I guess this means more beach time
A few years ago BC went down and won the Paradise Jam. It was an unexpected run and announced that they were a team to be reckoned with. I thought this year's Jam would be another spring board. Instead we lost to St. Joes Friday . The big news is that Sanders went down early with an ankle ...

BC-North Carolina preview
I hate entering this game with our destiny still dependent upon Clemson losing. Fortunately the noon start means the guys will take the field with an open mind and no idea what will happen between Virginia and Clemson later in the day. UNC cannot win their division, but they are on a definite ...

New look for The Heights and other links
In honor their 90th anniversary The Heights has updated their web site . Definitely check it out and I recommend reading the Heights' sports section on a regular basis. Over the past few years it has been the launching point for some very good BC writers. In other news to be proud of, BC ...

Guest Blogger: Tarheel Monthly
In the past we had Turner from Heelsblog guest blog here. Turner is now with Tarheel Monthly but still has the scoop on one of the hotter teams in the conference. Last year UNC smashed us in Chapel Hill. Will we get the same sort of team this weekend? To find out, I asked him some questions ...

Ho hum: we beat St. Francis
Another tune up went well as BC beat St. Francis tonight . I didn't see it, but I am encouraged by a few things... Tyler Roche is locked in from 3. We made most of our free throws. We didn't let them hang around. What I am bothered by is our poor shooting from 3 by everyone else. We will need to ...

Blogpoll ballot
I bumped up every conceivable ACC but BC. Why? Have you seen the results of the The Coulter/Kos Award this year ? I don't want to be responsible for cursing BC. As for the non superstitious votes, I am starting to waiver on Florida. Fortunately on the SEC side, things will be settled on the ...

What to make of Shinskie's stats?
Last year when Jags kept excusing Chris Crane's play because he was a "rookie" I felt it was a cop out. This season I am more willing to accept the "rook'e" tag as an excuse for Shinskie. Crane had four years in the program and two with Logan. Shinskie was in Spring Training in Florida this ...

Marylad kickoff announced and other links
The Maryland game will be a 3:30 start and carried on ESPN U . I will actually be there in person and look forward to meet some of you. This means we will not play a primetime game this season. The last time we had an all day game schedule was 1997 (TOB's first year). The experts have been ...

Second viewing thougths and grade report: Virginia
It wasn't a fun game to watch live and not particularly fun to watch back. Maybe it was the awful direction of the 360 broadcast. Maybe it was the dark picture. Maybe it was the lifeless crowd. But the game lacked energy and I wish our guys had done more to change the mood. Although we weren't ...

The reality of clock management
One of the areas that I will be critical of Spaz in my write up will be his ultra conservative game management. After moving the ball out of our own end successfully with run and pass, Spaz starting killing clock once we got to midfield. The problem with that idea was that there was still way ...

Staying alive
It certainly is a game of inches. This had all the makings of a WTF game. We were flat against a lame duck coach. We allowed a non offensive touchdown. Consistent players kept making mistakes. Weird calls and then throw in your random chain problem. Yet we didn't let those things spoil the day ...

In-game comments post: Virginia
Clemson won earlier, so this is now a must win. Let's hope our road woes are behind us. Go BC! I will be online during the game but will probably not be leaving comments. Leave your thoughts and comments below.

Busy Friday night
Basketball won despite the suspension. It was a career night for Tyler Roche . The women's soccer team advanced in the NCAA Tournament by beating Harvard. The men's soccer team lost to NC State . Despite the loss they should still make the NCAAs as an at large.

Starters suspended
We will be without Sanders, Raji and Dunn against Dartmouth and for the next game. No specifics are given other than the violation of team rules. I was told from unnamed folks that this is not a big deal or a sign of a bigger problem. It is more BC being BC.

ESPN 360 put a little damper on the Game Watch momentum. But below are the troopers including the UNOFFICIAL Denver Watch. If you can't get 360, get yourself to one of these places. Chicago Game Watch Trinity Bar 2721 N. Halsted (Diversey & Halsted) on the border of Lincoln Park and Lakeview  ...

BC-Virginia Preview
Like last year BC needs to run the table if they want to get to Tampa. Unlike last year though, they need a little help. (I will get to that later.). But we can't worry about what happens in Raleigh. BC just needs to get it done against Virginia. Narrative talking point that you’ll tire of by ...

Paris's path to Boston and other links
The Globe published a great feature on Biko Pari s. When outsiders predict 9th place finishes, I think they are underestimating Paris' ability to fill Rice's shoes. BC beat Duke in the ACC Tournamen t and advanced to semis. The Eagles take on NC State on Friday. The Herald published Mike ...

A friendly debate with Brad Zak
Following my critical post on Brad Zak's ESPNBoston article , Brad reached out to me to defend himself. We took our email conversation and moved it here. I think we see things differently but at least Brad has more space to explain his position. As always you can leave your thoughts on ...
