The best part was HC calling for fair catches on like the 5-10 yard line of kickoffs and the refs ruling a touchback
Why was that the best part? You must really like the new rule?

MilitantEagle {l Wrote}:The tailgating scene was on par with the Notre Dame game last year. While the game was stupid, all games against an FCS school are stupid. If we are going to play an FCS school each year, then I'd be in favor of it being Holy Cross. Much better to be in a full stadium than playing in an half empty stadium against Weber St. or even a MAC school.
eagletx {l Wrote}:Though, I hope this easy lifting schedule doesn't come back and bite BC. FIRST OFFENSE, in game for 12 plays or some such. So they haven't played a full game after two games. My opinion, Brown needs work, regardless of opponent. He hasn't had a full season. Brotherhood sportsmanship and all considered, at least play real football for a half, then play audition football. Yeah, take Dillon out, play some other linemen, but leave in Brown to get some work. You left 1st D in for a half, why not the offense.
This game demonstrated that nondescript Division 2 cupcakes shouldn't be played except as a later season "off week" on the schedule. Going into week 3 BC hasn't faced any meaningful competition, and I question whether there's alot positive to be derived from it. Thankfully, its Wake, and not Clemson or VT next.

my understanding is that is a new rule this year. Any fair catch on the kickoff inside the 25 (I think) results in a touchback

This. Great atmosphere on campus today. It has been a long time since Domingo has seen the lots that full for a non-ND game.

I agree. You could feel the difference in energy between last week and this week. HC fans showed up, without the drama of UConn or FSU fans. Despite the score, today was more fun than the UMass game. Was that the biggest crowd for a non-ND/Clemson/USC game in years?

Over 40,000. For an FCS team.

I hear ya....beating Holy Cross does nothing for your position in the AP poll...but seriously, is that really that important in the grand scheme of things?
sader87 {l Wrote}:Biased obviously, but there isn't an FCS program in the country that can match HC's enthusiasm in playing BC.
Will most games be in the 62-14 range? Probably, but we'll get better.
All I'm saying is that it should be a game played every few years....too much history, too many familial/friend connections, too close geographically, too similar institutionally etc to completely stop playing as we have for 32 years until this year.
Just a tremendous day today....good luck against Wake Thursday!
sader87 {l Wrote}:You don't get it TRE.....it's college football....no one around here really cares if you beat Wake, Raleigh Community
College or UMass.....playing Holy Cross means something to the alumni of both schools.
