Why do you hate BC?

I’m a uconn fan. I just find it funny that tools such as yourself bring academics into a football discussion. My feeling is it’s because the team is one of the worst in the entire nation so you turn to that. I’ve read many comments in this thread about BC being, “pretentious” but I’m not sure many around here realize the uconn fans are the exact same way. Keep tapping yourself on the shoulder for saving on the cost of your education though!

It's fair to compare academics, cost, housing, cheerleaders, cafeteria food, libraries, or the number of NCAA championships on this board. We are not limited to discussing football X's and O's.

Played a hand in not only eventually destroying the Big East by starting the exodus with Miami & VTech, but keeping us marooned in non-P5 purgatory with the c0ckbl0cks. Flipper openly admitted that he wanted BCU to control New England's recruiting ground. Because a little Northeast competition is just too much for them. They'll always be pure scum in my eyes for that.

Plus they're a Boston sports team, and I've always hated them all.

Played a hand my ass. They changed the landscape of college sports forever by changing conferences when it didn't make geographical sense for $, ie, sold out. The BEAST, despite the financial and political forces that be were 5-3 in BCS games, and the ACC couldn't win one! All hype, no substance. WV went video game on Oklahoma and Clemson. They ranked on the BEAST, looted their coaches, and destroyed it because the other conferences couldn't believe the BEAST was still competing with them despite being the smallest major conference with the least $ and only 8 frigging teams!
Uconn made a major bowl. BC will never make one! Barkley tried to take the BEAST down in basketball, and Uconn won one in his face! Then, Louisville won one as part of the BEAST. Villanova has since won one. 4 NC for Uconn, and BC will never be relevant in basketball. At least we won something! They've never won , despite all their money and ignorant arrogance. They still never got over when we beat them 19 straight in basketball. They destroyed the BEAST, screwed Uconn, and themselves from a winning perspective. Sold out for $!
 
The best basketball team BCU ever had was led by guys that couldn't get in to UConn. But they woof about academics.

So the thread is about why do you hate BC. You bring it to football over the last year or so. You are not a UCONN fan and don't belong in this conversation. You are the typical BC jerk that I have dealt with all these years. You have proven my point with your stupid trolling. Go away with your jack ass head coach Adazzio.

If you read the ACC boards, BC is the most hated school in the ACC. Southerners don't like Yankee Catholics who take and never give to the conference. So BC is #1 in one category.
 
ACC.

They essentially intentionally destroyed our program out of some misguided attempt to have sole possession of the recruiting hotbed that is New England, rather than developing a natural rivalry that would benefit both programs.

Which makes them both horrible AND dumb.

Agree 100%.
 
Their campus always has a faint scent of corn dogs in the air. Their womenfolk look like carnival people.
 
I hate BC because they are everything I want UConn to be, except in hoops!

ACC member
Location- Boston > Storrs/Hartford
National prestige- they always get mentioned with ND, Stanford, NW, Duke & Vandy.
Hockey - I'm a hockey fan and I believe we will compete with them with Cav as coach.
Baseball- they're in the ACC, we would soar in the ACC in baseball
Private School > Public School- CT is full of morons running our state. Pathetic state laws and little support.
Stadium- BC on campus - college football belongs on campus. WTF are we doing in East Hartford?
Fenway Park > Yankee Stadium - Fenway is a great neighborhood for MLB - YS is located in a ghetto!
 
Many BC students and even some alumni often look down at students/alumni from other regional colleges. MIT/Harvard are nerds to them. Northeastern students are too working class for them. BU students, to BC students, are those who couldn't get into college elsewhere. BC alumni also look down at UConn.

BC students/alumni too often think they are smarter, better looking, more athletic, more successful than anyone else. UConn's proper response: beat the pants off of them this weekend! Our fellow students/alumni from the Boston region will be quite happy if we do.

The whole ACC issue was the last straw for me

The only thing I like about BC was their old soccer coach Benny Brewster - back in the 80's a bunch of us were up there for a BC/UConn mens soccer match and we were giving the BC team a bunch of crap at half time - Benny came over to us and said - "God I wish I had fans like UConn has". We strutted like peacocks. About 10 years later, during a UConn Mens Soccer tournament game in Storrs, the asst coach for the Revolution was sitting with us and who comes up and plunks down? Benny - we reminded him of that time 10 years ago and damn if he didn't remember and his overall take is that BC fans are fair weather at best and he loves the UConn fan base.

There is really nothing to like about BC - yeah they have good hockey and I do love Boston. As someone else said, they screwed Al Skinner, basically drove Gary Williams away (I do like the man, I'm in the minority) and told Benny Brewster to pound sand. BC will always be the door mat of the ACC. They don't belong in that conference - UConn does. They know it and will do everything in their power to keep UConn out. The best thing UConn has going for it is that BC is a pimple on the ACC's arse and that eventually their voice will be meaningless.

I can't help but think that the ACC knows it made a mistake with BC and Pitt and now - L'ville
 
Hatred is a bit strong. For me dislike would be better. For me it stems from college hockey in the 1960's and my days as an undergrad at Clarkson University when Clarkson and BC were perennial national powers. In those days everyone was in the ECAC and the eastern championship was ALWAYS in Boston and the Boston schools controlled eastern college hockey and they made deals with the Ivy League.

Yeah, then there was the ACC, but I would have been much more outraged if our Attorney General had not been so complicit in the lawsuit.

Conference realignment

I know their fans are arrogant, but I laugh at that stuff. Not sure why they think they're some athletic powerhouse, but they tend to have a much bigger opinion about their athletic greatness than everyone else does about them, and I find that a tad bit naive. Although I suppose even their own opinion about themselves as taken a hit in recent years

I used to check the ACC boards. From what I saw:

1) The old ACC people don't like that Syracuse was invited, but they're not hostile to Syracuse. Maybe they see some redeeming qualities.

2) They hate the BC invitation. They question BC's value.

3) They never even mention Pitt. Southwestern Pennsylvania State University is the red headed step-child that is ignored and unloved, but no one really hates them.

I'm pretty much indifferent to BC. I was really young when the Big East separation went down, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Am I jealous that they're in the ACC? You bet. But they are what they are in that conference, a perennial cellar dweller in everything but hockey.

Trust us old folks. The Big East was a fun football conference and there was nothing better than Big East basketball with:

UConn
Syracuse
Pitt
Georgetown
St. John's
Louisville
ND
Cincinnati
Villanova

The basketball tourney at MSG was insane. At it's peak, it may have been the best sporting event in the U.S. It was top 5 for sure.

And then a few schools became greedy, selfish backstabbers. Basketball really took off after BC left. They were dead weight. But their early backstabbing started the whole collapse.

Absolutely.

But here's the funny thing; out of the schools in the list above that defected, can you name even one of them that is better off today than they were with the Big East?

I can't. Yes, they're making more money, but their athletic programs have all suffered. You could make the argument that Syracuse has been the least affected of the bunch, but even they were stronger from a basketball perspective in the Big East:

Syracuse - slightly worse off or about even
BC - much worse off except for hockey which is unaffected by ACC conference
ND - unaffected in olympic sports
Louisville - slightly worse off
Pitt - MUCH worse off
WVU - (forced into the move) worse off...now the fifth best team in a conference instead of best team from football standpoint
St. John's - completely irrelevant now
Georgetown - much worse off
Villanova - perhaps the only winner. The top school in their new conference vs. the 5th best in their old one

So from all that greed, there was only one winner in the whole bunch...

Good points, but sadly we too are in that "much worse off" category. Although I'm still optimistic we'll improve our situation, I can't imagine being better off than we were in the old BEAST

Even the football conference would have been great with just a little more patience.

The bottom line, the ACC and Miami along with BC & Cuse tried to destroy the Big East and they hoped they would move in and grab all the TV money. They destroyed the conference, but are yet to gain all the money and exposure from the Northeast that they desired
 
Soccer is for kids not tough enough to play football. That's the problem with our fan base, they bring up meaningless sports to say we belong in a P5 conference. It's 80% about football and 20% men's hoops and nothing else. We suck in both and we don't have a TV market that any P5 conference wants having been passed over multiple times.

Let's focus on growing the AAC by bringing in Boise and BYU, San Diego St and Colorado St. Strength in numbers and lobby for an 8 team playoff.
