Recent history shows that BU hits a holiday slump, and whether they do this
year or not won't do anything for what I really think about this team.
Gotta wait until the beanpot.
 
However, I'd like to think that the Terriers are on a cycle of about three
years throughout the 90's when it comes to the big dance:
 
 
(1)   1993: Defeated in semifinals
(2)   1994: Defeated in finals
(3)   1995: Win Championship in backyard (more or less)
 
(1)   1996: Defeated in semifinals
(2)   1997: Defeated in finals
(3)   1998: ....in their backyard again (more like their kitchen!)
 
 
Dunno about winning the "triple crown" tho this year, as both BC and
Northeastern have shown the ability to play big games this year (sorry,
Harvard) and that HEA tourney looks to be real tough, especially if
Merrimack can pick the pace back up.

Since BU dropped football, does that mean Silber fumbled?
Real grass at Nickerson for the *real* football! Yippee!
