Hindsight is why I watch these games back. Initially I thought the offensive line was terrible. Watching back showed the game to be a subpar performance for the big guys, but not as hopeless as it felt watching it live. The QB review was similar as one of our guys did emerge (in my...

After seeing other teams struggle with DIAA and MAC teams, I will not complain about a win. In fact, winning in this fashion provided relief and hope. The defense looked impressive again and there were some bright spots on offense and special teams. However, through the live viewing...

Just a reminder that the Red Bandana walk/run is next Saturday, September 19. It's a great cause and helps us honor a BC guy who died eight years ago.
BC-Kent State preview
September 10, 2009 by

| Comments
| Comments
In retrospect Northeastern was a scrimmage that counts in the win total. Kent State, while overmatched, still represents a challenge and a test to see what we have. I expect the opponent's tackling to be better, the speed to be better, the schemes to be better, but the end result...

Isn't it great to have college football back? I shook up the ballot a bit this week. The biggest mover was Miami. Coming into the season, I had serious doubts about Shannon turning the Canes around. They showed me a lot tonight. As for BC, I liked what I saw but don't want...

Second viewing thoughts and grade report: Northeastern

Thanks to some readers I was able to access ESPN 360 (remotely) last night. Watching the replay actually dampered my perception a bit. Yes it was still a dominant performance, but Northeastern was not much of a test. Shinskie even said in the Sunday articles that the pace and speed...

That was just what we needed. Regardless of the opponent, you have to like such a dominant effort. Plenty of programs got scares this weekend. Our game was never in doubt.I don't know if we resolved anything on the QB front. I guess Shinskie is ahead of the pack, but Tuggle played...

It is only Northeastern and it is only online, but this is still BC football! Let's hope the Spaz era begins with a bang. Since this is a ESPN360 game, I will be online during the game but probably not posting. Feel free to leave your comments and thoughts below.

A few enterprising BC guys have put together a new BC Sports message board -- Eagle Outsider. The founding posters are some of the funniest and best of BC guys around. I think it will be a welcome destination for those who have grown frustrated with Eagle Action and Eagle Insider&...

Before the season starts I want to go on record with where I stand on Spaz. Other than wanting BC to win, there are no agendas on this blog. In 2006 we had a coaching search and Spaz was a candidate. At the time, I stated my preference for other options. In 2009 we had another coaching...

I’ve never been so excited and relieved to write a preview. As I will explain tomorrow, everything that has happened (good and bad) over the past nine months is behind us. It’s time to play football. Northeastern might not get your blood pumping, but the Huskies are the first step...

I really didn't want to get into a whole Jags rehash and debate this week but Tampa Bay's move, my tendency to be a Jags apologist and some readers inability to step back and read all that I've said on the topics leads me to this post. I will try to keep things as short...

I hadn't expected to talk about Jags much this week, but he is top of mind this morning having been fired by Tampa Bay. I have no scoop on the situation and ultimately feel sorry for his family and the Logans. I go back to my sentiment in January that none of this had to happen...
