The quest for the Ultimate Double is underway

BC hoops next two games are @ Wake and home with VT. They need to stay focused, but if they do, they could easily manage to lose both those games (to poor teams I might add) and then have an excellent chance to finish without a win in conference play in both men's hoops and football. That is quite an accomplishment. It's not necessarily something to be proud of, but it is certainly a rare "accomplishment".

Not sure if this is what DeFilippo had in mind for New England's college team.

btw, VT attendance will easily be in the hundreds and might even break a thousand.
 
BCU is down 26-2 w/ 7:30 left in the 1st half. 1-20 from the field. I guess they are focused

Now 37-4 w/ 3:30 left. Forgot to mention that Wake is 1-13 in the ACC

41-14 at halftime.

What makes it worse is that I thought I read that WF suspended their leading scorer and rebounder for this game.

Showing heart, grit, fortitude, and scrappiness, BC won the second half, 34-33.

Unfortunately for them, both halves count and the Eagles fall to 0-14 in conference games.

Well, I guess you can call them scrappy,.... as long as you remove the s.

Holy Cross looks like a bunch of geniuses now for being in the Patriot League.
 
This is what I mean by focus. BC wants this. From an historical perspective very few programs have managed to do o'fers in conference play in consecutive football and hoops seasons.

They get by VT - by that I mean lose to them, they will make history.

But they had a home game against Duke yesterday. And they almost drew 8,000.

There are a lot of Duke alumni in Boston due to Duke's strength in the health sciences field and Boston being a huge employment market for that field.

BC's new motto: Somebody's got to lose. But Eagles loss to Wake. is a new low for Eagles.

Happy Monday;)

>>How is the BC administration and the ACC going to deal with this new milestone of ineptness at BC?

Athletic director Brad Bates, who hired both football coach Steve Addazio and basketball coach Jim Christian, is facing a situation in which his teams do not win, fans do not watch or listen or perhaps even care.

BC is a great school, with a great student body and it succeeds in many sports–most notably men’s and women’s ice hockey.

But in terms of the revenue producing sports, football and men’s basketball, BC, right now, looks overmatched.

The ACC can not be happy with a bottom feeder which has become a punch line for jokes told by the ESPN announcing crews who do the bulk of BC games.<<

But as a sage person pointed out on Twitter... The ACC revenue checks still clear the bank!

When one has to compare its basketball program to Rutgers, its not a good sign. Oh, and as a FYI -
  • Wake Forest: Rutgers lost @ home by 1, BC lost @ home by 26
  • CCSU: Rutgers won @ home by 16, BC won @ home by 25
  • UMass Lowell: Rutgers won @ home by 23, BC lost @ home by 2
  • Clemson: Rutgers lost in Vegas by 18, BC lost away by 11 & @ home TBD
Combined the schools are 13-41 and are 0-28 in conference play.

On side note, the article did confirm that BC will look to finally build an indoor football practice facility, which will sit on the current baseball field next to Alumni Stadium along with other improvements. Of course, this has not been approved by the City of Boston and I am sure the folks from Newton will also have there say. Good luck with that.

I'm thinking that after this football and basketball season the folks at Wake are saying, "thank god for BC!"
 
The sad part is it's baseball season. Where BC truly has no prayer of being competitive in the ACC.
 
BC likes to talk of their long football tradition. Back around 1978-182 era they went 0-11. Not a lot whole better than most years. Included were losses to Army, UMass +Holy Cross ( their big rival). They played in a 32k stadium with wooden seats. Only when Flutie came along did things improve. They rode that wave a long time , but the party is over. In the metro Boston area BC ranks behind the Pats, Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics, Harvard athletics, and the Boston Marathon as far as fan support/ interest.
They are being crushed by big brother --- UCONN.
