We need to beat Miami because we're tired of this movie. We need to beat Miami to get this monkey off our back. We need to beat Miami to start a new tradition tomorrow of beating them routinely. We need to beat Miami because they are Miami. These guys will come in cocky because they figure we'll fold - we need to beat them because they are arrogant. We need to beat Miami because we are better than they are. We need to beat Miami for our seniors. We need to beat Miami for all of our players, past and present. We need to beat Miami for our coaches. We need to beat Miami for our students and Super Fans. We need to beat Miami for our graduates and fans and season ticket holders - contributors to the Flynn Fund. We need to beat Miami for Boston - Ever to Excel. We need to beat Miami because we can! We need to beat Miami because we are sick of them and how they dance around at our expense. We need to beat Miami without regard to any post season bowl - make this a one game season and kick their butts.<BR/><BR/>Let's knock the hell out of Miami - how dare they come to Boston thinking they have a chance to beat us. Let's show Miami absolutely NO MERCY.<BR/><BR/>This game matters to me - we WILL NOT LOSE THIS GAME. Don't even go there.<BR/><BR/>We are not looking ahead Miami - your day is coming tomorrow!Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-69227440812057336382007-11-23T10:26:00.000-05:002007-11-23T10:26:00.000-05:00We need to beat Miami.

And if we lose to Miami and then lose the 'ship (very likely if we have to play a mad Va Tech team with several BC starters not at 100%), were sitting at 9-4, which is good, but not great and my understanding is that most of you want BC to go to a higher level than what TOB did. Thus, we NEED to beat Miami.eaglebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536194020385661646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-50853077051188843022007-11-23T10:23:00.000-05:002007-11-23T10:23:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.eaglebostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536194020385661646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-64110418704327643302007-11-23T00:28:00.000-05:002007-11-23T00:28:00.000-05:00After re-reading (and re-reading and re-reading), ...After re-reading (and re-reading and re-reading), you are correct, I believe it's really the #2 ACC team that would be blocked for a BCS bid.<BR/><BR/>Win and it doesn't matter.SouthieEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975441636359980455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-11944836261810771592007-11-22T23:51:00.000-05:002007-11-22T23:51:00.000-05:00southieeagle, i thought the whole thing about the ...southieeagle, i thought the whole thing about the automatic bid to the orange bowl was that it was an "automatic" bid, hence, rank does not matter.eaglebc01https://www.blogger.com/profile/01898929009337391976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-58706527204342564892007-11-22T23:43:00.000-05:002007-11-22T23:43:00.000-05:00One point of clarification when you say "Win, grea...One point of clarification when you say "Win, great.

TOB could have beaten these guys 3 or 4 times.<BR/><BR/>It's going to be cold by Miami standards, and if we can get off to a good start, I think these guys will fold. "Don't let them back up once we've knocked them down".<BR/><BR/>A loss is out of the question - we will not lose to these guys this year.<BR/><BR/>We need a big win so we can go into the ACCCG on a high note.<BR/><BR/>A lot of these non-BC ACC fans who I know are already saying "You don't want a replay with VT - BC doesn't have much chance and VT could annihilate you" Well, I respect both VT and Virginia - but neither of those teams is going to "run over us".<BR/><BR/>I would expect a close game against both VT or Virginia.<BR/><BR/>But I digress - we need a big win over Miami; I think these Seniors know that; it's Senior Day; BC will get it done.<BR/><BR/>We will get this monkey off our back, and this will be another indication of the kind of program we can expect from Coach Jags and his staff.<BR/><BR/>Happy Thanksgiving - GO BC.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.com
