that's because while you may hate us i would say most of us like you and want you to succeed, just not friday night

I don't really "hate" BC as much as I like beating them because they are crosstown and are a big measuring stick for how good our team is.

I will be attending the fan contests at the TD Garden this weekend. My first appearance at a BC game this season. Hopefully the entire hockey team shows up to support the fans, as I know it will be a tough match for all of us. I'll have my scorecard out to mark down big chants, cutting putdowns, and well timed screams. I'm generally considered more of a finesse fan, but am willing to get physical with any opposing fan that comes into my personal space. I am even considering the purchase of an ironic t-shirt to bring my fandom to the next level.

And to everyone watching the game on TV..

BC had a larger student section by a section and a half...and was very loud...but, we kept our shirts on, we are weak...I think the student section was pretty loud with that OT goal, or did the deafening quiet at the NU student section not allow you to hear?

Case_04 I can't rep on USCHO mobile but that was a great post.

As far as this fan stuff goes...BC students have been great this year, it's come a long way from even just a few years ago. I am proud of them. And NU has set the standard in Hockey East since the construction of Agganis& demise of Section Eight.

Can't someone else come up with a different fighting words topic? This" our fans are better than yours" business is too BU fanboyish for my taste.

Let me give it a shot-

1. Oleksiak is a goon, discuss

2. NU fans will likely refer to BC not being from Boston, despite half of their team coming from Canada, and most of BC's coming from New England. Discuss

3. While Wade McLeod is more productive than Isaac MacLeod, Benn Ferriero > Cody. Discuss

4. With BU not in the four team field, can we get a PA announcer who can pronounce names correctly and say the right school name? Discuss, and cite examples.

Agreed...the Doghouse is great, but the BC student section is slowly becoming their equals, and thats all because of you Joe (and Salzano and others)...Last year BC/Maine students sections were next to each other...Wonder how the set up will be this year...And it will be intresting to have Merrimack at the Garden, they seem like a noisy bunch....welcome to the big leagues!

1) Will you guys wear your 2011 Beanpot tshirts?
1A) Will you wear shirts?

2) Why will your top 3 scorers be 24 after 4 years at NU & 25 when (if) they graduate? Are they members of the Chris Bourque or Matt Gilroy all-stars team or something?

Re: #1 Boston College vs. #6 Northeastern - HEA Semifinals - 3/18

Well done, Claver. And on it goes. A couple more questions from me:

5. Will we get the exact same highlight video as we do every year, with the exact same song?


6. I hear all the time about how clever NU fans are, but if they were really that clever, wouldn't they have made "no T OT" a female student tradition, while the dudes kept their shirts on?

7. Since we probably won't be lucky enough to get a new PA announcer, odds that the first goal is called a "Boston University Goal..." ?

8. Is Greg Cronin still allowed to text?
9. Will Cronin try to hit one of our players?
10. Will you shake our hands?

Re: #1 Boston College vs. #6 Northeastern - HEA Semifinals - 3/18

I'm pretty sure they have Cronin on one of those pre-paid plans now, just to make sure there's no more "oops" moments.

On a related note, I am seeing now why I banished myself from USCHO during the regular season. This is way too distracting. My productivity is down to 0.

Thinking of such clever topics for no one to talk about really kills productivity

11) Does Jerry York know how to text?
11a) Does Jerry York own a cellphone?
11b) Is Jerry York aware that the cellphone exists?

12) Will Superfans blend in with the seats?

13) Will half the Superfans know what hockey is prior to the game? "Is it like football/basketball on ice?"

14) Were any of the members of the DogHouse alive when Northeastern last won anything?

Hey now, they happened to be 2009 Beanpot semi-final champions. All of my Northeastern friends would not let me forget that, even after a conference and national title. Though they seem to talk about it less now after February. :-)

Re: #1 Boston College vs. #6 Northeastern - HEA Semifinals - 3/18

I believe they have also won (consistently I might add) the "last BC loss in late January and/or February before BC wakes up and destroys everyone" Trophy...

15) Were any Superfans awake the last time BC won something?
