Boston College Sinks to a New Low

Most of you probably think I am going to point to this metrosexual abomination as the new low for the SuperFans.

Nope, not by a long shot.

Although, yes - this "bromance" article does sum up nicely the douchebaggery that takes place up at Chestnut Hill, and not to mention violating every single man law in the books.

It's just too easy. Hey, maybe that's just Boston College's strategy - go completely over the top in their douchebaggery - and people will just get tired of making fun of them.

But as if that is not enough for Boston College, this was announced yesterday: Ulf Samuelsson's son commits to BC.

Yes, you read that right - that Ulf Samuelsson.

I know a lot of you are shrugging your shoulders and say "so? Big deal". Well, let me put it to you in terms you can understand. This is as if the Eagles baseball team had recruited Bucky Dent's kid or the basketball team with Jabbar's kid - and that would only be about half as bad as this.

Why? becuase Boston fans hated Jabbar and Dent for the games they won due to their skill (okay, not so much with Dent), but Ulf is hated because he ended the career of a Bruins Hall of Fame player - not with his game skills - but with cheap hits and dirty plays. Imagine if you will, it's as if the Patriots didn't get to the Super Bowl last year because someone took out Tom Brady with a cheap shot right before the half time of the AFC Championship; and ended the Patriots chances of making history with a dirty hit. (Well, almost like that - we all know the Pats' chances were ended by the football Gods because they cheated)

The initial injury to Cam Neely came during game 3 of the Conference Finals, when the Bruins were up two games to none against the Penguins. Here we were, after several years of near misses and tough battles - the Big Bad Bruins were finally beating Montreal on a regular basis in the playoffs, cruising along; the Edmonton Oilers' dynasty appeared to be finished. The B's were the team to beat, this was our year. We're up two games to nil, we got this.

Then this crap happened:



Cam was never 100% after that. We lost the game and the momentum. Went on to lose 3 more in a row and gave away the series. Ulf and the Penguins went on to won the Cup that year, and the next. Neely ended up not playing hockey until 1993 and retired in 1996 due to complications from injuries suffered during that series.

I will have my Neely jersey on for the Beanpot game next year.
