Message: [QUOTE="StoweD210, post: 2470834, member: 885"] The build up for that game and the aftermath were terrific. The BC posters were, even for them, over-the-top obnoxious. I could be wrong, but I think IAYF banned himself earlier in the season because he had promised to do so if BC lost a conference game that season. When it looked like BC was a lock for BCS bowl, he came back to gloat. He or BCAlum were promising to send "postcards from Tempe" to other posters after BC got the bid to the Fiesta bowl. Instead, the Eagles choked to a Pasqualoni team at home and they ended up in the Tire Bowl. The BC posters disappeared for a month or so, then came back and acted like nothing had happened. Almost as amusing was the collapse of the 2002-03 BC basketball team. They had beaten UConn convincingly at Gampel earlier in the season and were playing them again in the season finale. The BC posters were confident that their team would win, they would secure first place of the East division of the Big East and they would lock up an NCAA bid. As things played out, the Eagles lost by almost 40, they went 1-1 in the BET and ended up in the NIT. It's been 13 years, those posters are gone, those boards are gone, but BC has failed to reach a BCS/New Year's 6 or a Final 4 since then. [/QUOTE]
