After the Flutie Hail Mary and Gordon FG, the most important play in BC football history. Thanks Campion and thanks Kelly Elias.

Really? That humongous play to beat a 6-6 team?

They were undefeated and ranked when BC played them, but they finished the season at 5-5-1.

They were undefeated at 0-0 and only ranked on reputation. They stunk that year.

I know that. But they should not have stunk. They had a world class backfield with Earl Campbell and Johnny "Ham" Jones and Jonny "Lam" Jones, a good defense, and arguably the best kicker ever. Darrell Royal claimed that the tean never recovered after the BC loss. Neither did he. He was retired soon thereafter. But they really should have been good that year.

I think 81's point is that the 76 Texas game was BC's first win against a big-gum in a long time. At the time it was huge. Really huge. Much bigger than any local college sports story in Boston in the past 15 years, I'd say.

It may have been a big story, but it doesn't come close to the BC VT game in terms of importance for the program. It's not even top 10.

Mosi {l Wrote}:enough with the debate, if not for Flynn getting us the ND game in 75, Texas home and home in 76 & 77, Tennesse home and home in 77 80 etc we'd be playing the fucking Cross and all the other Patriot Leaguers...now Campy can we get more pics?

i'd always thought the "downstairs bar at ma's" was a myth. as someone that's been down there in the early 90s, the only thing i could ever envision occuring down those stairs was a reenactment of the silence of the lambs theme

9--you are sharp and I agree 99% of what you say. But, this is the dumbest statement you have ever made. UT win was NATIONAL news. No one had even heard of BC outside of the Northeast.

campion {l Wrote}:Here's what those uniforms looked like. This is Larry Marzetti being sacked vs. Syracuse, 1964. The game was a huge BC upset, by the way.

I must be old.

Concannon was a Round 1-- #1 pick.

I like the 3 if it was maroon and the shoulder stripes gold.

Thanks.

BCEagle74 {l Wrote}: I would love to be buried on one of those. I wish it had a small BC logo in the upper shoulder.

They did have a BC seal on the right shoulder. The team is carrying first year coach Jim Miller off the field after defeating Holy Cross, 1962.

Believe it or not I still have about 75-80 football pics, 50 or 60 hockey pics, and I haven't even looked at the basketball folder yet. Not to mention all of the miscellaneous stuff like cheerleaders, the band, field hockey, and Mosi's lacrosse team. So this could go on for quite a while, unless people think that its making the board suck too much.

Yes, and BC at #2 in the country beating #8 VT in a monsoon with a Heisman candidate at QB, on the road in one of the toughest places to play in the country, after two TD drives in the last 4 minutes, was small potatoes.

Much bigger win for the program. Just because they didn't do anything with it doesn't matter - after beating Texas in 76, BC was mediocre, and fell to Temple-esque withing 2 years. That Texas game was also the fisrt game of the season. It is just not anywhere near as important.

Mosi {l Wrote}: I don't recall but I know that we didn't play Texas HERE twice during those years, I may have been drunk but I would have remembered that

and Campy, I think that the '65 game at the Point was the first road trip that I went on also, small f'ing world all I remember is the stoplights every 20 feet in Pokieskie (sp)

campion {l Wrote}:This was the first BC road game I ever attended, a 10-0 shutout by Army at West Point, 1965. Here is Ed Foley heaving up a pass down the middle.

BC lost to Texas 42-19 on 9/14/74. This was the first game that the band wore band uniforms instead of the blazers and slacks worn in prior years.
