Reason #4

Today is one of the best days all summer as the 2012-2013 Men's Hockey schedule was finally released. If that isn't enough to get you all jazzed up about the season, I'm giving you another reason in my top 5 list why you should all be more than excited for this season.

Reason #5

Reason #4 - BC Sucks

Oh you know, just the most obvious blog post of all time.


For real, BC had its year. It did its thing and won a championships (cool story, bro) but we still beat them at home...twice, against what the nation believed was the best college hockey goaltender...twice.

BC may have current bragging rights on us, but honestly what's better than that? What's better than a rivalry when one team has something to prove more than it usually does? The rivalry is going to be better than ever this year, especially now that the Natty Championships are equal in number.

But in all actuality, aside from that fact that they are Newton fricken University, here's a list of why BC sucks.

- Their fans suck. Evidence of course is present from the dates of 11/13/11 and 12/2/11. Possible reasons for that are, 1) football takes priority, 2) no one can find the rink in Boston, 3) the students picked the wrong school and are completely embarrassed by that fact and thus never attend games unless it's in a piss colored teeshirt and not a jersey because why would they spend good money supporting a school like that.

- No Dumoulin, no Kreider, no Cross. But don't worry, they still have Lil Milzy who will probably get off to a crap ass start again, so bad that BC has to touch upon all of its goaltenders, but will be consistent at the end of the season and thusly all of college hockey will praise him like the second coming of baby Jesus (well, the Catholic schools anyways). The fans (and by fans I mean us) will enjoy this season with Steven Whitney at the helm, the Eagle version of Ryan Kesler/Sidney Crosby/PK Subban. That way when we go visit Conte we can watch two sports for the price of one.

- Jerry York is a horse's ass...Jerry York drinks decaf...Jerry York is too concerned with team mass to coach...all other Jerry York jokes are true and applicable.

- Their band sucks. Unless you think playing Every Time We Touch over and over and over again is 1) pleasant to listen to, 2) appropriate college hockey music, 3) appropriate music at your institution.

- Their T storms suck. I'm sorry, when's the last time you ACTUALLY stopped BU fans from getting to the Beanpot? Stop trying to sell that to everyone. Also, when's the last time the MBTA sent an empty train to wait at the end of the B line so it could pick up all your fans from a ridiculous away game? But you know if getting to the game...5 and a half minutes before it starts is your thing, by all means go right ahead. I'm sure Friar fans could give you some tips.

- Just for reiteration: you are neither in Boston nor a college.

In a completely non-biased way though, there is no reason for BU not to continue to dominate BC this year. As we've proved, we can beat Parker Milner. The only game BU lost to BC when he was playing was the Beanpot and that was only by one goal in the last seconds of an overtime period. Secondly, there isn't a single guy on this team that has won a Beanpot...if that isn't motivation enough than nothing is. Thirdly, let us reminisce on the away games last year, the games that the team couldn't stop talking about. The BC games were where the BU fans finally took over and made Conte our house. That is going to happen this year...and it'll be even better. Sorry to rattle your concentration BC. If you want some classy pointers on how to treat away fans, please talk to Northeastern.


Dear BC,

Hope you had a nice time last year. Please enjoy that National Championship. But more importantly, enjoy your hangover this year. Can't beat a team full of mad dogs who have nothing more to do than prove to the world once again why BU hockey IS college hockey.

Love,
Terrier Nation
