The “trans athletes in college sports” debacle is hands down one of the fakest political topics of my lifetime. This is not a real issue anywhere in this country yet people don’t stop obsessing over it
BC athletics have poisoned my brain so badly that when my boss said “there is a path” at work I nearly lost it (he was in fact not referring to Boston College football but rather our yearly adjusted EBITDA target)
@CF_Budge
The only punting you’ll experience firsthand this season is me punting your face into the side of the bar at Tom English’s Cottage if you ever come to Boston
Never can predict how a coach’s tenure will go but this is the best I’ve felt about a major BC hire on paper maybe ever. Good process - hoping results will be equally as good. Not an easy job but if bad coaches like Daz/Haf can win 6-7 here consistently a good coach can do more
Sources: Boston College is working toward a deal to hire Bill O’Brien as the school’s next head coach. A deal is expected soon, giving BC a well-regarded coach with extensive NFL experience and strong local ties.

@ArtestJones
couldn’t resist but yell “Go Eagles” at a group of BU guys, to which we got the classic “Not from
Boston.” Unfortunately for them that was an alley oop off the backboard for a “not playing tonight” response
Hell of a final college game for QP tonight. Wish we could’ve won more with a player like him but was a real pleasure to watch him grow from an SEC benchwarmer to one of the best bigs in the country and school history over the last 3 seasons. Hope he gets a cool pro opportunity

@ArtestJones
completely unprovoked on the concourse here in Providence and Marty telling him to get a job was a truly beautiful moment to witness
Absolute banger of a video showing a blatant hook that they try to excuse for being “away from the puck” (irrelevant) and providing an even better angle of what was actually an even more obvious goaltender interference call than I originally thought. Great work guys
Fun fact of the day: ‘Boston’ College isn’t even located in the city of Boston.
Tune in at 4:00 to watch the defending national champion Quinnipiac Bobcats face

LFG
Which schools ACTUALLY give 5-star, 4-star and 3-star players the highest (and lowest) percentage likelihood of getting selected in the NFL Draft?
40 hours of data-driven research went into providing you the data that doesn’t exist online anywhere else.

Tech held the spread for 45 mins as the 40th ranked team in the nation against the unanimous
#1
team all year and you are trying to brag about that? Holy shit buddy bc should’ve been up 8-0 in the first. I’ll be there for the bc downfall cause we know it’s coming in a few weeks🤣
Fun story with BC giving him his shot out of JUCO and him rewarding us with 100 (!!) starts in 3 seasons here. Great Eagle and hope to see him playing for a tourney team next year
Boston College junior guard Jaeden Zackery will go portaling, source told
@TheFieldOf68
.
Zackery averaged 11.3 points and 4.2 assists and shot 41 percent from 3 this past season. Has averaged double-figure scoring all 3 seasons in Chestnut Hill.
Everyone give the 30 year old man a big round of applause for announcing that he will not be furthering the online harassment campaign against a teenage college student! What a fucking hero!
@JackMacCFB
Hey Jack, how about you explicitly say what you mean here instead of letting the mouthbreathing bigots all over your replies here do it for you. Can’t imagine you will though because you agree with them
Finally have an excuse to share one of my favorite pieces of BC football data. We have losses to Newton High School, MIT freshmen, the Brockton YMCA, and what appears to be a BC alumni group. We do however have a signature win over Camp Bumpkin so extend coach Frank Morrissey
Never gets old to see opposing fans complain about the supposedly terrible tailgating at BC. It exists and is just fine, it’s just not for you. Road fans can have their pregame beers in fucking Needham for all I care. Sorry our stadium isn’t in a grotesquely large parking lot
So awesome to be sitting in Providence for this intermission knowing that in the next 30-60 minutes I will witness one of the best or most traumatizing moments of my time as a BC fan
And with this win in the books, the scourge of road games against G5 and independent teams that Brad Bates scheduled a decade ago are over. No more road trips to Temple, UMass, UConn, and Army - we are finally free
For the last decade l've spent approx. 2-3 days a week in Watertown (15 mins away from BC) and can count on my hands and toes how many times l've seen someone rocking BC attire & those few times are usually 60+ yr olds
99% of the maroon and gold "BC" apparel is BC High School
@BCBlakeJames
Harvard game at Conte on Saturday was some great hoops - amazing for the region! Been doing some research for future basketball non-conference opponents. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far for next season please let me know your thoughts
tough time to get goalie’d for the first time all season but BC owned that 3rd period and got nothing. have to tip your cap to an excellently coached denver team that has a ton of talent
Awesome win - best front to back effort this team has played in a while with so many guys stepping up. Also, best non-con win in ages - per KenPom this is our best since Texas A&M on a neutral site in 2011 (!!). Take care of business against Lehigh and non-con play was a success
It’s true, I just got out of Merkert where we are manufacturing this virus on BC campus. Unfortunately half the class died during our first meeting of the semester today but at least that means it works!
Boston College security temporarily prevented these paying fans from entering the game tonight because they were wearing
#Flyers
gear.
They were eventually let in. Boston College is playing Providence right now at the Conte Forum in Chesnut Hill, MA.
Was sent this info from a
Many are saying that the Denver Nuggets wouldn’t have won the title without the incredible 1 minute Boston College legend Reggie Jackson gave them in Game 3
This is feeling like a repeat of the Birmingham Bowl after the 2019 season. Get a top 25 team while we are in the gutter - absolutely hate drawing this. Not really a winnable game, in our own city against a team we play next year because they’re joining our conference
1 assignment standing between me and a Boston College diploma. Considering not turning it in so I can experience one more semester of sitting courtside for an inevitable loss to the New Jersey Institute of Technology
7 Ws in a row against the flagship now. Always nice to play a game that was clearly not our best and still comfortably beat a top 10 Pairwise team on the road to the point where the stands empty out minutes before the clock hits 0
Sad to see him go so soon but that’s the risk you take to have such a great player end up here. Incredible year leading the NCAA in points in his only college season and making a FF. His demolition of BU in the HE title game will always be a favorite BC hockey memory of mine
First BC hoops-induced meltdown of the year is always a beautiful sight. Never had anything against the University of Richmond but you know what? Fuck ‘em a spider is a stupid mascot anyway
Just came to after a 2 day Celsius-induced haze without any sleep or food outside of 5AM chicken and waffles at Fish Fieldhouse. Couldn’t be happier to finally be able to call myself a BC alum. So thankful for all the great people I met, especially the other passionate diehards.
Absolutely genius move by the athletic department to only make tickets to the biggest hockey game of the semester available at a women’s basketball game in the early evening when an enormous % of the student body has class! Blake James has done it again!
Me searching “Boston College” on this app to get news about my favorite college team and 95% of the results are just mouthbreathers that hate FSU saying they nearly lost to us and are therefore trash
Been waiting a minute for BC to have another one of those periods where they just stomp on their opponent’s neck and absolutely nobody can do a damn thing about it. Good time for one of those

I have bad news everyone.
I have somehow talked myself into being excited for the upcoming football season even with very little reason to be optimistic. Looking forward to the Brighton Lot in 44 days.
@EagleFlight1001
if football alums want to hire Al Washington so badly they better put up some real $$$ to ensure his success because otherwise I don’t care who they want
Congrats to Boston College, which takes over as the new No. 1 men's hockey team in both polls, one spot ahead of a Denver team that *checks notes* won at BC ten days ago.
Welcome to college hockey, where everything's made up and the polls don't matter.
Quality start to the season for Birdball. Think this calls for the introduction of the

Never Back Down PAC sends this young man as a “tracker” to my NH events to take videos with the goal of capturing negative moments to feed to their online influencers. I’ve gotten to know him, he’s a good kid. And a hard worker too, which I respect. A good hire!
Awesome that we have played our way into the nightmare scenario of Hafley going 6-6 against a horrid schedule and keeping his job because we make a shitty bowl
