Anyone who had watched the first four games of BC’s season could not have thought that the Eagles had a realistic chance to travel to Raleigh, N.C., and knock off the 5-1 NC State Wolfpack. The Eagles struggled in every game of the year and they were going on the road to face an unusually [...]

Alumni Stadium was rocking at eight p.m. on Saturday night. Ever since the school announced that the Notre Dame game would be a night game, the students had been properly preparing. The stadium was as loud as any really big high school football stadium can be. Gene even went out of his way to get [...]

When John Swofford and the rest of the Atlantic Coast Conference committee members released the 2010 football schedule last winter, BC fans circled two games that clearly stood out. Eagle fans assumed that they would knock off Weber State and Kent State, and that assumption was a safe one.  They also assumed that Virginia Tech [...]

The main thing I took away from Saturday’s game, besides terribly sunburnt shoulders, was that Michael Marscovetra should be the starting quarterback in the September 4th game against Weber State. Marscovetra and Shinskie were the two starting quarterbacks and the 19-year-old sophomore-to-be outshone his 26-year-old fellow sophomore-to-be counterpart. Marscovetra displayed more accuracy and better decision [...]

Birdball flew down to Raleigh, North Carolina, and swept the NC State Wolfpack this past weekend. It was a pivotal weekend for the Eagles, as they were neck-and-neck with their ACC counterpart heading into the three-game series. Mik Aoki and his crew got things rolling on Friday night as they dropped NC State 9-5. The [...]

As I sit here in the beautiful Hampton Inn located in Southfield, Michigan, the other Eagle faithful and I who journeyed out here are eager to see the Eagles avenge their 2006 National Title loss to The University of Wisconsin. About twenty five of us caravanned out here on Wednesday night and arrived in the [...]

After thirteen years at BC, Al Skinner was told it’s time he finds a new gig. Gene, BC’s athletic director, told Al that he did not see eye-to-eye with him on the direction of the program. One cannot blame Gene as anyone with a pulse and a set of eyes could tell that BC hoops [...]

It is the end of March. Jerry York is the head coach at Boston College and his Eagles have packed their bags and are headed out west for the Frozen Four. It is the Eagles seventh appearance in the Frozen Four since 2000; their twenty-second appearance ever. Thus, a BC team that wasn’t going to [...]

Boston College has churned out great lineman after great lineman. Linemen were great here back when you could get slizzered at the Rat on a frequent basis. Tom Nalen walked these hallowed grounds. Ron Stone, Pete Kendall, Damien Woody, Gosder Cherilus, Jeremy Trueblood and a plethora of others have contributed to BC being dubbed “O-Line [...]

You know it was a down year when ESPN’s Bracketology calls Boston College a “bad loss.” It is fairly insulting to be guilty of costing a bubble team a spot in the tournament. While Boston College is often a team on the bubble, that was not the case this year. The Eagles started the season [...]
