But that still doesn't excuse lossess to Harvard, Princeton, Colgate...... that's due to Cornell's preferred style of play..
And those teams knowing what it takes to beat Cornell

Here's a question: based on the boards, it looked like UMass and AIC were the co-hosts of the Springfield regional. What happens if AIC beats RIT in the AHA final?* There's no way they send two four-band teams to play in Springfield, right?
*Do not say "according to YATC an AIC win would have eliminated UMass" even if it is true.

AIC couldn't have gone to Springfield since the site is their home rink. They probably would've played BU or BC

That I don't know and someone more knowledgeable like the brother Wodon could probably answer that. What I do know is that BU won and we could've seen a matchup with them and Cornell in the FF. Alas...

Tukper with a penalty and Jack Malone has a high stick goal that is immediately waived off. BC challenges and the no goal call stands. Duplessis made an amazing save before that sequence to keep it scoreless.

QU was probably the better team today, but I would’ve had a hard time stomaching them getting back to the FF. And what better way than for a Cornellian to end their season.

Yeah, no tears from me. Somehow their guy Fillion missed a wide open net that would’ve made it 5-3 and pretty much sealed the game. Seems like something that would happen to us in the quarterfinals.

Ahem. Michigan’s band plays 2 songs on repeat and is generally annoying, and automatons, but fine sound-wise. We have the best band, except for the recent things Greg detailed recently.

Talk about deja vu: MSU down late, trying to get a goal and gets called for a somewhat suspect slash (although a bit more obvious than Walsh's penalty) with 2 minutes left.

It was terrible at Springfield, especially when Maine played Cornell and both teams had their pep bands there. Part of what is supposed to make the NCAA tournament special is the atmosphere, and pep bands are a big part of creating that atmosphere. They kept playing canned crap over the PA system and hardly gave the bands a chance to play.Jeff Hopkins '82

I dashed off an email to their rink staff that made me feel better, but it may be time to start a campaign or association. I’m serious.

I’m more regionally biased. I pretty much hate all the western schools and BU and of course our league rivals.

40 years here, too. It is.
It's primarily the self-absorption of Bostonians. BC students are likely to be locals. BU gets a large contingent of kids who didn't get into Ivies, so the solution of Boston Idiocy has been diluted.
But BC also carries itself with an inbred entitlement which its real world standing in no way warrants. BC is Duke for the physically unattractive.

I don’t put much stock in rankings but according to the latest us news, BC is higher than among others, NYU,Wisconsin, Tufts,BU, Lehigh, Rochester, William and Mary, Brandeis, GW. It’s not Quinnipiac.
And just behind USC and Texas.
I always thought that the safety school chant was only funny if yelled at Yale or Harvard.

Wow. Ad hominem much? My experience on bc’s campus was a good looking group. My experience with people who call others physically unattractive is they generally should buy a mirror.
Ad hom is attacking the poster. I was attacking the people of Chestnut Hill. Obviously, any friend or blood relative of yours who has attended BC is stunningly beautiful, and would be a New England 10 and a North Carolina... let's say... 6 (ebullient praise is one thing but let's not get carried away).
As for the mirror comment, if you are inferring I am in any way the standard of typical BC pulchritude, things there are in worse shape that any of us feared.
BC is like many monied schools academically: the jocks are rockheads and the regular student body is... varied. The same can be said for Texas, Stanford, and dare I say Cornell itself.
And that's fine. Not everybody has to be Goethe. The world needs finance bros too.

For what it's worth, BC's Class of 2026 is purportedly only 29.25% New Englanders (couldn't tell you about Bostonians in particular) and 30.45% from the Mid-Atlantic states: [www.bc.edu]Chris '03

It is? I’ve been following college hockey for forty years (oy vey!). Never experienced it from the BC group.
40 years here, too. It is.
It's primarily the self-absorption of Bostonians. BC students are likely to be locals. BU gets a large contingent of kids who didn't get into Ivies, so the solution of Boston Idiocy has been diluted.
But BC also carries itself with an inbred entitlement which its real world standing in no way warrants. BC is Duke for the physically unattractive.
I don't like BC either but agree with basically none of this. The BC SUPERFAN is an intolerable bandwagon stereotype.
Opinions vary.
Yes. Opinions vary. But BC kids being likely to be local isn't true. I'd bet Cornell has more NYers than BC has kids from Mass. as a point of comparison.
Meanwhile, Cornell's Class of 2025 is 31.7% from New York State alone (plus another 18.6% from the other Mid-Atlantic states): [irp.dpb.cornell.edu]

Ok but still not clear why BC fans are so annoying.

IIRC, BC was the one Jesuit college that didn't take in displaced students from Loyola University New Orleans in Fall 2005 after Katrina.

Not a fair comparison, since much of Cornell is a NY State institution.

you have to understand that greg processes the world through a cumulation of prejudices and loathings - no subject too small, no umbrage too large - and has no idea how crazy it sounds to third parties when he turns on the opinion hose. most people just nod as they back away and i do this.arugula

Fwiw my friend the BC grad is a union organizer. I guess that’s the opposite of a finance bro. A bit closer to the Jesuit tradition.

Correct. Ives is corporate but the extension programs are heavily union based. I am a union lawyer and when I was at ILR in the 80s I think it was more corporate.

Great game but the piped on music is awful. Are we at a baseball stadium? Michigan has the best band. Where are they?
Springfield was just as bad. Someone needs to tell these AHL rinks that we want to hear the band(s), not their piped in noise.
Tell Denver to send a band, too.
