    just was telling mr les about the 3 repeat rule. He also thought they were just uninterested. He wouldn't believe me- no one would be that stupid- until lil-not-so-lil les confirmed it. Body language can be so eloquent.

        I kinda cringe that they're referring to it as a "rule", because it's not why it started. It naturally just evolved that way; it was easy to keep a small section together if everyone was doing the same thing. This coincided with the real first initial boom of students coming to games, and this is what they learned/imitated. It's what their friends learned from them, and what the next class learned, etc. From reading stories that students who came after me were telling, at some point some students who became leaders over in the student section may have become more militant about it, which IMO was shortsighted and dumb.

        Back when I was a student, I and others would come up with cheers and heckles off the cuff, and if the section picked them up then three times made a world of sense (example would be "Daddy's Money" against BU and stuff) because it wasn't something you really were looking to get going for any length of time. But chants like U-M-L, Let's Go Lowell, etc - there's no reason to say them thrice and then cut it off. Let it fill the arena. Let all the Lowell fans get in on it till it's rocking and you know both teams are hearing you.

        It had it's time and place for being a thing, but I'd love to see the student section now break out of it and become more involved.

          The most recent bracketology has a tasty version for Lowell fans ... in Manchester with a rematch against Denver, winner to play UMass/Harvard.

          Man, that would be amazing.

            I’m a bit confused as to why UMass was placed in Manchester and not Providence. Providence is closer to campus and also easier to get to for the alumni in eastern MA.

              He doesn't really explain it here.

I could see the reasoning behind that, as the difference between UMass going to either is only about 20 miles, whereas Quinnipiac is a lot closer to Providence that Manchester. Since Quinnipiac dropped a bit, he probably just left UMass in Manchester, because that's where he had them last week.

                    I think Denver had the better team but we got screwed out of the first goal and it was awfully tight for a long time.

                        Agree with you there. All the tourney talk is great but let's get through the next 7 games first. This weekend is huge. The Friars are currently on the bubble and need these games too.

                              OK local peeps- I need a place to have lunch/dinner at 1'Oclock on a Saturday for 9 people. Main group based in Chelmsford but coming from the north and south to meet. Place needs to take reservations and has to have stuff that doesn't contain garlic. So far Good Thymes and John Ryans have both don't take reservations. Anyone have any ideas?
