Before the BU-Lowell game this past weekend, Jack Parker was being
interviewed by one the UML broadcasters during the pre-game.  The
broadcaster made a comment about how he was a bit surprised that in the
history of HE, BU had only won the HE regular season title once.  Jack's
reply surprised the commentators, and probably many listeners.  Coach
Parker said how the regular season title has never really been a goal for
his teams.  He's always used the season to get a good spot for the HE
tourney, and then winning the tourney is the goal.  This since, up until
recently, winning the tourney was the only sure-shot way of getting in the
the NC$$, where winning THAT title is always the ultimate goal.
