zippyfan34 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Not a big hockey fan but am at home rooting for the MAC's Redhawks. They just took a 2-1 lead with 7 minutes to go. Hoping they can hang on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Go Rehawks! They're now up 3-1 with under 4 minutes to play!(This serves to make me mad about the crazy fact that we're not meeting in football AGAIN this year!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Boston U scored 2 goals in the final one and one-half minutes to send the game into overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Boston U won 4-3 in overtime. Oh well, great, nerve-racking game. We'll bring the MAC a national championship on the pitch next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDZip Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 What a gut punch game for Miami (has a MAC team ever won a National Title in any sport? Someone had to somewhere along the line, didn't they?). Tough loss in a title game, they can join Zips soccer in 86 as runners-up. A small bit of irony even though it was hockey (and not against us) but they were up by two with less than a minute to go and were finally beaten on a "bank shot" (deflected off of one of their players).

A small bit of irony even though it was hockey (and not against us) but they were up by two with less than a minute to go and were finally beaten on a "bank shot" (deflected off of one of their players).I tuned in to this game with about a minute and a half remaining in regulation. I guess I jinxed 'em. 2 goals in 42 seconds. 59 seconds and 17 seconds to play. I think this just showed how good BU was -- they refused to lose.Bowling Green won the NCAA title in hockey back about 1985 or 86, I think it was. Not sure if the MAC has any other team titles, but I feel one coming on at the men's soccer cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 What comes around, goes around. I'm hoping that a few of their fans were at that game that were at the MAC championship game when I felt like someone punched me in the gut.This one had to feel like two punches in the gut though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Did anyone see the winning goal? It was just like Miami's bank shot in a way: TOTAL LUCK! The Miami player slid in front of the guy shooting. The puck hit the leg of the sliding player and spun in the air. It kind of curved itself around of the goalie and into the goal. It was totally hilarious. If it doesn't hit the player's leg, the goalie stops it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAZips Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I laughed when I saw what happened. It has to feel 10X worse to get beat like Miami did. National Championship GameWe lost on one shot. They had a TWO goal lead with less than a minute left.Then to lose on such a lucky shot in overtime......Oh well. They deserve it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No MAC national championship.Though I agree this is a good payback for not only the MACC two years ago and also for what Big Ben did to us (I was at that game), I have to say I was hoping they would win. I was watching a little of the frozen four preview the other night because Miami was in it, and they never mentioned or showed Miami when I was watching.

Captain Kangaroo Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I was watching a little of the frozen four preview the other night because Miami was in it, and they never mentioned or showed Miami when I was watching.I noticed the announcers CONSTANTLY talking about Boston U's "talent." Every play BU made was due to their "talent." Miami was ip 3-1 with 59 seconds remaining and the announcers never once strung the words "Miami" and "talent" together in a sentence.It reminded be of the Boise State/Oklahoma game. The entire game, every time after Oklahoma made a great play, they blurted "Now you can see where the talent and depth of the Big 12 is taking over...". How'd that work out?I hate announcers in Mid-major vs. Major events. The mid-major never gets any respect.BTW - I do realize Miami is a Top NCAA hockey program. But they aren't Boston U.

MDZip Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 But yet this was Boston University, not Boston College, so outside of Hockey they would be mid-major at best. No FBS football, and America East in basketball. Does the MAC (and CCHA) play second fiddle to everyone else? And if Miami and others can play in the CCHA for hockey, why can't we gather up everyone in the MAC, Kentucky and South Carolina (I think those are the SEC soccer playing schools) and a few other stragglers and make our own soccer conference (at least until the MAC gets more soccer schools, we already have two outsiders anyway). Vanguard Soccer Conference anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
