BC GRIEVANCE DIVISION OF LABOR

Any time we get a chat with a BC player, regardless of sport, decision making ability or scholarship level, we can anticipate certain questions. To save time and repetition, this post reflects the division of labor among the BC bloggers to ask those questions so you don't have to.


  • Heights and Lows: "What are your thoughts on Men's Lacrosse becoming a D1 sport again?"
  • Eagle in Atlanta: "Will BC get a permanent Indoor Practice Facility?'
  • BC Interruption: "When will the Brighton Campus ball field be complete/started?"
  • Around the Res: "Is it time to replace baseball as a varsity sport if we can't compete?"
  • Soaring to Glory: "How will you encourage students to attend non-Duke basketball games?"

Remember, you no longer have to ask these questions. We have it. We promise. No, seriously, we'll totally ask them.

Yes, you can blame Spaz and/or Belichick for this nice little cut job:

BC ATHLETICS FACEBOOK GRAPH SEARCH FAIL

Yeah, yeah, this is what we came out of "waiting-for-the-schedule" hibernation for:


(It's Boston College Athletics, btw).

(Is it schedule time yet?)

RECKLESS SCHEDULING 2013 - V 2.0

Well, the ACC broke the capsule, which while bad for the original prediction seems to help out BC a lot in terms of always having a few solid home games every year. Had it not been altered, BC would have been hosting its three biggest rivals in the conference - Syracuse, VT and Clemson - in one year while having them all on the road the next. This helps, and I'm supportive of it.

What we know now is that we will have Florida State, NC State, Wake Forest and Virginia Tech at home and travel at Clemson, Maryland, Syracuse and North Carolina. A minor change, but a nice one, again. Of course, it ruins our previous schedule prediction. Back to the drawing board with the new considerations, in italics:

ROLL MF'N TIDE


There's been an interesting divide in this BC corner of the college football blogosphere. You see, not to call out anyone, but you wouldn't be shocked to know that the majority of the BC bloggers are generally recent grads, certainly all of us are post-Flutie.

The board posters, a few of the elder statesmen among the commenters, they do skew a little older.

And to all of you, I need to remind you of one thing: No. You can't cheer for Notre Dame tonight.

There is no conference supremacy argument, they're joining the ACC in the same way a teenager is having meaningful intercourse on prom night. You don't need to say they were the childhood team on which you were raised - you can cheer against them one day a year when we play, but think it's fine the rest of the year?

When a rival plays, you support their opponent. And trust me, they are our rivals, especially in the last two decades. Not every now and then. Always.

You don't want them to win the National Championship. You hope your daughters don't date their grads and you generally find every possible reason to associate them with the worst things in the world.

Don't ease up now.

ROLL.

TIDE.

RECKLESS SCHEDULING: 2013, V 1.0

We're back to where we started: watching bowls, wishing we were playing.

The official schedule is months away, but just like last year, it's time to play with 'what we can imagine' and 'what's been announced' to conjure up a BC football schedule.

Hang on to your hats. Here. We. Go.

Known Entities
  • BC opens against Stony Brook over Labor Day weekend
  • BC hits the road to head to USC on 9/14
  • BC hosts Army on 10/5
  • At some point in the fall, BC will definitely play a non-conference game against New Mexico State
  • BC gets two byes since there are 14 weeks between Labor Day and Thanksgiving, at some point, too
Known ACC Games and Locations (In Theory)
  • BC will play Wake, NC State and Florida State at home
  • BC will play Maryland, Clemson, Virginia Tech on the road
A Question That Hasn't Been Answered
  • BC has to have one home game and one away game between a Coastal Opponent and Syracuse. IF the capsule remains together, it would be Georgia Tech at home, and Syracuse on the road. 
The Mad Lib (All Caps Are Confirmed)

8/31: STONY BROOK
9/7: Open
9/14: @USC
9/21: Open
9/28: Open
10/5: ARMY
10/12: Open
10/19: Open
10/26: Open
11/2: Open
11/9: Open
11/16: Open
11/23: Open
Thanksgiving Weekend (11/28-11/30): Open

Considerations
  • BC has yet to announce Parents Weekend BUT it has been the last weekend of September since, well, as long as we can remember. Parents Weekend = Likely Squishy Opponent if possible. If not, bloodbath against Clemson. 
  • BC has not played out on the west coast on the regular season in awhile
  • If the new ACC contract immediately goes into effect, BC would be involved in at least *one* Friday night game this year. The language is squishy and it could be read that BC or Syracuse will not only be involved in Friday night games, but definitely be hosting one or the other. 
Completely Arbitrary Guesses That Mean Nothing And Likely Has Errors/Double Bookings:

8/31: STONY BROOK
9/7: Bye
9/14: @ USC
9/21: @ Clemson 
9/28: New Mexico State
10/5: ARMY
10/12: vs Florida State
10/19: vs Coastal (GT or Pitt)
10/26: @ Maryland
11/1: vs Wake (Fri)
11/9: @ Virginia Tech
11/16: NC State
11/23: Bye
Thanksgiving Weekend (11/28-11/30): @ Syracuse (Friday p.m.)
