Game 2 (2016): Boston College

[rayers]

It is definitely possible that we could pull this out. It would be a program changer perceptually for us I believe.

It does not hurt that they play Georgia Tech in Ireland before us and have Virgina Tech after. It actually works out well for a few games for us to be overlooked. Miss State has LSU before and Auburn after, South Carolina has Georgia before and Tenn after. The good thing about being us is we dont look past anyone.

Just checked NESN and NESNPlus. On TWC Athol-Orange, it's showing us on NESN not NESNPlus.
Anyone else seeing this on their cable packages?

It will probably depend on the Red Sox schedule. The Sox are playing at Toronto with first pitch at 1:07 pm. It would be on NESN unless they are the National game on FOX ( I believe) that day. Of course I think they would still do all the pre/post game stuff on NESN with us on plus? Maybe they would put us on NESN with the pre/post on PlUS. We will see.

Go UMass!

Then we are on the main NESN. See the Red Sox game scheduled on FOX.

Bamford said on his facebook live that game is on NESN all across the country. Red Sox game picked up by FOX. NESN does not do Pre and Post for National games.

Excellent - Let's just hope we show up.

[Old Cage]

Gotta love Chestnut Hill Prep's field goal attempts!

Does GT suck, or are we gonna get rocked by a very fast looking BC defense?

[TheInsider]

BC still has a good fast D... that being said GT does nothing on O.

I thought the BC QB looked pretty good. I hope Comis is/will be as good. The kicking game is a very sober reminder of our past failures in this area!

Past failures? I need to be shown that we're not still in the past. I absolutely cringe when we line up for a field goal.

Heartbreaking loss for BC

Heartbreaking loss for BC

Literally could not be happier at this outcome, particularly since second to UMass, Georgia Tech is my favorite college football team (due to family affiliations). I'm not sure it will matter next week, but I can't really think of a better outcome for UMass than BC being heartbroken, demoralized, and hopefully jet-lagged. It would mean so much if we could steal one from this bunch of deadbeats (Jim Reid excepted ). Here's hoping. Go UMass!!

Looking forward to beating BC. Should be a good game.
