Sore Eagles.

So what?

I'm guessing it's that the guy committing there doesn't realize it's just BC.

It's amazing. Even Boomer Esiason rants about the tuition he pays Boston College University.

But the post still mystifies me cuz it's on this board and not the recruiting board and I thought BB was a BU alum.

Read the kid's twitter post a little more carefully.

BrassBonanza, I'm embarrassed now. I no longer call Boston College BCU. I don't want anyone thinking they are an AAU school like the real BU. I'm concerned they might actually change their name to BCU to confuse people into thinking they are an AAU school.

What can UConn change their name to so someone might confuse them for a school not in the AAC. Yeah .05% of the population knows what the AAU is, maybe the insulated world of academia gives a damn about Boston University. The other 99+% understands BC plays games on television if they are good.

Yeah, 99% of the world is watching BC football. Not rodeo.

When you pull 3-9 seasons, you become known as a loser. Which is appropriate.

Nobody is currently watching BC football. But if BC were good the people who watch college football would watch.

Take a trip to Hartford tomorrow and stand downtown and ask people two questions: What is BC? What is the AAU?

Everyone will know what BC is. 75% of people will tell you that AAU is a high school basketball traveling league. Literally no one will know what your AAU is.

And that's what? College football for schools like BC (when BC is good, which is practically never) means a .5 rating for a national game. Which translates into .25% of the population at best. BU, which is getting a lot more stellar students than BC these days, and applications across the nation as well, is pretty well known, and everything I've seen from them in competing for students with BC (which they do) is trumpeting their AAU status and explaining what it is. Those students applying know.

A random person on the street in Hartford? A random person knows nothing about BC football either.

WTH are you talking about?

Not to mention the fact that my post was clearly a joke.

Man, relax a little.

Let me add this. When BC football was good, RODEO beat them on TV in Boston.

RODEO!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not really arguing with you - just the constant obsession with AAU and the relative academics of schools that are all good is tiresome.

The whole discussion went up a notch once UConn was eliminated from ACC membership, and the only other plausible alternative practically required academic affiliation with the AAU. No wonder people are obsessed. They weren't before.

Story of BC's decline in one fact: Eagles join Kansas as only AQ teams to have a 10-win and a 10-loss season over the last six years.
