I hate BCU

[RSTuthill]

Understand your position BUT BCU will never bend over and let UConn in the ACC - NEVER
I think you meant that BC helped get UConn into the BE? That's not true - Dave Gavitt loved John Toner the PC/UConn rivalry and wouldn't give two bits what BC thought.
I will never not hate Cuse, Duke, ND, the Yankees and any team LeBron James plays on.

Hockey East.

 

[Derucky]

I hear you, but I no longer hate teams anymore. With the possible exception of ND. I have just outgrown it. BC played a big role in getting UConn into HE. If UConn ever gets into the ACC, BC will play a big role in that for the simple reason that the Eagles are finding it unsustainable being the lone northern outpost in a southern conference. I no longer hate the Yankees, the Pats, Stanford, or South Carolina. In fact, some of the most fun I have had at games is talking to the opponents' fans. Michigan, Boise, Rutgers, you name it.

Wow - I understand you don't want to hate, but BC was the largest factor in the destruction of Big East football, the only major football conference in the northeast. They also, by their own public admission, made sure UConn didn't get into the ACC. They have done NOTHING good for UConn.

 

[RSTuthill]

Longtime UConn fans haven’t forgiven what BC and DeFlippo did to our program. It’s ok to hate BC!

Oh, I don't have a problem with that. Just saying it has becomes a bit of a bore as the decades roll by and moving on is natural. No, I haven't forgotten. Haven't forgotten Bobby Thompson's HR or Larsen's perfect game either. Or Gibson's domination in 1967. But those people aren't there anymore.

I stand with my Bolton guy @RSTuthill. As of today, Peter Karmanos is no longer Public Enemy #1. #UnitedWeStand

 

[huskyjawz]

I awoke this morning afraid that it was all just a wonderful dream, but no it's real!!!!

Oh ... well there ARE exceptions to every rule. I am still processing Karamanos and Bettman. And that Penguins GM who came over to the Whalers who just dismantled them. Traded Ronnie for Zarley or somebody.

yeah, i've kinda lost track for which team, coach, player, league, etc. that i'm expected to hate on here. seems kinda against the idea for sports as entertainment and fun, unless someone thinks hate is fun.
makes aboot as much sense as, well .....

 

[AzHusky]

I will never stop hating Karamanos and Bettman. Those two people caused me to stop watching hockey for many years. It wasn't until six years ago when my grandson started playing that I got back into the sport.

 

[Sky ball]

If you need that statement explained to you, then you are not a UConn fan.

Today felt very, very good.

Huskies 13 - Golden Eagles 3

 

[UCMB88]

October 16th Field Hockey: UConn 2 BC 1
October 27th Men's Ice Hockey: UConn 5 BC 1
October 29th Football: UConn 13 BC 3

Enough said!

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Unbiased? Nope, but I like it anyway

 

[ZooCougar]

The ACC has already begun mulling over unequal distribution of media rights payout.

BCU would no doubt be among the least earning schools if not the least of the entire conference.

They literally bring no added value to the ACC outside of content. Nobody is watching on TV in Boston. Nobody is giving them coverage. They are an afterthought to an afterthought.

 

[Kolumbo]

They are a broken demoralized bunch. Good.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Or Gibson's domination in 1967.

There was nothing underhanded about Gibson's domination in '67. Literally.

LOL

As I write this, I am on a plane. An international flight out of the United States. Boston College football’s loss to UConn, their first such loss in program history, has broken me to the point where I can no longer even be within the same borders as the team that haunts this waking nightmare. Maybe, across the ocean, they can’t hurt me as badly as they did on Saturday afternoon. Deep down, I know I’ll come back to them. But for now, I take solace in my escape.

Weekly Kickoff: Boston College’s loss to UConn was so bad it made me leave the country

There are a lot of emotions to work through right now

I just thoroughly enjoyed losing 45 minutes of time reading their Game Thread. I shouldn't revel in anyone else's misery, but I admit that I did.

Read their game thread. Pure schadenfreude and more than a little deja vu.

Yeah, but he single handedly destroyed the Impossible Dream. The year I graduated and moved to CT to work for Pratt and become a Sox fan to add to my longtime Dodgers allegiance.

I was 10 - the year I became a lifelong Sox fan... They were wheeling in TVs for us to watch the day games in the classroom. Got nothing but respect for Bob Gibson though.

Reading that was almost as much fun as the game itself. But it's clear they don't even know what truly god-awful football looks like, not the way we do after a decade of record setting futility.

This guy can leave the country but he can't escape his thoughts. No solace for you, BCU fan.

you got that right. I live here in Boston and Boston College isn't even mentioned in 11:00 news, late night sports talk on TV, sports talk radio, or water cooler conversations at work or casual sports conversations anywhere else. As far as being an afterthought to an afterthought, that might be giving them too much credit. Boston College isn't on the mental radar or sports conscious at all.

Meanwhile you would have to try hard to not hear anything about the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, or Bruins.

Same here. As a matter of fact, he was not on my radar before then. Guess I was guilty of following only my favorite teams.

In college hockey circles they were always mentioned.
