zero chance all 12 BC fans are allowed to go to games. also zero chance the games do not happen.

Wait... so that means no Red Sox games in Fenway? Interested to see how that flies.

Edit: As is usually the case, the info posted was somewhat selective. It seems that Walsh ended the idea of the City-held events like Parades and 4th of July. He has not yet done anything regarding the Red Sox. BC's football fate will be linked to that of the Sawks. If Fenway can safely have daily baseball games with 35k people, BC surely can hold 6 games with half that amount.

I don’t really understand why he needs to cancel things 4 months from now.

Not sure how you’re putting 90 guys in a locker room safely (or students in a dorm) right now. Things can obviously improve 4 months from now.

You can do it because they are 20 and there is ZERO risk to them. Let's stop with the full retard.

This. I can't believe there are still people concerned about the COVID, but I'm not surprised eepstein hasn't figured it out yet.

I did not remember the defense playing as well as they did, but they were lights out that night. Penetration and/or QB pressure on seemingly every play. Not to mention *gasp* solid tackling.

As I recall, they lost at Pitt the week before and the tackling was abysmal. It came out they went light in practice that week. After the Pitt loss, going into USC, they essentially went full tilt, full pads the whole week and it showed against USC.

They played with no fear that game and just showed the most frustrating aspect of the Daz era: the ability to play with and beat anyone, but the refusal to do so.

That was only the case during the first two years with Day and Brown. Once Day left, then Brown, they never challenged the top programs.

Your reading comprehension is not good. Go read my post again.

Rumor over on the EI Boards, that I think is personally silly, but it's out there.

There's a rumor that BC is considering sitting out football for 2020 which spooked MJ. The rumor doesn't make a lot of sense on the surface, but it's out there. The long-term effects of missing a football season would be catastrophic for the Athletic Department so I have to imagine they'll do everyone possible to play (including having students back on campus for classes).


I do not believe said rumor.

No P5 team ran into 8+ defenders in the box last year more than Boston College - 42.7% of the time. Next most? Iowa at 29.8%. That's an insane margin. BC yards/carry vs. 8+ was 3.52, with 7 or less it was 6.46. New QB/coach/scheme should help. A lot.

Hopefully the players can return to campus ASAP. I think the first summer session starts this week or next.
