SUPERFAN SLOGAN UPDATE, V 16

With the first orientation in the books, it's official: we know the Superfan Slogan for the Class of 2017

Many Hearts, One Tradition

As this is a pretty important discussion to have, we must now rank this shirt (the 16th slogan, for those counting at home). As far as we are concerned, these rankings are barely up for discussion.

1. Fly Like an Eagle
2. Eagles on the Warpath 
3. Go Eagles <---Catching a theme here that works? 
4. Soaring to Glory 
5. Take it to the Heights
6. Carry the Torch. Light the Way
7. Whatever It Takes 
8. Always Believe in BC 
9. Many Hearts, One Tradition
10. Eagles Take Action <----exception to the rule 
11. Becoming Champions
12. Talons of Fury...Get Ready 
13. On the Hunt for Excellence
14. Ignite the Heights With Spirit and Truth 
15. For Here All Are One <----would have been number one had it used the original lyrics 
16. Honoring the Legacy, Pursuing Greatness, the Sesquicentennial Class of 2013

Still not top material. Why two sentences? WHY.

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.

ACC HAS NO NEED FOR MASSACHUSETTS

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

HOCKEY GODS OFFER PROVIDENCE

Late season woes could have been worse, but we'll take this sweet match-up down in Providence. Two wins to Pittsburgh...

BC ATHLETICS FACEBOOK GRAPH SEARCH FAIL

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

(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.
