Your 2010 UConn Huskies, ladies and gentlemen.
Stay classy.
Phil Steele's All-ACC team
Harris, Castonzo, Kuechly 1st team
Scafe 2d team (unexpectedly nice!!)
KPL 3rd team (unexpectedly nice too!!)
Claiborne, Quigley 4th team
Freese frozen out. (kid should be at least 2d team)
Looks like we could be sending three defensemen to the <>US World Juniors<> team as well as Kreider once again.
The only games they'd miss would be the Ledyard Bank Tournament up at Dartmouth. We'll be extremely thin on the blue line if all three go.
I have a friend who works for the Carolina Hurricanes. He told me that Brian Dumoulin and Philip Samuelsson were special when they were in the Hurricane's camp before ever playing for BC (the were committed to BC). I'm sure that Wey and Kreider are special as well.
Back to football - in looking at Phil Steele's FBS Power Ratings - I suppose that it's no surprise that we beat the teams ranked lower than us, and lost to the teams ranked higher than us.
We will have to break that mold to beat Nevada - a team ranked higher than NC State, Maryland and Notre Dame. The only ACC teams ranked higher in the power ratings are Virginia Tech (140) and Florida State (135).
Nevada is at 133 BC is at 122. (Boise is 144)
The school with the highest power rating is - STANFORD at 147, slightly ahead of Auburn, TCU, Oregon and Boise.
Does this mean anything? Of course, because we have to talk about something.
Let's go Basketball - Let's go Hockey.
Here's another tidbit:
BC played 8 teams with winning records - Nevada played 6.

Thanks for the link DoubleEagle. Is that video the feed from BC's jumbotron?
Okay - you can tell when I'm sitting in a hotel room.
Newsflash re: Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (BTW - I think this is a noble cause)
Updated: Wednesday 12/08/2010 14:12:40
by Nevada
RENO, Nev. — The University of Nevada has sold nearly 15,000 tickets for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in the four days since tickets went on sale, athletics department officials said today.
My prediction - Top Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick #10 will throw 25
passes against the Eagles and complete 16, for 218 yards for 2 TDs with 1 INT and 1 SACK.
Vai Taua #34 will run 20 times for 116 yards and 1 TD (he might break a long one).
Anthony Martinez #40 1 for 2 Field goals.
Nevada will score 24 points this way. Will Kaepernick also score on the ground?
Okay BC - how are we going to score 25 or more?
BTW - Against a Boise defense that was No. 1 in the nation against the run (at that time), the Wolf Pack ran at will. 52 attempts for 288 yards (lost 19)= 5.2 yards per run.
Oh boy - if Kaepernick runs for 125 yards in addition to Taua - we're in Deep Kimchee! I'll give him 1 more TD as of today.
Nevada = 31 points.
BC - we need 32 - let's get on it.
After the Syracuse game, 18 year old Andre Williams - "I couldn't have guessed I would get the ball 42 times," he said. "I hadn't even seen Montel carry the ball that many times in a game.
There were certain times it was definitely a passing situation and I'd hear the play in the huddle and it was a running play. One time, it was third-and-8 and [I got the ball] for a running play. I felt like it was saying a lot from the coaches that they really did have faith in me".
That also says something about the mentality of our Offensive Coordinator.
Prediction - he'll try to get ahead, and BC will thereafter play Prevent Offense AND Prevent Defense.
Final Score BC 17 Nevada 16 3/4.
Women's basketball final
BC 98, Holy Cross 64
BC women are now 9-0
By the way, the BC Eagles basketball team has not trailed at any point during the last 3 and a half games.
For the record, flights to San Francisco are VERY cheap right now. I'm heading out there at hightravel times, Friday-Monday, flying direct from NJ for 300. Step up people!
bjk: kreider has done more to earn being called special than any of the three defensemen combined. in fact, samuelson and dumoulin are absolutely frustrating to watch sometimes for the dumb plays they make all too frequently.
that hoops game tonight was ugly down the stretch. our foul shooting, which had been great all season, fell apart and providence got real hot from 3. trapani made a heap of mental mistakes. he went to the line with 1.7 seconds left...shooting two, up one. hit the first, missed the second. providence rebounded, threw up a 3/4 court shot that hit the rim, bounced up, grazed the backboard and just missed falling in. it would have been an absolute gut punch and we are lucky to have survived. i am glad we pulled it out, but it was in spite of our play down the stretch and not because of it. poor ball handling, stupid shot selection (moton's dribble drive early in the shot clock), and the return of mistakes on the inbounds. let's hope we can correct it for sunday's ACC opener.
Thanks Ry - I haven't been able to see our hockey team in action yet this year, so thanks for the clarification about Kreider.
