I know plenty of you don't know or care about professional wrestling. That doesn't matter. What you need to know is that at the biggest wrestling event of the year -- Wrestlemania -- a BC guy -- Kofi Kingston -- won the WWE Championship.

Pro wrestling is not a real sport, but becoming champion is about hard work, charisma, athleticism, and getting people to believe in you. Kofi put in many years and represents himself, Boston College and the WWE with passion, integrity and humor. Congrats to him on reaching his goal. Ever to excel.

Holloway ready to step up and other links

HD featured Max Holloway in her blog today. This is actually a good sign as the program wouldn't put him in front of her if they weren't expecting big things. In the article it mentions his declining playing time last year. No one every really explained that decision. It was curious to say the least since our starters were hardly dominating and Holloway could have used the snaps. Max has the talent. Maybe this is the year it all comes together.

Finally, Dr Saturday gets around to BC and says "why not?" Don't worry though, his hedging doesn't mean that the national sentiment on BC has changed. Most still expect us to finish third in the division.

Rivals ranked us at 35 and presented a decent preview of the team.

Pennsylvania OL prospect JJ Denman has good things to say about BC.

Florida DB Torrey Campbell is set to visit BC in two weeks.

I am not sure what their connection is/was, but you have to applaud Montel and Wes Davis for helping out at a youth football camp in Peabody.

After a rough half season in the Braves' minor league system, Ryne Reynoso is now with the Red Sox organization.

Kofi Kingston is doing the media rounds with his upcoming Money in the Bank match.

Flutie still a fan and other links

ESPNBoston posted a Q&A with Doug Flutie on his latest news. He mentions Billy and BC sports throughout. Since this is Billy's last year, I fear we might not see Doug as much in the coming years.

Andy Katz thinks Reggie could skip his senior season and enter the NBA draft in 2011.

BC grad Kofi Sarkodie-Mensah aka Kofi Kingston will be wrestling at the DCU when WWE hits New England.

Most of you probably read this but it looks like the Hockey team's T crash may have been the fault of the T Driver.

A different sort of Notre Dame preview and other links

EDSBS is posting season previews from various bloggers using a different sort of template. Here is their look at Notre Dame.

Virginia Tech lost one of its leading receivers.

Steve Logan is considered one of the better offensive minds in college football.

More on Josh Beekman's patience as he works his way up with the Bears.

People are still debating the winners and losers of the ACC expansion.

BC is already looking at a top QB for the 2010 recruiting class.

Am I the last guy to know that one of the WWE's rising superstars is a BC grad? I believe the McMahon kids went to BU. Glad to see they are not letting those ties hold back our Kofi.
