Originally posted by Scarlet View PostA sentence kids today would not understand. I thought you went out after Game 1.

Sports marketing Director at the time told me she got a call at 4am Saturday from him telling her a bunch of guys were on the road heading out there and could she help them get tickets. She called Larry Fudge (remember Larry Fudge??) and he got them tickets. Did I misremember that was just for Game 3 or were you part of a second group of fans that went out there?
I honestly don't remember how we ended up with tickets - it might have been through Larry. I think we heard there would be SRO going on sale, so we wanted to get there in time to get in line.
We chanted "Georgia Tech" quite a bit during the game, since their B-Ball team had been upset by the Yellow Jackets. The locals were not amused. Coming back from down 3-1 to win 5-3 was SO rewarding.
After the game, we went back to the hotel where everyone was staying, just long enough to celebrate with the team when they arrived, and to ask Larry to make sure we wouldn't lose out on FF tickets, in case they were going to be going on sale Monday morning. Then we drove 15 hours home...and I got a speeding ticket in NY :-(. Then made almost the exact same trip to Detroit on the fan buses the next weekend.
Good times...BU Hockey: The trophy case is once again growing

Originally posted by chickod View PostI'm not getting this because I'm in the wrong frame of reference. Heck, when I was a student we still had the guy playing the ORGAN in the top corner of Walter Brown (by the balcony entrance)!!!
I remember the guy playing the organ. Either he was an awful organist, or the acoustics were bad. Also, he'd only play the organ a couple of times during the game at odd, unpredictable moments.Last edited by buoldtimer; 03-21-2017, 01:30 PM.if you walk with Jesus, he's gonna save your soul, you gotta keep the devil way down in the hole

BU 5-4-1 incl. against 6 top-15 ranked teams, plus 2 against Northeastern that was playing like a ranked team in the second half.
ND 6-1 against 4 top-15 ranked teams, plus 2 against #20 Omaha.
They're 6-4 with two losses at WMU, home to Omaha, and Duluth in the NCHC final. The shutout win over DU in the NCHC semi is their first win over a good team (or one who made the tournament) since Dec. 31 at Union. On the season, UND is 3-11-2 against teams that made the NCAA Tournament. BU is 5-5-1.Last edited by brassbonanza; 03-21-2017, 01:04 PM.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, Sasquatch (an attorney ) has been there forever. He's still there (with a little less chest hair). I won't mention his name in case we don't want to mention names here...

This UND team doesn't seem to be as deep nor as high-end talented as its recent predecessors. Frankly, if this game was anywhere but Fargo I'd feel more confident in BU's chances. Despite UND not having a great home record this season, I still think they'll be very tough to beat when playing in front of its extended "home" crowd.

BU is only 7-6-1 in its last 14 games, which is also when Nik Olsson got injured. BU is 12-3-1 with Olsson in the lineup; 11-8-2 without. I firmly believe the team has missed Olsson's impact as the team's most physical forward and as a leader.
