Massey makes Holy Cross a 7 point favorite (65-58) with a 71% chance for the win.
BU is currently 8-10 (4-4 in the PL) after losing to Navy.

Is this the year we win the TT? No one west of Rte. 128 even knows what it looks like.

Winning one, two or three sports doesn’t get us the trophy.
This was one of the dumbest ideas Nate Pine and his associates came up with. HC has as much chance of winning the Turnpike Trophy as winning the Vince Lombardi trophy.

You should change the title unless "hosting Boston University" means BU is the host.
In any case, the Terriers are the home team.

Agreed w/the Turnpike Trophy comment.
A school six times larger than the other school is going to win that sort of contest every time.

The Turnpike Trophy would actually be cool as a football rivalry trophy.
Only one problem with that idea...

The men are 10 point underdogs. |

I hope we are all shocked and awed come PLT time. Would love another championship team this academic year.

The Turnpike Trophy would actually be cool as a football rivalry trophy. Only one problem with that idea... Or a baseball trophy. Even though BU's Nickerson Field is the former Braves Field, home ballpark of the National League Boston Braves from 1915-1953, BU dropped baseball. Apparently BU has a different approach from the Holy Cross "D-1 Participatory Model" because they offer participation through a large number of club and intramural sports while cutting back to more of a core number of varsity D-1 sports. There is no right or wrong way, but I do like to see colleges supporting the American Pastime, baseball. |

Since BU does not offer a full complement of sports, I would like to see the Turnpike Trophy competition pared down to only m/w soccer, m/w basketball and m/w lacrosse. The competition would be across six team sports, two in the fall, two in the winter and two in the spring. The playing field would be level for both institutions.

I must say, I have no clue where BU baseball played its games the last 30 years they had a team. After 1963, Nickerson had no baseball footprint and they kept the sport until 1995. |

The BU club baseball team plays at Joe Moakley Park in South Boston. I doubt BU used an acre or more of campus real estate for a baseball field when they had a varsity team.

....no guarantee BU's club baseball team plays where BU's varsity team did when they had one. But, yes, clearly nothing on campus now or then. All they had was Nickerson and a small turf field a block or so away; the lacrosse field on top of the parking garage wasn't added until the last 10 years or so.
