    Ahhh, I see that my sarcasm has not landed. What I meant was that I despise that movie and that university, which is nothing more than a toothless and thuggish Boston College in terms of unearned arrogance. The ONLY redeeming point of thy movie is when we are reminded that after they beat Xavier (a school that no longner even has a football team - nice win, lol) they are completely beaten down the next week by the powerful, Bill Mallory led Miami University football program, 66-6*...

    * a result they whine about to this day, claiming it was insensitive for Miami to be so much better than they were immediately following the crash, despite Miami running the ball almost exclusively and playing the third string for the last 3/4 of the game. Sorry we were a legit top-15 team That decade, bros - it could have been a hundy spot or worse. Maybe it is their tears that warm my heart and not my own...


    UNH should try to be Miami football of the 70's and not the Marshall equivalent. Unless you want to sell your academic and moral soul in hopes of winning a DII (yup!) championship in the late 90's just model yourself after the program that is actually legit...

    And yes Greg, I was being ironic.

        No, no love for Marshall. They won their title by eschewing any and all academic standards, serving as a landing spot for every player kicked off a DI team for committing a felony and flouting NCAA rules at every turn. They're not a program for UNH to emulate - don't be fooled by that movie and it's 'feels' Ref! Fortunately I was here today - be careful in the future!

              My prediction in the MBPBEGAM round contest for the Cats going to Orono still in play. :-)
              UNH blows Maine off the ice. Doubt it will be close.

                I'm sure you guys are busy actually watching hockey right now, but I just went to buy tickets to the NU game on your website. Do you seriously charge a $3 per ticket processing fee? That's absurd. It would be cheaper for me to pay for the gas for the two hour roundtrip drive to your ticket office than buy more than two tickets.

                  The beatable force meets the moveable object. So far ...

                    Just buy tickets at the door the night of the game.

                            Y'know ... if this thing is still tied midway through OT, I hope Coach pulls the goalie and goes for it.

                            Be honest, the NRN means something, what's the use of another tie at this point???

                              Well, I decided to watch the third period and, guess what, I watched them blow a two goal lead. Three goals to zip. The season can’t end soon enough.

                              And yes, I meant Matt White, not BC’s Colin White, as if we would have had a chance on him.
