Respect from the coaches and other links

Most of the media has BC in the 40s. The first coaches poll showed a little more respect. BC did fall in the others receiving votes category, but still managed the fifth most of the others. That translates to 31st. Maybe the coaches realize there will be life after Ryan.


This blogger likes BC yet is only predicting seven wins.


HD considers Doug Flutie and Matt Ryan two of the most clutch players in ACC history. Should Flutie even count? He never played a down in an official ACC game. This companion article also gets into clutchness and has a quote from Jags.


I went into the SI archives to find this short piece on Paul Peterson.

Friday links

Here is a local angle on BC goaltender John Muse.


NFL.com has posted their player profiles for prospective draftees. Here is Ryan's and Cherilus'.


Doug Flutie was in Atlanta for a fundraiser and had this to say about Tom Coughlin:

Q: What coach had the most impact on you?

A: My offensive coordinator at Boston College. He was a drill sergeant, a real stickler, disciplinarian. His name is Tom Coughlin (now the Super Bowl champion New York Giants’ head coach.) I learned more football from that man. After working for Tom and learning it his way, everything else came easy.


The ACC has added another bowl to our postseason line up. Doesn't D.C. sound better than Boise?


Future BC football player Kaleb Ramsey is also a pretty good basketball player.


After watching North Carolina spank Washington State last night, my mind wandered to BC's upset in 1994. Here is the SI article on the game. While searching for this article, I came across this Leigh Montville piece on Dan Henning's arrival.

Another Matt Ryan Diary and other links

Here is the latest entry in Matt Ryan's diary for Fox.


SI recently opened up their archives, so I'll be selecting memorable articles for the links on a regular basis. Here is one on Mamula's combine. Although he played a different position, it is interesting to compare it to the scrutiny that Matt Ryan is going through now.


Two future Eagles, Reggie Jackson and Dallas Elmore, made the all-Colorado team.

Want to know the consensus on BC football heading into their first season without Flutie? Read this Sports Illustrated preview of the team written in September of 1985. BC finished 4-8.
