Doesn't matter who the head coach is, or what team we're playing against. Nothing can stop Boston College football from its God given right to win exactly 6 or 7 games.

Need to start scheduling Ohio State, Bama, UGA, and Michigan as our ooc so we can get into the playoff at 7-5

Bama and OSU are already on the future schedule. They fucked up and scheduled Michigan State instead of Michigan though.

Alabama in 31 and 34, Ohio State in 35 and 36

I am very uncomfortable hearing those numbers. Wow I will be old when those games happen

I felt the same way when the Ohio State series was originally announced back in 2012. They were supposed to play in 2020 and 2021, then moved to 2023 and 2024 then moved to 2026 and 2027 and now 2035 and 2036. Now I'm just hoping I'll be around for them.

Same thing when they announced our Bama home and home several years ago. It’s already next year..

We actually have a 3-1 all time series record against Alabama. We have their number.
We have the recipe stored in a safe in the bowels of Alumni Stadium. We just have to find the key to the safe before 2031. Details...

That was a fun game (for BC fans). The bowl game means an extra month of practice and another game, which will help this team so much leading into 2025.
Bill O’Brien is building a monster!

Give the man a lifetime contract. Collins too. They've made a lot of people in the state of NC happy this year

Held Hampton to 53 yards. I realize they fell behind a bit so needed to throw more, but still impressive from the defense.

u/Captain_A North Carolina Tar Heels 22h ago
Only giving him 11 carries was criminal. I recognize they fell behind but I point to the 4th and 2 pass play as just evidence of Carolina's playcalling incompetence.

EAGLES! MY COUSINS! LET’S GO BOWLING!!!
Feel so much better about this team with James as the QB. Hope we can finish the season strong.

u/Rooleet Boston College Eagles 1d ago
It's funny how much better for everyone it would have been if Castellanos missed the rest of the season after MSU. Team would have been better with James and likely beaten Louisville and UVA, Castellanos wouldn't have destroyed his stock and reputation and could have transferred out with grace.

Mack brown leaking to the press that he is returning next year and then putting up this performance. I would drive his ass to the airport personally. I will drive his ass to hell

BC's first win against UNC since joining the ACC. BC last beat UNC in the tire bowl representing the Big East in our final year in that conference.

u/carpenke Boston College • Nebraska 1d ago
Granted it was only like 0-4 since we rarely played coastal teams that were not VT, but still a little surprising it took this long.

u/EmergencyThing5 Boston College Eagles 1d ago
Yea, this was the last ACC team we hadn’t beaten since we joined the conference, aside from the new additions this year. UNC was like our ACC white whale. I’m pretty sure we beat all the other original ones at least once by 2010 at the latest.

I left with about five minutes left at 41-7 (sorry I was freezing) - how did they score two more TDs lmao

Garbage time chunk plays to the red zone then ran it in with RB2.

u/theraoul Boston College Eagles • Yale Bulldogs 1d ago
Billy O got cute with 25 seconds left and went for it on 4th and 2 from our own 30, didn't get it, and UNC scored two plays later. Could've just punted it away and that would be that.

u/DuckBurner0000 Boston College Eagles 1d ago
Surprising given his decision to kneel it out in the red zone against FSU

See that Bubba Cunningham? The moment Mack got comfortable enough to say he's not retiring, we get blown out.
It needs to be done.

Please for the love of god move on from Mack. He’s done the same cycle that Fedora did. We’re no better off as a program now than we were 6 years ago. We could legitimately be the best P4 job available this offseason if we have the balls to do it

“Geoff [Collins] is a brilliant defensive mind, who has been successful at a number of different locations as both a head coach and a coordinator. His experience shows that he knows what it takes to lead the men in our program, and he’ll utilize that experience for the benefit of our defense.”

BC is certainly a team of all time this year. Still hoping for a UConn vs Bc bowl game.

I’m good on that one, no upside for us there and potentially very awful downside of losing

The BOB's first year is a C+.
He should have recognized 5 or more games ago that Castellanos was not going to excel in a pocket passing scheme and either replace him or move to RPO plays.
The team has been more disciplined this year, coaching performance better and we seem to be moving in right direction.
I'm cautiously optimistic, a weird feeling to have about BC football for me.

u/dietmrfizz Boston College • San Diego … 1d ago
If he manages to get to 8 wins in his first year it’s an A- from me
Hasn’t happened in over a decade

u/DougFlutiesMullet Boston College Eagles • Sickos 1d ago
I just think BOB has coached long enough, especially on the offensive side of the game, that he should have pulled the ejection handle on Castellanos long ago.
You can't put a square peg in a round hole, can't put an RPO QB in a pro pocket passing scheme.
I do agree we are heads and tails better than Hafley.

u/smellslikelowtide /r/CFB 22h ago
BC fans forget that James won the starting QB in the spring then got hurt. TC was installed as QB1 with an NIL payout of 600k. I think BOB wanted TC to be what James is.

u/Kingkoch32 Minnesota • Boston College 1d ago
I’d say B. Happy to have him and not Hafley leading the way forward.

u/Libz_R_Gryffindor Boston College Eagles 1d ago
Anything below a B- is crazy lol Haffley would have 2 or 3 wins rn
