The Frozen Four ended a few days ago with a thrilling, come-from-behind, overtime championship for the Boston University Terriers. I was in attendance and I'm still stunned at the way the game ended. The devastating heartbreak of the Miami University contingent, who were a few seconds away from the first national championship of any kind for their school. The absolute elation of the BU fans as their team pulled off a win for the ages.
What sticks with me most is the BU nickname, Terriers. What were they thinking? Imagine if you will, thousands of Boston fans trying to chant "let's go Terriers!" Now think about a Boston accent, replacing the "r's" with "ah's"...
What you get is more like, "let's go teh-wee-uhs!" I spent half of their games looking around for the chorus of Elmer Fudd's.

Congrats to BU! Now change your nickname or avoid all cheers that
actually use the term Terriers. It really makes you look silly.
