To be fair TCU was in the SWC which was a major conference and their '76 football team and their '76-'77 basketball team performed the double.

That is something good to throw out to ESPN X Man....
 
It's seemingly impossible that Rutgers is worse.

They get a shot at Minnesota this weekend. Who pretty much dismissed or suspended their entire team earlier this week.

Should be awesome.

You just couldn't resist staying dark after that last second loss (or was it a win--a win for us BYers I guess) last night. I was constantly hitting refresh on ESPN screaming at my computer with 2 seconds remaining when it took several minutes to update what happened. When I finally saw that BC lost, I let out a primal yell. My girlfriend was very confused as to why I was rooting so hard for a team to lose
 
If BC is that awful why the constant longing to play them, be affiliated with them? Maybe there are bigger fish to fry and UConn should aspire to mold & lead a league that can be greater.

Phew! That was a close one! The Eagles really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in spectacular fashion!

Its what makes it a rivalry.

Those TCU players have champagne on ice, waiting to celebrate the day that they are not the last team(s) to get the double donut.

Do you think the members of the "fightin' 76er" will be standing on the sidelines like the old Dolphins used to do?

I was doing the same and grateful my kids were in bed. I coach both of their respective sports teams and always preach to root for our team, never root against another team. Whoops.

I know everyone wants to have this big New England rivalry with BC but after 2017 any future match up in football could actually hurt UConn's national title run by watering down their out of conference schedule.

Well, in terms of hoops that would certainly be the case and at the rate BC is going, there may be a lot of truth to that for football someday too.

The game was sold to Fox (heard their Sunday football music entering each time out) and aired on NESN. Other than Gus Johnson and Bill Rafftery, FOX has some awful announcers.
 
Clemson is up 20 with just over 2 minutes left.

Congratulations BC on a job done.

Can Boston College do the impossible and go winless in conference in football and basketball?

Yes they can!

ESPNCBB 1:49pm via Spredfast app
BC becomes 1st team in ACC history to go winless in both basketball & football conference play in same school year.

In defense of the ACC, if they were choosing between BC and UConn today (or in 2011-12) I don't think there would be a contest. BC got ahead of the game and into a conference they don't deserve to be in. We see the result.

In what seems impossible Rutgers won a game by 20 points today. Bailed out by another Pitino who can't keep a sex scandal away from his program.
 
Do they get they still get the double if they win their first game in the ACC Tournament?

Who will kick in for bonuses for their coaching staffs for this magnificent achievement?

#14 will be playing #11 Florida St. in the ACC championship in DC on Tuesday and the winner gets V Tech. the Seminoles beat the Eagles at Conte by 10 at the end of January. Louisville is not eligible.

Yeah..it was for regular season games...losing in the ACC tournament will just be icing on the cake.
 
BC lost to FSU by 10 at home and they are likely to have similar home crowd support at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. as they did for their last meeting.
