How could it be incomplete if the ball never hit the ground? It was a simultaneous catch meaning offense keeps the ball
No flag?
Hey a guy can hope right?
All you can do is laugh at this point.
BC Nor--if we don't score more than 21, we have never won a ballgame this year...it's always been about breaking 21...and Nevada is the House so far.
Pass Interference much? And that's all she wrote
Did Rod Gilmore just invent his own PI rule?
Oh now I get it, Tranq doesn't call passes on 1st because of fluke INTs. Thanks morons
Yes he did
Missed tackles are killing us. Along with poor play calling, execution, and reffing.
Looks like the ump pulled a hammy, open him up.
Nevada secondary has been allowed to play "hands on" all night, even when the defender does not look back. When you can play aggressive and not get called and you know it, it's hard for a team like BC to complete passes.
Once this game is over, I am officially boycotting BC football until Tran is fired.
mmason: I was referring to the post that stated the ten point lead felt like fifty.
There should be some clause in the contract with OC's that you have to produce at least 1 TD per quarter or you're gone at the end of the season. That's not asking too much, really. This year has been ridiculous. What a waste of a great defense.
A breath of life? Oh wait, Tranquil already swallowed it.
Thank god for our defense
Now. Let's. Capitalize. At least one first down? Please?
We are losing by 10 and we are winning the turnover battle 3-1. Come on.
Someone really needs to explain to the D that turnovers are not enough, they have to score.
Eagles strip the ball and recover the fumble! Wow...too bad Rettig throws a ball that bounces like a grounder at ATT Park...
Holy shit
Wow. Now Tranq is going to run it on 3rd and 10 because of that.
Sustain this drive.
Since theyre playin in a baseball park, maybe they shouldve let Shinskie play tonight
That second-down throw was atrocious, but Rettig is having a really good game. This kid is going to be good.
HOLY TRICKERATION
I think all that cheering startled Tranq awake
Heads up play Costanzo.
Take your helmet off shinskie
GO FOR IT.
We can still win this game...it's like an LSD flashback from the 60's, right? A flashback with no interference calls, that is.
I don't understand throwing deep on a 3rd and 5 play when you need a first down.
Why am I still watching this? I have a job interview at 0630 tomorrow.
I'm going to become a raging alcoholic due to bc football
Good luck bcnorcal
I think you meant "raging alcholic"
Thank God I've got a snow day (expecting 1-4 inches) tomorrow so I can drink my sorrows away tonight. Gotta love the South.
Well, this game is over unless our D scores. This inept Tranq-fest is incapable of scoring 10 points. Best we can hope for is to close the gap to 3 points so it looks respectable and pray for a new offensive coach for next season.
But, here is a major question - is Spaz capable of hiring well? It's a skill that a lot of leaders don't have.
Hahaha yes
Well good thing Spaz isn't really a leader.
Think that nevada player gets a half tackle for that
Thank gosh for Nevada tackling his own player, that would have been another frustrating missed tackle.
Bravesbill,
1-4 inches? What a bunch of snow wussies. We're getting 5-8 here and we don't get snow days.
No way BC can drive 80+ years. Just punt it and save time, and hope to get a turnover.
On another note, has BC ever blocked a punt in the history of BC football?
Bob Davie really can't get over how fat this Nevada punter is. Worst. Commentator. Ever. Glad he's a part of ND's hallowed FB tradition.
I'm hoping for an improbable TD drive then a pick6 by herzlich to seal the game
was the golden voice the commercial for the national championship game that was on like half hour ago?
Luke again...unreal
When Davies coached ND he was always a lock to mismanage the clock against BC with 2 minutes left and we beat him repeatedly...he does not like us--we sort of ruined his career.
We need a TD plus here.
Hmm wait a minute, when we throw a bunch of times in a row, it makes running it easier?
Quick, someone send Tranq a telgraph with this news!!
BC needs to get to the line faster. We have no time to waste.
Goddamn this is a big play. What's the call here?
47 is a dirtbag
Hey fuck you 47
Nevada is F-ing dirty. They've been doing that stuff all night.
Precocious? Really?
What did he towel snap you in the locker room?
EB,
That's what happens when you live in South Carolina. Everyone freaks out at even the threat of snow.
Where is the urgency for BC? Do they teach them no huddle offense?
Maybe that streaker can play WR for us.
Mmason, is that you streaking across the field.
Why aren't we going for it? We don't have the time to punt it. Ugh. Frustration at an alltime high
Really Bobby?
There has to be an OC somewhere looking at all our freshman, our stud RBs and Larmond coming back and just calling GDF right now.
There's the golden voiced homeless commercial
I tell you what, I would have called a fake punt there a la Jags. It would have been totally unexpected coming from Spaz and probably would have worked. I don't think Spaz has called a fake all season.
Nevada is just going to run the clock out now.
Time to commence Operation Make a Trail of Butterscotch from the Booth into SF Bay
Well, our defense proved that Half of BC's program is happening...
Spaz considers it a victory if BC loses by 10 or less.
Fox shoulda pick6-ed that.
BC has shut them down, because they don't play in the WAC. They have ACC caliber talent, which, while it isn't the best in the country, goes to my point that if Boise State or TCU played in the ACC, they wouldn't go undefeated.
5 minutes. Here we go
Hey remember when we used to win bowl games? That was awesome...
and when we had Matt Ryan for 4th quarter comebacks? That was awesome too...
Steve, TCU is ridiculous and the ACC is garbage. The MWC is pretty strong: has the best bowl record year in and year out. TCU could have gone undefeated in the ACC, probably not the SEC though.
EagleBoston--That's not me--I'm waiting in the tunnel in a tear-away Eagle costume and will not streak the field until we take the lead..."But Baby, It's Cold Outside."
(Thanks,Dean Martin)
GO EAGLES!!
Well, it's been a great season guys. I'm hitting the sack. I can't believe we have lost 3 bowl games in a row. I also can't believe we have to wait 8 months before BC takes the field again.
Ugghhh
It's not good when you hear Pantale's name for the first time with only 5 minutes left in the game.
I never said the ACC was good, but it's not garbage. No way TCU could go undefeated in the ACC. It's not about who you beat in a bowl game ( alot of good teams can knock off AG top teams in any given game) it's about who you play to get there
Atta boy chase!
They finally pull out the flag for a non pass interference play. I'll take it, but I don't get it.
Flag fest. Where have these refs been all game? Nevada has been doing that ALL game.
Why is he throwing so high?
Come on, just get a TD for Pete's sake. I do like how Nevada is blitzing the young quarterback though. Do a slant.
Least the D has had time to rest.
I don't get this TO at all
This is hilarious...watch Spaz not go for it...he'll kick the FG and that will be our only score of the 4th quarter.
Holy crap. Phew.
In a side note; what a relief Freese has been this season. If Matt Ryan never had the Oringer years...
Onside kick itttttt
Totally agree about freese
Does BC even practice onside kicks? Game. Set. Match.
We left 8 points on the board.
Well, we scored our usual 13...and that note should closeout the tune for Gary Tranquilizer's tenure as the King of Inertia.
If this score stands, do you think Spaz will make himself and Tranq a trophy that says "Beat the Spread."
Stanford and OSU head and shoulders over BSU and Nevada.
It would be nice to get a blocked punt for once in the history of BC. That special teams miscue is looming large. Ugh.
Stanford head and shoulders above OSU.
Is there some magic?
If BC actually did score a TD, would you go for 2?
You know who doesn't fight hunger?
The Nevada punter
OK...now I am trippin', but we have the ball, down 7, with 3 minutes left. This is so nuts. What will Tranq do NOW?
HE THREW TO THE TIGHT END!!!!!!WOW...
Crap
Why is the clock running before Nevada snapped it?
BC should have won this f-ing game. What a waste.
Has Tranq ruined Rettig? Not impressive at all tonight
Our defense was outstanding???
No, our offense was disgusting.
disgusted. go to hell spaz. go to hell tranq. get out of my alma mater.
Someone needs to let Chris Ault that his D did not beat our offense, our OC did.
very 'offensive' coordinator
I'm having "chest pains"
I can't watch any more Spaz coached teams. I'm on strike until he is removed.
TYPICAL...the kid throws the INT and it's over. Irony.
I predict that with a new OC who has cojones and smarts, we'll be in a BCS Bowl game in the next 2 years. We have a great team in the making...and we played a good team and kinda shut 'em down, even without an offense.
So it goes...EVER TO EXCEL! GO EAGLES! WE WILL BE BACK! See ya, Eagle Nation. Hoops and Pucks--lots o' good stuff coming.
With the ridiculous amount of coshes fired/ jumping ship this season, there has to be a good OC out there for us. With all the pieces in place, our offense is basically a turnkey operation for anyone with half a brain. I mean jesus with our D all we need is someone to squeeze 3 tds/ game out of this Offense
Sorry, meant coaches. heart attack talking
