Given the sudden destruction of the Celtics Franchise lets hop into the NFL season:

Pats over 8.5 wins (+100) : Schedule includes Jets 2x, Dolphins 2x, Horrific NFC South of Tampa/Carolina/Atlanta/Saints, Last place teams: Raiders/Browns/Titans and the Giants and the Qb-less Steelers. The "Good" teams they have are Ravens/Bengals/Bills 2x

Gotta figure the Pats improve a lot with year 2 Maye, an influx of free agents/draft picks and competent people as coaches.

The Belmont, RBC Golf, Yanks/Red Sox, College WS and Keeks throwing out the first pitch (it was a ball and it counted) at The Savannah Banana's vs Party Animals in Charlotte. They will draw over 140k fans for a two game series Panther Stadium. 80k fans at Clemson Stadium. What a story. It is actually fun to watch.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College Athletics and New Balance have further expanded their relationship to include the Eagles' football program as part of their comprehensive apparel deal. Beginning with the upcoming 2025 season, all aspects of BC Football's apparel and footwear will be produced by New Balance.

The extension into the football space strengthens the historic deal between Boston College and New Balance, which started four years ago. In April 2021, BC Athletics and New Balance agreed to the largest financial footwear and apparel agreement in school history. Moving forward with the addition of football, New Balance will provide footwear, apparel, and accessories for all 31 of BC's varsity sports.

"Boston College is thrilled to grow in its relationship with New Balance. Since 2021, BC has been proud to align with New Balance - a Boston-based company that is a premium, world-class athletic brand," said William V. Campbell Director of Athletics Blake James. "Serving as their flagship school in the collegiate athletics space, New Balance has demonstrated their commitment to Boston College by providing significant resources and the highest quality product lines to all of our teams and student-athletes. Our local connection to New Balance's global brand serves to strengthen the foundation of this relationship."

The pinnacle of this announcement: Boston College will serve as the first major NCAA football sponsorship for New Balance, developing best-in-class products for athletes competing at the highest level.

"Our players and staff are thrilled to represent two iconic brands - Boston College and New Balance," said Gregory P. Barber '69 and Family Head Coach Bill O'Brien. "Being the only power conference college football program to align with a cutting-edge organization like New Balance is a great opportunity that sets us apart."

Throughout the relationship, New Balance has centered its innovation and investment in Boston College Athletics on a commitment to excellence and purpose. From groundbreaking advances at the New Balance Sports Research Lab to an intelligent approach to better-fitting, high-performance gear, the two iconic Boston brands work seamlessly together to uplift their shared community. As the relationship expands into football, it sets a new standard for football excellence - rooted in legacy, driven by craft and built for the highest level of competition.

"As a Boston College alum, I am proud to see two iconic Boston institutions coming together to make the game better," said New Balance Vice President of Sport, Ray Hilvert. "The addition of the Eagles Football program to our existing sponsorship is a testament to the strong collaboration and spirit of excellence that defines the Eagles, New Balance and the city of Boston. Together, we are building a unique community that will inspire future generations of players, fans and leaders."

Can't sneak anything by today's FBI.

I called up the B.C. ticket office to buy football tickets for a single game. The person I talked to said that season tickets had increased by 6,000 and go to SeekGeek for good single game tickets. I find it hard to believe that season tickets increased by that much but there were not a lot of good tickets available for the games.

Tyler will be helping out for the season, no official title. Matt Applebaum really excited about people doubting the O-line. O'Brien was thrilled with the turnout and thinks this 'mega camp' will be an every year thing now.

BC still looking at 27 QBs despite Furian Inferrera verbal commitment, think these 2 year out QB verbals will be an up and down ride for BC

Hoping to get there and cover some of the action on Sunday...I'll be at the 7-v-7 thing too pending lacrosse state championship dates

Fordham - 2 pm
Michigan State - 7:30 (NBC)

National games 2 of the first 3 weeks…

Not sure how many people are headed to campus this weekend...but if you are... a big warning. There's a major road project happening this weekend at the Pike/95 interchange and the Pike will be down to one lane both ways for a stretch. Definitely worth finding a way around it.
