CCSU beats BC

[UConnTrumbull]

I knew you guys would like that one!
Central grabbed their paycheck from BC and came back from an 11 point 2nd half deficit to walk away with the dub!
The epitome of brutality!

Congrats man!

The Only bball team I loathe more than BC is Duke and the only football team I loathe more than BC is ND.

He's done a great job, I've always really liked Pat Sellers.

I went to that exhibition and BCU was pretty bad. This bad? Maybe.

 

[UCTitleTown]

LOL. My kid was accepted by Penn, Brown, Colgate and others, but rejected by BC. They can't lose enough.

Perhaps CCSU should replace DePaul in the Big East.

bcu doesn't even register on the list of basketball teams I despise. they were a mere annoyance on the schedule and they provided oh so many wins. St Johns, Syracuse, Villanova, Georgetown, even PC. Hate them all.

bcu is a hockey school and should look into the patriot league or NEC, but after tonight, the NEC probably doesn't answer the phone and BU will block them from the patriot

I always root for other Connecticut teams as long as they are not playing UConn.
Way to go CCSU, much love for our Connecticut brothers.

the excitement in the gym is . . .

even with the shove the CCSU player makes the bucket for the W. Great job!!!

The ACC took BC, and they got what they deserved—a second-rate school, in a city that doesn't care about them, unless it is hockey.

They bring no eyes to the ACC and never did. They deserve each other.

 

[temery]

Why don’t they have sports fans??

The reason I've read here most often is that Boston is a pro sports city. Too much competition. Oh ... and BC sucks.

 

[Huskyforlife]

The fact their athletic department gets to cash ACC checks and ours has to scrap to get by while performing 10,000 times better irks me to no end.

Won't stop him from writing nonsense about UConn, gives him more time to come up with something, in fact, as it's becoming more difficult to do so. #worstsportswriterever

 

[Travelman6]

Bc, the gift that keeps on giving to the acc.

LMAOOOOO

If anyone in Boston cared about BCU, this would be a big deal. But since no one cares it won't make any difference. Just more of what we have come to expect from the Beagles.

 

[cellocgg]

BC loves giving us free ammo

I mean it’s true. All four major sports have routinely good teams and Boston as a city is top 5 in terms of die hard fans. And, of course, at least 3 teams’ seasons overlap at any given time outside of July and August when everyone is going to the Cape. There literally is no time for college sports (the inverse is also a huge reason why college sports are so popular across the South and Midwest). Between normal life and multiple weekly pro sports events with good teams to spend money on, how does one find the time or wherewithal to care about BC?

You’d think that BC would have a pretty decent NIL fund, which should (a la Indiana) allow them to fix at least their football program in relatively short order. But who is going to go there, when the ACC’s future isn’t glowing with optimism, to right the ship?

I had lived in Boston for several young years. Pro sports move the needle there. They have provided top line teams for many years. College sports are mostly for fans of each school.

Syracuse next please

That doesn't really explain USC and UCLA. Or SJU. I lived in Chicago when DePaul was good and the city loved them and they got huge ink and air time. Heck, even Loyola was front page news a couple of years ago when they were good.

Good or bad, BCU doesn't move the needle in Boston. It isn't the competition from pro sports that hurts them. With the exception of a couple of years with Flutie, no one cares.

Boston College isn't unsuccessful because Boston is a pro town. There are plenty of schools that get little non-student support that do just fine on the field and in the stands. BC has 9,900 undergrads and a lot of other grad students around campus. Just in the ACC, Wake, Duke, SMU and Notre Dame all have less undergrads and have plenty of success and student participation. While in a city, BC isn't a commuter school and has a student body that is into sports, just not BC sports.

I'm assuming the poor attendance is mostly because of poor performance. Poor performance must mostly be due to an administration that is just taking the checks and using the minimum amount of resources possible.

It does absolutely suck that they were picked over UConn (and others more deserving than BC) because they had some football history, a better TV market that doesn't care about them, and backroom/stabbed best.

 

[BugsyCT]

I'm enjoying all the publicity they're getting over this. They can't lose enough at everything for me.
