In-game comments post: Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl

I really hope this is a special night. We've got a great group of seniors playing their final game and we have a chance to end a roller coaster season with a statement win. I think we will play very well, get some national attention and head into next year with a lot of optimism.

How could it be incomplete if the ball never hit the ground? It was a simultaneous catch meaning offense keeps the ball

Galvin said...

No flag?

Galvin said...

Hey a guy can hope right?

Bravesbill said...

All you can do is laugh at this point.

mmason said...

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.

Unknown said...

Pass Interference much? And that's all she wrote

Unknown said...

Did Rod Gilmore just invent his own PI rule?

Dan said...

Oh now I get it, Tranq doesn't call passes on 1st because of fluke INTs. Thanks morons

Galvin said...

Yes he did

Missed tackles are killing us. Along with poor play calling, execution, and reffing.

Dan said...

Looks like the ump pulled a hammy, open him up.

eagleinexile said...

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.

Dan said...

Once this game is over, I am officially boycotting BC football until Tran is fired.

BCNorCal07 said...

mmason: I was referring to the post that stated the ten point lead felt like fifty.

mmason said...

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.

BCNorCal07 said...

A breath of life? Oh wait, Tranquil already swallowed it.

Galvin said...

Thank god for our defense

Unknown said...

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.

Dan said...

Someone really needs to explain to the D that turnovers are not enough, they have to score.

mmason said...

Eagles strip the ball and recover the fumble! Wow...too bad Rettig throws a ball that bounces like a grounder at ATT Park...

Galvin said...

Holy shit

Unknown said...

Wow. Now Tranq is going to run it on 3rd and 10 because of that.

Unknown said...

Sustain this drive.

Dan said...

Since theyre playin in a baseball park, maybe they shouldve let Shinskie play tonight

BCNorCal07 said...

That second-down throw was atrocious, but Rettig is having a really good game. This kid is going to be good.

Dan said...

HOLY TRICKERATION

I think all that cheering startled Tranq awake

Unknown said...

Heads up play Costanzo.

Galvin said...

Take your helmet off shinskie

BCNorCal07 said...

GO FOR IT.

mmason said...

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.

Bravesbill said...

I don't understand throwing deep on a 3rd and 5 play when you need a first down.

BCNorCal07 said...

Why am I still watching this? I have a job interview at 0630 tomorrow.

Galvin said...

I'm going to become a raging alcoholic due to bc football

Galvin said...

Good luck bcnorcal

Dan said...

I think you meant "raging alcholic"

Bravesbill said...

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.

eagleboston said...

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.

Galvin said...

Hahaha yes

Unknown said...

Well good thing Spaz isn't really a leader.

Dan said...

Think that nevada player gets a half tackle for that

Unknown said...

Thank gosh for Nevada tackling his own player, that would have been another frustrating missed tackle.

eagleboston said...

Bravesbill,

1-4 inches? What a bunch of snow wussies. We're getting 5-8 here and we don't get snow days.

Unknown said...

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?

CatabEagle said...

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.

Galvin said...

I'm hoping for an improbable TD drive then a pick6 by herzlich to seal the game

Adidaspete said...

was the golden voice the commercial for the national championship game that was on like half hour ago?

Anonymous said...

Luke again...unreal

mmason said...

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.

Dan said...

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!!

Unknown said...

BC needs to get to the line faster. We have no time to waste.

Galvin said...

Goddamn this is a big play. What's the call here?

Adidaspete said...

47 is a dirtbag

Galvin said...

Hey fuck you 47

Unknown said...

Nevada is F-ing dirty. They've been doing that stuff all night.

Dan said...

Precocious? Really?

What did he towel snap you in the locker room?

Bravesbill said...

EB,

That's what happens when you live in South Carolina. Everyone freaks out at even the threat of snow.

Unknown said...

Where is the urgency for BC? Do they teach them no huddle offense?

Maybe that streaker can play WR for us.

eagleboston said...

Mmason, is that you streaking across the field.

Unknown said...

Why aren't we going for it? We don't have the time to punt it. Ugh. Frustration at an alltime high

Dan said...

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.

Galvin said...

There's the golden voiced homeless commercial

eagleboston said...

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.

Dan said...

Time to commence Operation Make a Trail of Butterscotch from the Booth into SF Bay

mmason said...

Well, our defense proved that Half of BC's program is happening...

Unknown said...

Spaz considers it a victory if BC loses by 10 or less.

Dan said...

Fox shoulda pick6-ed that.

Unknown said...

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.

Galvin said...

5 minutes. Here we go

Dan said...

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...

Bravesbill said...

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.

mmason said...

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!!

eagleboston said...

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.

mod34b said...

Ugghhh

Bravesbill said...

It's not good when you hear Pantale's name for the first time with only 5 minutes left in the game.

Unknown said...

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

Galvin said...

Atta boy chase!

Unknown said...

They finally pull out the flag for a non pass interference play. I'll take it, but I don't get it.

Unknown said...

Flag fest. Where have these refs been all game? Nevada has been doing that ALL game.

Galvin said...

Why is he throwing so high?

Unknown said...

Come on, just get a TD for Pete's sake. I do like how Nevada is blitzing the young quarterback though. Do a slant.

Dan said...

Least the D has had time to rest.

Bravesbill said...

I don't get this TO at all

mmason said...

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.

Unknown said...

Holy crap. Phew.

CatabEagle said...

In a side note; what a relief Freese has been this season. If Matt Ryan never had the Oringer years...

Adidaspete said...

Onside kick itttttt

Galvin said...

Totally agree about freese

Unknown said...

Does BC even practice onside kicks? Game. Set. Match.

We left 8 points on the board.

mmason said...

Well, we scored our usual 13...and that note should closeout the tune for Gary Tranquilizer's tenure as the King of Inertia.

Unknown said...

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.

Unknown said...

It would be nice to get a blocked punt for once in the history of BC. That special teams miscue is looming large. Ugh.

Bravesbill said...

Stanford head and shoulders above OSU.

mod34b said...

Is there some magic?

Bravesbill said...

If BC actually did score a TD, would you go for 2?

Dan said...

You know who doesn't fight hunger?

The Nevada punter

mmason said...

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?

mmason said...

HE THREW TO THE TIGHT END!!!!!!WOW...

Galvin said...

Crap

Unknown said...

Why is the clock running before Nevada snapped it?

BC should have won this f-ing game. What a waste.

mod34b said...

Has Tranq ruined Rettig? Not impressive at all tonight

Unknown said...

Our defense was outstanding???

No, our offense was disgusting.

blockparty said...

disgusted. go to hell spaz. go to hell tranq. get out of my alma mater.

Dan said...

Someone needs to let Chris Ault that his D did not beat our offense, our OC did.

Adidaspete said...

very 'offensive' coordinator

Dan said...

I'm having "chest pains"

Bravesbill said...

I can't watch any more Spaz coached teams. I'm on strike until he is removed.

mmason said...

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.

Dan said...

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

Dan said...

Sorry, meant coaches. heart attack talking
