On a blustery day in Chestnut Hill, Frank Spaziani and crew hosted the annual Jay McGillis Spring Football Game which left fans with reasons for optimism when thinking about the Eagles September 3rd opener against Northwestern. Besides the fact that the team will rock its fourth different style of jerseys in the last half-decade and [...]
While Birdball 2011 wasn’t quite as hyped as the Gonzalez-Crawford Red Sox squad, there was still reason for disappointment this weekend as Coach Gambino’s club dropped both games to a talented Miami Hurricanes team. The Eagles entered the weekend with a 10-13 record while the ‘Canes were more impressive on paper at 15-11. The two [...]
They say that time flies when you are having fun, and that’s what it has been watching this hockey team this season. Eleven months ago Jerry York chaperoned his team to Detroit as they lit up the Ford Field scoreboard and slaughtered their competition. Flash forward one year later and the Hockey East champions would [...]
With Spring Ball coming up for the BC football team, it’s time to look at who is going to inhabit upper campus in September. Rivals.com rates BC’s class of 2015 as the 38th best class nationally. Those rankings can be misleading as there are countless examples of “2 stars (out of 5)” becoming NFL Pro [...]
Something struck me as I was leaving the BC hockey “game” Friday night. I had just witnessed a massacre that was reminiscent of last year’s team that annihilated its competition in the last third of the season and took home another national title in Detroit. This 2011 Eagle team is gaining a head of steam [...]
Steve Donahue and his new-look Eagles have jumped out to a 4-2 record in the ACC. The maroon and gold were tied for first place in the conference after knocking off UVA at Conte on Wednesday night even though they were not clicking on all cylinders. With some clutch free throw shooting by Reggie, an [...]
After welcoming back Mark Herzlich and successfully stumbling over Weber State and Kent State, it seemed as if the Eagles might never win another football game. In Coach Spaz’s second year as the boss, his squad dropped five games in a row. Fans were increasingly frustrated with Spaz and the anemic offense that people attributed [...]
It is only November 16 and one game into a long season, but it’s hard not to smile a little more when thinking about BC basketball than we did a year ago. Gene DeFilippo decided to do away with the old. He was sick of the lack of recruiting and losing local recruits. He was [...]
The Boston College Eagles have done the impossible. They got their first ACC win and ended their longest losing streak in twelve years. Boston College beat Clemson 16-10 to end the five-game losing streak. The Eagles got off the schneid thanks to stellar performances from Montel Harris and Luke Kuechly. Harris accounted for 59% of [...]
The seventh week of the college football season was filled with surprises. The BC-FSU game was no exception. The Eagles were 21-point underdogs but almost knocked off the class of the ACC, the FSU Seminoles. Calling someone the “class of the ACC” is analogous to titling him as the best of the worst, as the [...]
