I despise Geno and UConn as well

When I was a student at BC I was in the band that played at hoops and hockey games. We didn’t typically play at women’s hoops games, with the exception of the UConn game. Of course, since we were bad and BC is about an hour from Storrs, the crowd for that game was all UConn fans. So, I’m in my own home stadium getting harassed by a bunch of UConn fans. So nah, not a fan of that tool.

P.S. I looked back and in 1995 UConn beat BC 86-34, that is probably the game I’m referring to 😣

Wait. There was a band for the hockey games!?! Did they play ‘Cold As Ice’? What else were staples?
It must be a yankee thing 😉

Yep, college hockey is a massive deal in Boston. There’s a huge tournament each year at the Boston garden/fleet center called the beanpot, BC, Boston university, Harvard, Northeastern. All of those teams are very good in hockey (yes, even Harvard). BC has won several championships in hockey. We played the same tunes as basketball games, though, nothing too exciting.

If I can’t get Murphy in with 2 MVPs then I can’t give Mauer the benefit of the doubt.
I had no idea that Beltre had those numbers, definitely should get consideration and that’s why I asked the question.
I feel like Utley was just a really good, maybe even great, role player.

Murphy would have been a first ballot HOF for me too.

What did you think of the Rowe/Geno interview, Professor?

I think the new metrics may skew HOF selections going forward.
I mean, what the heck even is WAR? Then you have bWAR, fWAR...
Maybe I should just end my rant with a good ol, GET OFF MY LAWN!!

I look at WAR sometimes but it is not the be all, end all that the media drums it up to be. It is a very complicated formula and not every website uses the same formula. I usually use Baseball Reference.
