i don't agree about the conceit here.  i consider it an upset any
time michigan gets beat.  i also consider it an upset any time bu
gets beat.  i think it's a statement to the consistent quality of
the programs.
 
i interpreted jack parker's comment in the same way.  he runs a
quality program and probably expects to play even with anyone
in the country.  therefore, a loss to anyone constitutes an upset.
 
that's my take on it.
 
i'd like to congratulate the bu players and fans on a great victory
last night.  best of luck in the final.

: "I don't think there's any question that it's a big upset because they've been
: the number one team all year long
: and the defending national champion," said BU coach Jack Parker. "But I think

: >From me:
:
: Wow, are we just a little conceited here.  After their performance in the North
: Country in late November,
: I would barely call any BU loss an upset.  They do have a good team, but
: despite Jack's big head,
: he is not God's gift to hockey.
