[VA Cane]

Just lucky Solar, was adding couple on the last blog.
Hope we have a little lady luck tonight!! Never hurts!!

[VA Cane]

I was looking at our roster; 6 place kickers listed!!
2 punters listed....both are bad real bad!
I have never seen us so bad in the kicking game....and the kick coverage game ever!
Thomas is very good and even DJ has done well when he was in there....but our kick and punt coverage, kicking FG XP are ....a mystery....poor and there is no excuse!
Lets hope for better!

Boston College and Miami will meet for the 30th time in series history Friday.
BC is 5-24 all-time against the Hurricanes. It is the first meeting between the two schools since Miami’s 41-32 victory at Alumni Stadium to open the 2012 season.
BC is 3-9 all-time against Miami in Chestnut Hill. The last time BC defeated the Hurricanes at home was a 28-14 victory in 2007.

Boston College will recognize the family of Welles Crowther, a former BC lacrosse player, during the game against Miami, in BC’s annual Red Bandana Game.
Crowther is known as the “Man in the Red Bandana” after he saved over a dozen lives in the South Tower of the World Trade Center during the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. He wore a red bandana, which he carried with him and wore during his playing days at the Heights, to protect himself from the smoke and dust.

Not even close.......

[Bermuda Triangle]

That BC back is a grown ass man.

[solarcabe]

Same ol shyt

[solarcane]

Lets see whats cooking 2 run plays an incomplete pass and short punt

Same game plan same result

[mi@mic@ne]

up tempo...richt must have read the space ...lol

[VA Cane]

Pretty nice play...surprised we got the call....The one to Wiggins the announcer said should have been caught...no way too far behind him.
Nice drive if we can do that consistently we will be ok...the D got punched in the face...they must play better...step up guys!
Execution Aggression important....that motion call is so common for us...think guys!

[mi@mic@ne]

they must handle the te...or it will be a long night

[VA Cane]

Agreed miami stop that old slow stuff...too much thinking no action!

[VA Cane]

That trick stuff is so predictable how we continue to bite on it amazes me...stay with your guy!

[mi@mic@ne]

man every year we get beat by that ofense

[mi@mic@ne]

trick plays are killing us ...and the te...two dam plays

[JRamos]

what is going on with the D, looking like the Dolphins last night smh!!!

[Nick]

Overrated defense. When they don't create turnovers they are toast. BC is going to pound them and wear them out. Terrible job!

[mi@mic@ne]

he cant run the trick plays all game...we need to pick him off ...we missed an easy pick

[solarcane]

Diaz can adjust as well as anybody but he has to do it before halftime

[JRamos]

Had a bye week and still looking discombobulated

[The 1st Horseman]

The End Is Near

Where do send my Banner donation

[Elliott]

Wow. BC looks real good!

[mi@mic@ne]

we are struggling with an unranked team...think about that

[mi@mic@ne]

Butch that is all

[solarcane]

we are struggling with an unranked team...think about that

Posted by: mi@mic@ne | October 26, 2018 at 07:41

we been in the wrong conference for a decade

[VA Cane]

The blocking is not good....any qb would have problems. now we need a quick stop...cannot allow anther TD...If I am BC I run it right at that D. 40 degrees, cold for us...run them big backs 4 quarters make us tackle...are we up to it? I would find out if i am BC.
they are much improved...I remember when they were not so good.
I am not a fan of any Boston area team; that being said they are all tough and competitive.
Pats, Celts, Red Sox, BC....tough customers that i respect very much!

[Elliott]

Team looks horrible. We lose every game left this year. I’m disgusted.

[mi@mic@ne]

te...what a killa

[mi@mic@ne]

every year ...its over

[VA Cane]

I like their approach to offense...hard tough but quick...like it!
I do it that way...sigh...always wanted us to do it that way...we used to run it use TE...power at you....what the heck went wrong guys?
Clappy Randy AlPa CMR...thats what went wrong....soft passive nice guy approach to a tough game...got to go after people....initiate contact in all 3 phases

[AeroCane]

I had no idea we were playing Alabama tonight;

[solarcane]

VA its that marky mark gene they are born with.

[mi@mic@ne]

we cannot get to the next level with richt...we ve had coaches who got us there...butch

[JRamos]

209yds for BC in the 1st, ship sinking fast

[Herbieibis]

Their running what we z
Should be running a true pro style. Problem my is it's hard to find zma QB any more who plays under center.
The Herb mentioned last week that the Dee is due for a bad half, well it's here.

[AeroCane]

Richt is done! He should not have taken this job - it’s clear he’s not even as motivated or good as he was at Georgia, and he wasn’t a world beater there either.

Bad job by Blake James and most of us knew this.

As in business- cut your losses! Do it! Make Diaz the interim and then hire whoever - someone who will hire qualified coordinators and not their relatives

[The 1st Horseman]

1st mothfuka that gotta go is Blake James

[VA Cane]

Do we want to tackle that big boy....grab and arm tackle....got to wrap him up.
They are pretty good indeed!

[AeroCane]

Diaz had 2 weeks and couldn’t prepare - shit
Maybe this will be richts ‘Golden’s Clemson’

[mi@mic@ne]

We all new this was gonna happen...the decision was a let down

[VA Cane]

That back is tough...keeps moving...churning....and we back off too cold hes to big we are not into it....there are no excuses for that kind of tackling.

[the 1st Horseman]

Season Over

[Nick]

This is an absolute disgraceful performance by this team!!!! Richt has to go!!!

[Herbieibis]

Arm tackling ain't getting it. Dee looks drugged.
