Well without question, they are much more tolerable.

Hey, I guess that's a compliment

Is it Friday yet?

But we still have LaPlante!

I think it's great that Eggs is back at NU coaching. He was one of my favorite Huskies players back in the day.

My roommate and his girlfriend came in. She goes to UMASS. I say to him "we did it, we beat BU, we're going to the Garden."

The girlfriend goes "Excellent, anyone beating BU is good."

Music to my ears.

I know, I want Friday already. This matchup had to happen after The Beanpot. Too bad it's not for the title.

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

hopefully it will involve at least one 'where is bu?'

hint hint

A BC/NU chant in unison? Do they allow signs at the Garden? That would be a good one...

This thread is so tame and respectful compared to the NU BU thread. Disappointing but not surprising.

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'd generally agree, but the day after the Beanpot when a BC alum I work with came in and flipped me the double bird, I briefly reconsidered this notion. I've since recovered from that fragile state and it's nothing but love for you BC fans.

BC Sucks
Your student section is weak compared to ours.
The only reason it was loud when you scored at the beanpot was tons of older people sitting at the lower level with no affiliation to BC other then they decided to be a BC fan because BC is good at hockey and BU sucks worse showed up and rooted for you guys. (Probably will be the same case come Friday)

Except we brought the most students to the Garden for the Beanpot this year...despite having half the enrollment of both BU and NU AND being the farthest away of all the schools from the Garden.

Try again!

More fans and less noise == weak.
And BC's enrollment is around 10,000 compared to Northeasterns 15,000 for a 5 year program where at any time around 1/4 of the school is not on campus. Not too far off

Well I'm sure the NU students sound a lot louder from the NU student section than the BC students do...

But hey, I guess it wouldn't be a thread involving NU without at least 12 NU fans talking about how great their fans are.

BC - 9,099 Undergraduates
NU - 15,339 Undergraduates
Just to get the real numbers out there and no one has to guess.
Let BC worry about getting its fans there and loud. I'm sure the NU DogPound will be big and boisterous as well.

And to everyone watching the game on TV..

I'll be honest... without BU there and a chance to play Fanboy Bingo with the NU Dogpound it just won't be the same. Maybe we can come up with a new board for the hillbillies from UNH since they're in the other semifinal?

In regards to fanbases that find each other tolerable. Let me just say that after dealing with the UMass "fans" this weekend, especially on Saturday night, I'll take NU fans, UNH hillbillies, or even the most limp-wristed BU fanboy out there over those ashats from UMass. Wow are they ********.
