Eagles on the Hunt for Sports Resources

The demand for sports information in the Boston College community has resulted in multiple online resources to keep fans up to date. Team rivalries, player statistics and schedules are just a few of the many components of the Eagles’ sports websites.

Eagleoutsider.com is a site organized into forums of topics including Alumni Stadium, Conte Forum, Kelley Rink and Shea Field. Members are able to view and comment on active topics or respond to unanswered posts, allowing members to give their opinions on topics such as “ACC All-Academic Team” or “BC Transfer Rumor”—two examples of the near 2,300 threads within the Alumni Stadium Forum. Each forum includes a column of announcements including results and future events, keeping viewers engaged with the website statistics at the bottom of the page. These include the total number of online members, total posts and total current topics.

The Eagle Action website is host to an abundance of football, basketball and baseball statistics including news updates and recruiting information. Like Eagleoutsider.com, Eagle Action is made up of forums including The Eagles Nest, Conte Crib, BC Hockey and BC Banter. Fans can also find a link to a collection of videos featuring “one-on-one” highlights. This site is highly accessible and easy to navigate for SuperFans who may be new to the site. Additionally, free text alerts are offered to subscribers.

Eagle Insider is dedicated to Boston College football and basketball recruiting, as well as in-depth coverage of games and results. Viewing of its message boards is free to nonmembers and can be commented on by those who subscribe or become members to the site. In addition to message and news updates, prospective football and basketball recruits are listed according to their national rank, rating and schools of interests. The site also keeps fans up to date with latest news stories, including in-depth analysis of previous games and key matchups between players.

Eagle in Atlanta keeps the SuperFans up to date with daily blogs summarizing and analyzing the performances of the BC Eagles. This site proudly captures the “highs and lows of being a BC fan living 1,000 miles from Chestnut Hill” by highlighting the achievements of key players, overall performances and news updates in the media.
