is extremely accurate. This week I am taking on a different angle - things that don't suck about BC...

Monday Polls and Weekly Awards

The weekly awards and polls came out yesterday afternoon and I'm lazy so I'm just getting to this now. Below is my breakdown of the USCHO poll and links to other weekly awards and rankings. Happy Hate BC week everyone.

1. BC(49)- They play BU this weekend as their coach approaches some fake overall win record. We all know York's wins in the CCHA(from his time at Bowling Green) don't count. It 's like D-III out there.
2. UNH(1)- The good news is that they escaped their Colorado road trip with a tie and a win. The bad news is that Casey DeSmith looked very beatable all of a sudden.
3. Minnesota- They have a weak strength of schedule so far so it is tough to know what type of team they are until they start facing some tough competition.
4. Miami
5. Denver- They blew a 4-0 lead at home to UNH giving up hat tricks to two separate players in the process the night after losing to Yale in OT.
6. Notre Dame
7. North Dakota
8. Union- They beat Penn State wooooaaaahhhh
9. BU- Nice 4-0 win over a St. Lawrence team they should have beat and did. They continue to beat teams that they should beat. Their next 3 games are against the top 2 teams in the nation though which makes it a crucial stretch to get atleast 1 or 2 wins out of it.
10. Western Michigan- Still one of my Frozen Four picks. Granted they need to get out of BU's regional because the Terriers aren't going to lose in the second half.

Meme Monday: BC Week Edition

This week's Meme Monday comes to you as your Terriers prepare for the annual home and home against Boston College.  We've got a bunch of good ones for you this week, including a sizable amount of BC hate. Let's get it started!

First up, we have a new series that we like to call "Serious Terriers"

ATTENTION ALL ALUMNI LOCATED IN THE NYC & WASHINGTON DC AREA

On this Friday (Nov. 30th), the BU alumni associations for NYC and DC are having a BU vs BC watch party combined with an ugly sweater-holiday party combo at a local bar in their respective areas. For a fee of $10 (no surprise), you get a (1) drink, food, and a chance to enter the drawing held at the end of the night. Also if you dress in the ugliest sweater you win a prize.

For any of the current students that are from NYC or DC and are going to be around that weekend in their home cities and above the age of 21. Just enter the bar as a rando and watch the game. Guarantee it will be on many TVs and you get to watch it with fellow BU Mens Hockey fans. Sounds like a win-win.

Just go to the alumni website and look for events tab and specifically the Nov. 30th date. Click the respective city and fill out the information and pay the money. You can bring a guest too and they cost the same. You'll probably see me if you know me for Friday at the Village Pourhouse in NYC. Come say HI and quack like QuackQuack does.
