BC - Our Bowl Game. +12. No One is Respecting Us. What Say You?

[NE Football]

At the beginning of the season I had us winning this game by at least two scores. I’m throughly disgusted with the coaching and portal recruiting of JM. BCU got 2 very good players , Castellanos and O'Keefe who should be in blue and white on Saturday. I highly doubt NIL was the issue. Facilities are not the issue either. I don’t think BCU being in the ACC was a factor either given that they are the laughingstock of the ACC. I’d like an explanation from JM.

All in all, I still think we shut down BCU, control the game and win 21-17.

Maybe we get our heads out of backsides and play like we aren’t afraid to lose and aren’t afraid to lose a win for 4 quarters. Truthfully, I don’t see that happening but I’ll live in fantasy land.

 

[Uconnalliance]

Should be a layup for BC.. but you never know

 

[Jetskies]

oh gosh not WHAT-SAY-YOU guy again

 

[RSTuthill]

I'd love to he optimistic but this teamnshowsbit has fatal characteristics in all phases of the gamevand it plays like it.
Coaches and players alike gave earned their record.

I can't force myself to write a score.

What you just said.

 

[uconndogs]

BC is going to empty both barrels. That loss last season did not sit well and they are playing decent ball…….we are not…..

oh gosh not WHAT-SAY-YOU guy again

Thanks for the kind regards!

Maybe ... MAYBE we can pull off the win. But at this point, I'm not feeling optimistic. I'll be listening to the game anyway.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Maybe if we win a couple of games, our odds will improve. Or, is that asking for too much?

 

[NHRich]

Everything points to another loss. Hope it’s a competitive game!

I think BCU will look to roll us... it's a revenge game for them because they feel they had no business losing to us last season, nor are we on their level... Great challenge for JM and staff to get our young men ready for it...
I expect us to lose, but, my hope is we are really competitive and make it a game.. My bigger hope is we shock the world and pull it out with a FG with time expiring... Ah, the heck with it... Let's Go Huskies!!! We catch catchable balls, we force turnovers, we make this our lowest penalized game, we fight til the end... 24-21 Huskies!!!

I've been thinking that we need to bring in Fred Biletnikoff as an assistant coach. Or at least get a tub of whatever he used on his gloves.

That's a walk down memory lane. He caught passes from The Snake and the Mad Bomber (have to be old enough to know the nicknames. The old AFL days. Didn't Lester Hayes also use the stick-em? The 70's were a great football decade.

Yes Lester Hayes coated his arms and chest with the stuff. LoL

Dunno if it was him but I remember a receiver from back in the day saying he spread it on his socks to help trap low passes against his legs.

Lester was a DB. So must be a different player using the socks trick

1-5 after Michigan vacates - they stole our signs!

[ManFromOZ]

That's what I remember. A different league with Rozelle at the helm. Everything goes mentality. Now it is all yellow flags and replays. No kickoff returns. Oh well,I'll just glo shout at clouds.

Boston College looks a little different this year...

.....the offense is not as vanilla as the last few seasons
.....Castellanos can be dangerous at QB
--------1,398 passing yard
--------10 passing TD's, 9 rushing TD's...628 yards rushing

I almost shivved a guy in a BC hat on my flight from KC. Figured I’m in a packers hoodie nobody would make the connection.

Did he do something or is it just because he was a BC guy?

 

[MrHockey9]

Loss-threw my tickets out to BC game and cancelled hotel in Boston 30 minutes after getting home from the usf game. East Hartford is a long enough drive to watch this team this year.

He was rude to another passenger. Unnecessarily.

Is rudeness ever necessary?

It was Fred Biletnikoff and Cliff Branch. Yup, the award is named for a stick’em guy.
Heres the pic with the proof-lol.
