I doubt a double bye is helpful aside from getting Jurk healthy.

They’re going to struggle to play these last 2 games with Covid going crazy.

If the rest is helpful, and he doesn't need surgery, otherwise, this sucks for many reasons.

Can we schedule UMass for next week?

They are playing Playoff Contender Liberty next week

7-4 or 6-5 is respectable after a lot of preseason predictions with just a couple of wins or a few

BC is going in the right direction and the recruits next year will tell us something

Announced this morning it will be played November 28th. Time TBD. Thankfully this is the bye week so no real impact to us.

In other news, hockey's opener has been postponed a second time because New Hampshire has COVID.

4 pm Saturday

1 PM hockey vs PC in Conte
4 PM football vs Lou in Alumni

First time I can remember both teams having home games the same day. This is fucking ridiculous that not even the students can get in.

Go Eagles!

At this point there should be at least some students in the stands. Indoors is still a little iffy though.

justin bellido is transferring. FR WR from Erasmus, flipped to BC from Minn late in game last year

Not even a full season and he’s leaving?

Kobay, Zay, Gill, CJLewis, and Galloway are ahead of him on the depth chart, with Taji Johnson seeing some action as well. Hope he goes to a place where he has a shot at PT.

He has been hurt since well before the Duke game.

Hockey is playing at UMass this weekend because Providence has the rona. No need to worry about overcrowding in the Conte showers.

Despite multiple projections for BC to play in the Pinstripe Bowl, this won’t happen. Pinstripe Bowl has been cancelled.

I can't imagine many bowl games happening at all. If I was a Bowl Committee Member, I would engage ESPN in holding the games at their Sports Facility in Orlando. Essentially, allow the game to happen... get paid some TV revs... but, no expense of holding the actual event.

ESPN is going to want the tv content. That is the only hope for 75 percent of bowls being played.

Sun Bowl has also been cancelled... No minor bowl games this year?

Figures, that was where BC was being projected this week.

6-5, not great but happy with the direction of the football program. The really troubling thing was the OLine run blocking.
They were injury free until the UVA game.
Can the team practice while waiting to find out if they will play in a bowl?

Bowl games drying up. Herbie reported during the Clemson game that 4 ACC bowls have been cancelled already. Will put participation in question.

Excepting the (very possible) implosion of all non-major Bowls, I think BC will get invited. The Bowls owned by ESPN will pay off the small conferences. The Armed Forces Bowl is already now a BIg12/SEC game, and there are reports the ACC may take over the Montgomery Bowl.

yes they'll be able to practice. hafley said previously that they're really going to give the contributors a break for most of bowl practice. was listening to a gunnell interview and he said (unsurprisingly) that they've reallly adopted a nfl mentality to practice opposed to the spaz / daz full contact every day.

get rooks and kendall

also didn't want to jinx it (and i guess thanks to the 2014 pinstripe bowl there's still the bowl) but boomer has been very good this year. perfect on XP and 15-17 from inside 50. no clue if he wants to but definitely would keep him around another year

through last week pff has us as #21 OL in the nation: https://www.pff.com/news/college-footba ... fb-week-13

I would’ve signed up for 6-5 before the season. This D was always going to be a problem

21 feels high to me, but most college OLs are a disaster.

I swear to God our LT at best gets out a punch on his defender then turns inside or drops to his knees. Belongs inside at guard, possibly, but either way I don’t understand how someone else hasn’t earned more snaps protecting the blindside.
