hey EP,

I recently heard through the grape vine of your website after a few of my friends victimized one of your “smokeshows of the day” if you know what I mean. Anyways, I am an avid hockey fan and an even bigger BU fan. To see the article about them not being deserving of the duckboats is totally disgusting. You being such an avid New Englander I would have never thought you felt that way. I was down in DC for the victory and drove the 9 hours home on sunday as the four members in our vehicle pondered what barstool sports bloggers would have to say about the victory. We were all in awe as we read your article and vowed never to commit ourselves to someone of this nature. Nonetheless I will probably continue to glance at the site every know and then when all my other sites bore me. Do remember though I know many of the players on the team who some nearly 50 percent are New Englanders and have made an appearance to the site, so to speak. This is a  homegrown team and that was one of the biggest comebacks of all time in all sports. You demonstrated an embarrasment to my city and my state and for that I am taking barstoolsports.com off of my bookmarks…beat it…Jason

Is this guy serious?   What the fuck is he talking about?   Dude nobody cares about BU unless you went to BU.  Get over it.  You sound like a fucking Superfan.   And speaking of the Superfans I didn’t see them using the Duckboats when they won the National Championship.  Even they aren’t that stupid to think people outside the school care.  And at least BC has local kids who go there unlike BU which is 97% from the Far East.  Now are lots of the hockey players local?   They could be just like at all the other New England schools.   I mean we are one of only two places in the country that play college hockey so it makes sense.   So the way I look at it we got a 50/50 chance of a local team winning it every year, but that doesn’t mean anybody outside the individual school gives a shit.   Bottom-line is that the Duckboats are a symbol of Boston.   BU ain’t.  Now go eat your ice cream and shut up.
