my prediction is ESPN and game day will be covering this historic moment if both teams are playing well, and have winning records.
Des & Joe D. should confer to get their facts straight. Des' article says that UConn & BCU will be Nov. 19, 2016 with the return date Nov. 18, 2017. Yesterday, on WTIC Sportstalk, Joe D. refuted a caller who made that observation by saying that his sources said that the game will be in September on the date formerly scheduled as the UMass game. He did, however, say that he hadn't gotten any confirmation from "official" sources.
Just signed in to say that Joe D is an unmitigated asshat. His contempt for pretty much every sports fan shines through on the sportstalk show. And he sucks at football play-by-play, to boot.Lazy. He also shot down the first caller to their show that mentioned the games at all, going as far as to jab at the number of twitter followers in play. He didn't do his own homework, was caught off guard, and sniped.
My guess is very few in NE even care about this game. This board seems to care the most.Oh, and that OP is insane. Nobody outside of New England gives a rat's ass about this game.
I think you are allowed only 1 made up trophy per head coaching gig. I think it is in the bylaws. So Diaco has his one in place with UCF.I hope Diaco makes up some kinda rivalry trophy for this game too... Thinking a "Battle for New England" trophy or something. Maybe its a giant thing of granite thats in the shape of the New England states?

I read that and I honestly just feel sad for BC now... Haha. What a terrible place to play college football.I doubt Gameday goes to Boston College. There is no tailgating tradition for John Q. Fan and if you try, apparently you'll be greeted by guys dressed like they're ready to invade Poland.
Back in 2011 BCInterruption created a multiple part series that highlighted the steps necessary to have a successful tailgate at Boston College. Years later, I still get random emails from opposing fans asking about tailgating rules, so let's go over some of the basic rules.
Read the comments to this story. Apparently the idea of a good tailgate for a BC student is basically mix in with the homeless (a 30 pack of Busch, 5lbs of ice and a Hefty bag on a street corner).
- You have to be a donor to tailgate at BC. You can't do just one game, you have to sign up for the entire season
- Don't bother trying to just show up at Boston College to tailgate, BPD and the Staties aren't the most welcoming and will just send you away without giving you a real idea on where to park.
- If you get to tailgate in either Commonwealth Ave or Beacon St. garage, no open flames or BBQs. Basically this means you have to be creative with your tailgating spread.
- If it is a day game you can tailgate three hours before the game, and one hour after. If it is a night game (i.e Wake Forest) you can tailgate the three hours before but not after.

Crazy Bob is allowed one per personality so we have a little room to maneuver here.I think you are allowed only 1 made up trophy per head coaching gig. I think it is in the bylaws. So Diaco has his one in place with UCF.
And you need to include UMass in the trophy too even though all 3 schools will not be playing every year. This is not a 2 team series. Its a threesome.
Tailgating isn't good - though if you're a student it is, not sure where the comments about the student atmosphere being bad come from - but other than that the environment is decent. The whole campus gets involved which is nice. If you live on or near campus it can be a fun time, if you're from farther away, it's pretty annoying. A good amount of why they can't do more (build more lots, paths to get to the games, tailgate longer, etc.) there has to do with the NIMBYs of Brookline, Newton, and Allston/Brighton. It's a problem every college up here shares - the locals hate that they live near universities. Yet they all decided to move into houses near universities....I read that and I honestly just feel sad for BC now... Haha. What a terrible place to play college football.
That's the advantage of an on campus stadium if you're a student. I tailgated in the "mods apartments" once and had a pretty good time.Tailgating isn't good - though if you're a student it is, not sure where the comments about the student atmosphere being bad come from - but other than that the environment is decent.
