Meineke Charlotte Muffler Tire Continental Bowl Prediction

Sitting in a public library in Asheville, NC right now so no time for a full preview, but I think BC is fired up for this one and the Eagles will roll. Navy's triple option will cause BC a few problems early but our LBs have the speed to shut it down and the defense will adjust by the end of the first quarter. Prediction: BC 45, Navy 14.

See you all in Charlotte.

I'm in NC visiting family this week anyway, so no reason not to hit the game and celebrate the ringing in of a new era in BC football.

I am w/you. BC has a lot to be "fired up" about. Enjoy that NC BBQ!

I was pretty pissed off by BC's performance as well as the trash talking. I saw a BC dl talking trash on the sidelines to a Navy player had unloaded a hail of obscenities at the fat fucker who had the nerve to talk like that to one of my own. I found myself rooting for both teams like a friggin soccer mom. Great game by Navy and a lucky break by BC.

Wow, great fans you are, ass holes.

Great win today, an incredibly exciting game, and a storybook ending.

On to bigger and better things, and hopefully along the way picking up some real fans.

You're right, why bother watching the game, I mean... it wasn't the national title game. I'm turning off the TV and turning in my season tickets to hockey, hoops and footbal-- call me when someone makes the national title game... god forbid one be happy for the team for winning a game.

Fuck off. We can't get to that next level without real support.

screw u guys. joe is right.

bc has the worst fans in the country. for any sport. basketball fans are egregious, if it isnt an ACC game or against a ranked team, the place is the morgue that i was always told it was as a pre-frosh.

football, same deal. if it isnt a good team were facing, no one cares. we'll get several fans yeah, but everyone is gone by the 4th quarter and we dont get as many fans in the first place as such a high-ranking D-1 ACC school should.

and people wonder why we get shafted on bowls.

and this game, you all are saying 'oh its a crappy bowl, who cares?'

that's the problem with 50% of BC's fans...they care about the other team more than their own!!!

a huge reason i came to this school was because of its sports programs. all i heard was how bad our fans were, and i refused to believe it. but it's fucking true. we go to arguably the best all-around, all-things-considered schools in the COUNTRY, and yet our "fans" cant get out there to support our teams.

i would be embarassed to be a player on any team that gets disrespected like that.

to all the good fans that go out there any game, any time, just to cheer on the school you love, i salute you, and im proud to call myself one of you.

but to you ASSHOLES who shell out a thousand dollars over the course of two semesters just to watch ur team play clemson, duke, unc, BU, or any other high-profile team and dont bother with the other games,

FUCK you. GET THE FUCK OUT THERE AND SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOL. YOU ARE AN EMBARASSMENT TO THE SCHOOL I LOVE.

I honestly think we'll see a change once the newer generations of Alumni displace the old. Also, BC has to market the team to the greater Boston community instead of keeping our games a relative secret from non-alumni. Conte Forum will fill up if you put an emphasis on selling tickets rather than overvaluing the demand for tickets and charging PSLs. Gene D gets his shot with the new coach, and Leahy's talents are best suited toward the academic and fundraising aspects of university management (and he's marvelous at both).

The problem is complacency. A vocal portion of the alumni are perfectly happy with the status quo. They seemingly have a limited knowledge of the ins-and-outs of the game of football and see a hollow 10-3 campaign as a resounding success. These are the old alumni I mentioned above. I think the newer alumni will push for ACC championships and BCS bids without tolerating the proliferation of meaningless bowl games and second place finishes which have come to define BC in recent years. Also remember, no major college program succeeds without a large number of non-alumni fans.

So market the team, improve the quality of the product, and de-emphasize the old stodgy alums and we'll be in business. I'm looking forward to 2007 and beyond, but right now it's hockey season!

well then. you basically said everything i said. i completely agree with everything you said. and you are one of those fans who CLEARLY dosnt care about ur own team and only cares about 'meaningful' games, and doesnt give a shit about going out and supporting your own team no matter WHO theyre playing.

ur unbelievable. i cant believe u like, literally repeated what i said to make me seem wrong--i agree with what you said, cept, i think that makes you a terrible terrible fan.

I wasn't at the game, and I agree that it's tough to shell out that kind of money to watch the game. BUT that doesn't mean you can't be happy about the win and enjoy the game just because it is , in your opinion, 'meaningless.'

Take a look at the players' faces after that game ended-- on both sides. Did it look meaningless to them? Maybe they were just pretending.

You continue to not answer my fundamental question, which is, if you can't be happy until it's a BCS game, why bother watching any of the games? I mean, a win over Notre Dame would be nice next year, but we've already beaten them quite a few times, so it's not like it would be PROGRESS or anything. And it doesn't count in the ACC standings so it can't send us to a BCS bowl, AKA the only games that people are allowed to care about. So I might as well cancel that trip to South Bend I had planned. Oh well

You know what - 7 years ago we were ha[[y with the Insight Bowl and the Emerald Bowl and the Mieneke Bowl, etc. The issue is, those get a little old when you seem to have hit a hard ceiling. In two of the last three years, we had a legitimate shot to get to a BCS Bowl game or at least a big second tier game. And we come out and lose to teams we should beat. Hard to call people who put the time and effort into following the team on the various blogs and boards "not real fans". They certainy care and there is nothing wrong with wanting more. This staff had peaked and a change was required. I guarantee that if BC gets to the Peach Bowl or Gator Bowl, much less a BCS game, the fans will go. Not because they only care about the big games, but because there will finally be some hope for the program.

When you go 8-3 every year, you are supposed to be happy, but it's hard when 5 or 6 wins are dead solid lock from scheduling and you go .500 or so in the games that are competitive.

my issue isnt with the people that criticize the coaches and the team, my issue is with the people who say 'oh who cares, why bother' if it isnt quite as big a game as they had hope.

just because we didnt get to the orange bowl doesnt mean our team doesnt deserve to be supported
