is it to identify good basketball players? I don’t get it because we seem to way too often bring in pretty well ranked kids who can quickly be deemed not very good basketball players. Go to some playgrounds and find some kids who can run, and jump, and shoot. It’s not that complicated.

Anthony Brown quarterbacked the Baltimore Ravens to a 16 to 14 road victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers this afternoon.

BC Vollyball team is on a roll. Off to the finals of the NIVC Tournament in Iowa against Drake. They have had a very impressive season, especially compared to other fall sports at BC! Congratulations Ladies! Good Luck in Des Moines.

First, where is my dable official preview? Has the team broken even you at this point?

Second, along with Hand (obviously), it looks like MAL and Post are officially out tonight (according to one injury report I see). Aligbe is not listed on the injury report but per Grant, I would guess he will be on limited minutes.

Let’s get a win and get a bit closer to having a healthy team.

Who else is making the trip to Newark?

I’ll be there +9, I imagine we’ll comprise a small maroon patch in a sea of blue and white

Just called us Boston College University during Coach York’s ceremony. What a friggin disaster

BC Signs Hafley to Five-Year Extension Through 2026​

It’s official. Jeff Hafley isn’t going anywhere.

The second-year Boston College head coach signed a five-year extension through 2026 Monday afternoon.

“Jeff has had a tremendous impact on our football program over just two seasons at the Heights,” BC Athletic Director Pat Kraft wrote in a BCEagles.com statement.

“He has built a strong culture, both on and off the field, recruited talented student-athletes and helped us build meaningful relationships for the entire Boston College community. We are excited for the future of BC Football under Jeff’s leadership.”

Hafley is 12-11 as the Eagles’ head coach since taking over in 2020.

Last year, when BC was predicted by many to bottom out the ACC, the former Ohio State co-defensive coordinator and seven-year NFL assistant guided BC to a 6-5 record. The Eagles lost to No. 1 Clemson and No. 2 Notre Dame by a combined 20 points and were a two-point conversion away from forcing overtime against No. 12 North Carolina.

Meanwhile, Hafley oversaw a BC squad that helped set the standard for COVID-19 prevention in college football. The Eagles had only one player test positive for the virus all season, and the team didn’t miss a practice or a game because of COVID-19.

Expectations were large for the 2021 season. BC was pegged as an ACC dark horse. An assortment of injuries, most notably a fracture to the throwing hand of starting quarterback Phil Jurkovec, derailed BC’s season. A year removed from boasting the conference’s third-best passing attack, the Eagles averaged a putrid 16.4 points per game in ACC play.

BC finished below .500 in league competition for the first time since 2016 yet clinched bowl eligibility for the sixth season in a row.

Hafley has enjoyed great success on the recruiting trail. Last year, his 2021 class ranked 33rd nationally, according to Rivals, which was BC’s highest-rated class since 2008. He’s one-upping that performance this cycle with a 2022 recruiting class that’s currently 24th (and fourth among ACC teams).

It would tie BC’s all-time best recruiting class ranking, according to Rivals. The Eagles were 24th nationally in both 2003 and 2004.

“I can’t say enough about the incredible support shown by Pat Kraft, Father Leahy and our entire university leadership,” Hafley said in the BCEagles.com statement. “From day one, Boston College has been a special place for my family and I, and we are thrilled to continue to be a part of this community.

“I am grateful for the dedication and hard work of our players, coaches and staff, who have come together to build a foundation for an incredible future.”

Love this.

One of his OTs is Bobby Haskins who went to Fairfield Prep and started at OT for UVA for a few years.

Played sports with his Dad growing up. Dad played LB at Columbia and Uncle played DE at Holy Cross.

Prince dominating.

Cross with an early td on one of my fave plays. Motion ghe rb out with a qb draw.

Sdsu would beat BC. Hell HC might beat BC opening game next year.

I want Chesney to be the next coach of BC. Watch this game. They are so well coached

Televised on ESPN. Good watch for New England fans thirsting for good football amidst miserable seasons for BC and the Pats. The Cross leads 7-0 halfway through the first. Their QB, Sluka, has some serious wheels on him

BC Men's basketball. Earl Grant is another zombie who feeds off of BC cash in a no expectations environment.

How is it possible that these top tier programs have combined to win one game this year? Should be a barn burner game today.

BC hockey had more points scored tonight than the number of combined points scored by the BC football team versus UConn, Clemson and ND.

What the current Athletic Director just called BC at Jerry York Night. Should be fired on the spot. Leahy embraces losers like it is a good thing.

The TOB era at Boston College came to a close
