The amount of hate on the Bean Pot and BU in this thread is hilarious. I remember the massive uproar when it was rumoured that the Bean Pot could be moved outside of the area.
Be glad you have it and the fun that can accompany it. I'm sure a lot of places not only in the U.S. would love to have something like this yearly.
This 100%. No, it's not The Cup, but it's a tournament of four games where emotions are running high. We're privileged to have this happen, GUARANTEED, every year in our own back yard. For cryin' out loud, I got four games of hockey, loge seats, for the price of one seat in the highest row of the balcony versus the Habs. It doesn't get much better than that.
For what it's worth, I thought BU played better in general, so congrats to them. I don't have a dog in this fight, but as a Bulldog, I do have an anti-dog - seeing Harvard go down made me smile.
The parity you're used to in the NHL will never happen at the college level, so for better or worse, it's gonna be BU, BU, BU, BC, BU, BU.
