Go Eagles!

Geezer eagle said...

Do you believe in miracles?

TGS said...

First sign u see at Game Day, Get Well Soon RBG! That’s Ruth Bader Ginsberg for the uninitiated.
What a joke.

JBQ said...

Addazio has to "pull a rabbit out of a hat". Let's hope that he does. Let's also hope that AB does well. However if he doesn't that the Dazzler has the courage to bring in a backup.

Big Jack Krack said...

Desmond Howard said it best - BC needs sustained drives, time of possession, score TDs instead of FGs - keep the Clemson Offense on the sidelines as long as possible, etc.

Easier said than done, but that's a reasonable way of looking at it.

It's going to be cold - but not cold enough, so BC will have to play well for other reasons.

Go BC - we are proud of how far you have come. Embrace the night - embrace the chance and do yourselves proud!!!!

Big Jack Krack said...

Dress properly, BC fans going to the game.

I'm going to be pissed at fans leaving because of the chill - there's no excuse.

This isn't a fashion show - it's a big time, big boy football game!!!!!!

Go BC.

Geezer eagle said...

Just wish they had grass, snow and mud tonight. BC can play old fashion smash- mouth football.

bceagle91 said...

Gameday sign: "Dabo takes the B-Line". Well played.

John said...

Gameday fans are to be congratulated because the morning weather here right now and throughout really SUCKS.

bceagle93 said...

ESPN really doing a phenomenal job putting BC over on Gameday. Despite the crappy weather conditions this has been a great spot for the school. Even Herbstreit saying nice things.

It is cold, wet and raw out right now and only getting colder and more blustery as we get to game time. Should be a perfect atmosphere for an upset. Let’s go Eagles 🦅!

CT said...

Put that heat up in CU’s locker room!

Make them feel it when they’re outside.

CT said...

Should’ve guessed it was going to be Chris O’Donnell.

Kevin A said...

Nice....

Hypotheses
Determining the impact of inhospitable weather on NFL team performance considering contributing factors. Does inclement weather affect home and visiting teams equally? Are teams visiting from mild and inhospitable climates affected similarly or differently by extreme wind, cold, and heat? How do wind and temperature affect a quarterback’s ability to successfully complete passes? Do teams adjust their offensive strategy when the conditions inhibit a quarterback’s ability to pass? In these situations, do teams opt to put a larger offensive emphasis on rushing? Do cold and wind affect a team’s rushing and passing ability equally?
These questions suggest the following testable hypotheses:

Hypothesis 1: Visiting teams’ passing performance will be more vulnerable than home teams’ to freezing conditions.

Hypothesis 1A: Visiting teams are more likely than home teams to modify their offensive strategy and substitute rush attempts for pass attempts as a result of anticipated performance effects in conditions of extreme weather.

Hypothesis 2: Large and negative differences between game temperatures and average weekly temperatures will significantly inhibit visiting teams’ passing ability.

Hypothesis 2A: These large and negative temperature differences will push visiting teams to modify their offensive strategy, superseding pass attempts with rush attempts.

Hypothesis 3: Wind will affect the passing performance of teams visiting from stadiums with low average wind speeds more than teams visiting from windy stadiums.

John said...

This is the one game I worried about Baker (290) getting pancaked all night by the 350 pound nose tackle. We need to hit the line very quickly in the run department.

Anonymous said...

TGS watching through someones window complaining about some made up supreme court bullshit.

Screw off TGS.


What a bitch.

Anonymous said...

Funny the administration sent an email out saying no political signs, no advertising or .com signs and nothing negative or derogatory. They let the "sucks to BU" sign through though.

Awesome.

TGS is pissed about that one too. Sucking is offensive to him or her

Anonymous said...

Over under is 51. Seems very low. Spread is 18.5. They are saying the final score is 35-16 give or take.

It was very windy over there when I left at 1pm. Flags at the top of the stadium were flat out. Not sure that is going to keep the scoring that low though. Fair catches will be tough and fg/pat kicks at Beacon St will be interesting.

Big Jack Krack said...

GO BC - I'm heading out to the game and won't be blogging probably.

Good luck BC - get 'em down and give 'em the business!!!!!!

bceagle91 said...

Knucklehead, for BC, fg/pat kicks are interesting in good weather. We might see more decisions to go for it on 4th down.

John said...

This is BJK - I am on the Comm Ave garage roof at a tailgate.

It's pretty cold and the wind is gusting real good.

Oh boy!

Knucklehead said...

91,

Yeah exactly.

Clemson going for it on 4th down would not be good for us either. They haven't missed a kick all season. So they wont hesitate to kick as much as we might.

Knucklehead said...

I am looking for a double reverse with Smith getting the first reverse, dropping it to Levy for a chuck back to Smith.

Levy is sharp look for the dump off to Sweeney or AB of Smith is not open.

Those are the names I would but it might be another crew.

Glines already had one earlier in the season so Clemson will be looking for it from him.

Knucklehead said...

. . . Shit I come up with waiting for another beer.


Knucklehead said...

Another play BC never uses because AB cannot run and throw accurately is the traditional screen play. Might be effective against a good defensive line.


Since AB sucks, I would run it out of the wildcat with Smith at QB faking he is keeping it and chucking back to the opposite side of the field on a wheel route. Hybrid Matt Ryan throwback against VT and the Tebow jump-pass.

Knucklehead said...

Late line change down to +17.5

Geezer eagle said...

My brothers at the game, keep us posted and updated.

John said...

In my seat - wind behind me on BC side, but swirling at times.

John said...

Not bothering the QBs in practice. Chill won't bother anyone to start I'M HOME.

John said...

I.M.H.O. I hate autocorrect.

John said...

Many Clemson fans and a small band contingent - just as loud as ours.

John said...

It should be a pretty full stadium at kickoff.

My phone does not have much charge.

John said...

Clemson fans have bought tickets all over the stadium.

BC passed out white flags and I think they are wearing throwback uniforms.

John said...

Lawrence is as good as anyone we have seen here + back to John Elway and (did) Roger Stauback (play here?)

John said...

Pre game (flashing) light show now.

Geezer eagle said...

Will bc finally graduate from bridesmaid to bride? We shall see

John said...

Not cold enough. 🙂

John said...

BS timeout.

John said...

Uh oh.

bceagle93 said...

Well AB naysayers, get ready for Perry....

CT said...

Game over?

bceagle93 said...

I like up tempo but damn we have to come up with some better 1st & 2nd down plays...we will not win facing 3rd and long all night....

Geezer eagle said...

CT, don't be a defeatist asshole

John said...

Mark Herzlich leading the cheers.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

Whether Perry or Brown the play calling has to be much more imaginative against a physically superior opponent or they will get blown out

bceagle93 said...

Zach Allen came to play.

bceagle93 said...

SPECIAL TEAMS!

ObserverCollege said...

ACC officials are forgetting what benefits the conference. Hint: It's not a BC victory. Should have called a phantom block in the back on the Walker return.

Tim said...

SkyWalker!!!!

John said...

Mark Herzlich ringing the bell!

WALKER!

Two drunk Clemson kids in fgront of me. I'm going to wear them out. 🙂

JBQ said...

It's the reservoir. The wind whips across the campus with lots of moisture. I saw Mike Walker on the sideline after the td. He had the towel around his neck and no bravado just like he did it in practice. Well done.

CT said...

Dillon is so hurt. He should’ve gotten that first down.

Geezer eagle said...

This is ominous

CT said...

On the second down run. I remember when he used to run people over. Now...he avoids contact.

John said...

Who is the QB? Perry? I couldn't tell and no program.

Ramman said...

Walker looks amped! 🦅

BC fan since the 1960s said...

They should let the defensive coordinator call the plays on offense

John said...

Agree about Dillon. Itried to tell everyone his injury at Temple game was serious.

Ramman said...

They had a few solid backs. Why not spot them in?

bceagle93 said...

Totally. We have to get some play action going here with Perry. Quick slants & dumps to Sweeney.

TGS said...

Daz heading into his shell now. Hopefully dickhead (knead) will join him.

Ramman said...

Yes. Perry’s in at qb

Geezer eagle said...

We have several excellent rbs. Why not use them? Oh, I forgot. Dazoshit is the head coach.

TGS said...

Two guys just got engaged in that add. How sweet. One was Khead.

Geezer eagle said...

I love the female proposing to her wussy, balless bf

bceagle93 said...

Despite our corners being outmatched, I think this may be the strongest our D has looked all season. Good game plan — 2 big stops in red zone.

TGS said...

Third and 12, run the QB. Daz now Playing to lose relatively close.

CT said...

Perry’s best attribute is probably his girlfriend.

Ramman said...

I agree. With Dillon & Allen out our D must play well. Zack Allen certainly is not outmatched!

CT said...

Cheevers is realizing that Sundays are harder than Saturdays.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

But the defense has been on the field way too much and that will catch up with them soon. They haven’t let Perry throw one pass.

bceagle93 said...

3rd and 12 and RPO keeper???? Are we now afraid to have Perry throw downfield? That is the conservative BS call that cannot happen.

John said...

This game will get ugly if Perry can't get us going.

What a baptism.

Ramman said...

PERRY will get better the more he plays

Tim said...

Where is Levy? He was a beast last week.

Ramman said...

Yea

mod34b said...

Perry! A gamer

bceagle93 said...

Finally, some 1st down play action.

Ramman said...

Oh no

bceagle93 said...

WTF

mod34b said...

Perry a little nervous.

He will snap out it

Knucklehead said...

TGS pleasures himself to me.

TGS said...

What a break. Clearly a penalty

mod34b said...
This comment has been removed by the author.
bceagle93 said...

Honestly, not sure how they don’t call that for illegal contact. We got a huge break.

TGS said...

Knead is a sophomore at BC High. Very excited mommy let him go to espn game day. Hopes to one day get accepted into Roxbury CC, then transfer to UMass Boston.

rgmarine said...

Feel like I’m watching commercials filled football breaks

Knucklehead said...

You still pleasure yourself to me. You are clearly on round two. I do have that effect on people.

CT said...

No.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

Offensive line is so overmatched which is why the plain vanilla play calling makes no sense

Geezer eagle said...

Pray Clemson doesn't score before the half.

Bravesbill said...

Turn Perry loose. BC is never scoring if Daz continues to call this crap.

rgmarine said...

Dillion just does not look explosive

Knucklehead said...

TGS spends his Saturday nights thinking about homosexual TV ads and BC High. Fact.

John said...

18 seconds

John said...

1 second - hold em.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

Most one sided six point game at the half I have ever seen

BC08 said...

Can you ass clowns maybe stop filling this comment stream with childish back and forth insults? I mean, get a life. We're trying to watch and talk about football.

Knucklehead said...

Ahh, 45 minutes in the beer line. Here we go.

Good half.

Half time stats

ReiDaDor said...

If anyone said prior to the game the score would be 13-7 at half with BC getting the ball to start 2nd half we would have said hell yeah!! We are in this!!! Let’s go BC!!!

Tim said...

Ditto

Tim said...

Yes

bceagle93 said...

Disappointing offensive output, but we’ll take being down 6 to #2 team in country at half with possession to start 2nd half. D stepped up big time.

This is where great coaching wins games Daz. How are you going to adjust? Everyone is watching...

Tim said...

This is Clemson’s closest game at the half since they played Syracuse

Bravesbill said...

Expect more dives up the middle next half. Daz doesn’t want to win, just keep it close.

bceagle93 said...

Yes but don’t dismiss how big D has been. Clemson has a lot of weapons on offense and much more talented than we are at skill positions. Were up 24 on NCST and 28 on Wake at half. If we can keep pressure on Sunshine and get some O going we can make this interesting.

John said...

Big fireworks at half time.

The difference in this game is 2 or 3 long Clemson completions and the penalty on Walkers second run back.

I have a funny feeling that we may get some offense going in the second half. We're due, even with Perry playing in his first big game.

John said...

I wish the temp would drop 10 to 15 degrees, Go BC.

Ramman said...

Good d. If Perry’s going rest of game they better break out the Flutie era playbook. He’s a scrambler.

John said...

The dives up the middle on the1950 belly series is pissing everyone off around me. Except the Clemson fans, of course.

mod34b said...

Perry is a gamer. He’s going to go for it!!

Kevin A said...

Perry will deliver.

Kevin A said...

...in the 2nd half

Ramman said...

We are more than still in it!
Go Eagles!🦅

mod34b said...

KH lives for this. Enjoys being the AH. Can’t help himself. Particularly gross today sharing his foul fantasies.

bceagle93 said...

I would like to see Perry throw downfield at least once on first drive of 2nd half. Preferably on 1st or 2nd down. Let’s show them we want to win, not just hang around.

Ramman said...

My old class of 66 buddy and his wife needed to leave the game and after 10 minutes of the first quarter because it was so cold and windy. And he is a Needham boy!

Kevin A said...

Need well scripted drive by Loeffler to start the 2nd. If we score first in the 2nd, Clemson rattled, BC wins.

Let’s go!!!!

bceagle93 said...

Nice adjustments Daz......😳

John said...

What a disappointment.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

Play calling on first series in second half - mind boggling

John said...

Addazio strikes again.

Bravesbill said...

Nice first drive Daz.

bceagle93 said...

Come out of the locker room weak, what do you expect??

BC fan since the 1960s said...

The dam is about to burst

bceagle93 said...

Coaching.

Bravesbill said...

Fuck off Daz you worthless piece of crap.

Geezer eagle said...

And the massacre begins.

John said...

Bravesbill is right. And 60's - it's mind boggling. Biggest game in years and we run right at the bestDL in the country on the 1950 era Belly Series with an injured RB

You can't make this shit up.

Flexman said...

Believe this is going to get ugly now.

John said...

Was that acatch? Why couldn't it be reviewed?
Observer College is right.

BC fan since the 1960s said...

Anyone agree that a no huddle hurry up offense when you are overmatched, your backup QB is in, and your defense has already been on the field for most of the game makes no sense?

Geezer eagle said...

Why didn't dazoDazo challenge that. ? Can his coaching get any worse?

Bravesbill said...

I take it BC doesn’t have replay guys?!

Unknown said...

Honestly why even put Perry in if you don’t trust him to pass? Just snap directly to the qb and put in an extra blocker.

mod34b said...

Daz has his excuse (QB out) and can claim we “tied” first half. Now he is done

No will to win.

John said...

Coaching difference is very obvious.

CvegasEagle said...

I always thought McDonald was better

Ramman said...

Great play Luke

John said...

Come on players - do it for yourselves.

bceagle93 said...

Daz, YOU are the one that needs to be a dude. YOU are the one that should #DecideToFly.

You had us. But it’s clear that all of that is just BS sales talk if you don’t do it yourself.

C’mon.....Daz....

Ramman said...

Dabo calls look pretty shitty too

Ramman said...

The real difference is that talent pool. Clempson has plenty of five star recruits. They may not be able to read but they sure can play

Tim said...

Why do we ALWAYS throw short of the sticks on 3rd / 4th down???

BC fan since the 1960s said...

Third and nine, down 13 points, and you run it up the middle

Ramman said...

But BC needs to get some offense going

Geezer eagle said...

Once again, they throw short of the first down marker. Way to improvise, Dazoshit

John said...

We can still win if we hold them. There big boys are getting tired. Play slower and get some first downs.

CvegasEagle said...

Has Kobay regressed??? Thought that guy was going to be the future. Or maybe we don’t use him right.

CT said...

No hurt tonight. I just hope we cover.

bceagle93 said...

Daz is that you? In order for us to challenge for an ACC Championship we need a coach that can develop & adjust game plans that allows 3 star recruits to play like 5 star recruits. Otherwise why do we play?

CT said...

OC is not good tonight.

Geezer eagle said...

Dillon just doesn't have it anymore. If we must run why not use the other rbs????

Ramman said...

Let’s not forget we’re playing Clemson. They’re good

mod34b said...

Another “tie” for 3Q fir Daz.

mod34b said...

Perry has thrown a few nice passes.

More!

JBQ said...

Perry is relaxing and does look very good. He just didn't have a lot of experience. Sadly, that should have been part of the equation. You have to have a contingency for a first string injury. This was not done. Big credit to the defense.

Bravesbill said...

Perry is probably a better passer than AB but is just handcuffed.

bceagle93 said...

Yes and they are the more talented team and should probably win this game. But you still play to win. Our defense is certainly playing that way tonite. That means more creative play calling by the coaches and taking chances on offense to give them a chance.

mod34b said...

Had BC thrown a simple short slant across middle?

Geezer eagle said...

I agree. Superior talent is prevailing. Couple that with dazoshits poor field generalship and the odds are horrific for BC

mod34b said...

There it wac

mod34b said...

Another short ball. Nuts

CT said...

Zero imagination

Bravesbill said...

Another fucking pass short of the sticks.

mod34b said...

Uggghhh

Geezer eagle said...

Turn out the lights the party is over.

Bravesbill said...

Fucking gutless Daz. You deserve that punt return. Go fire yourself you clown.

Ramman said...

Of course you need to fight to win. I want to win. But Clemson wants to win too. And they have the better team

mod34b said...

Fuck Herbstreit. (Because)

CT said...

Yeah. Needed a mistake free game.

Hopefully we won’t have to wait 10 years between Gamedays.

John said...

Our players never had a chance to win WTH these absolute shit calls.

Our Offensive coaching staff should be ashamed of themselves. I am ashamed of them for sure. Lot of people leaving too bad.

Nice game plan, Addazio.

Our players deserved better.

Another pass short of the mark on third down - YOU STIFF.

bceagle93 said...

That’s where having a great coach makes a difference. They figure out how to win against better teams with the talent they have.

Ramman said...

Way to go! Let’s open it up. Nothing to lose

Geezer eagle said...

Clemson is the Huns of the ACC .They are wiping-out every opponent. Probably the only team that can beat Alabama.
And I'm going to bed. Bye.

Ramman said...

Well that’s not on Daz

bceagle93 said...

Punting at midfield down by 20....head home everyone....

Tim said...

Why is Dillon still in this game?

Ramman said...

Night Georgia!

2009alum said...

Too bad that this offense is so damn bad with Dazz leading it. Knew it would happen but figured at least something better than what we are seeing.

CT said...

Perry is overwhelmed. Not a big deal. Lost to a team that will finish third. Not a biggie.

Lawrence is two yrs away from being really good.

Too bad Daz is married to AB. Oh well.

Ramman said...

Well Daz could lead us to 9-3 regular season (Syracuse assumed a W - risky). Probably extension. And who can really argue against it!

bceagle93 said...

Going to need this D to show up against Cuse.

mod34b said...

A new Daz apologist? Boo

bceagle93 said...

Daz is that you? Sure Clemson is a legit beast. But you could have beaten Purdue and NCST with this team. You are the highest paid employee at the University.

But of course #EverToDoJustEnoughToKeepYourJob right?

Ramman said...

There aren’t too many undefeated coaches out there. It’s quite a few great coaches. I’m not saying adagio is one of them. But he has lead us to a pretty good season

Ramman said...

NCSTATE - Brown went down, Dillon too Pery came in. Not good enough. With starters we would have won PURDUE - WTF. We should have won. Didn’t. That was coaching!

Ramman said...

Just being a realist. With the record he has his bosses will not fire him

CT said...

Good effort. Just playing a top 5 program. Brown had little chance. Perry zero. Just move on.

Tim said...

The BC commercial was the best thing i’ve Seen tonight

bceagle93 said...

Great salesman. Great evaluator of talent, especially given admissions constraints. Not a good game manager. That will not change.

bceagle93 said...

Played their hearts out against a better opponent. Clemson is legit. Let’s get after FSU & Cuse.

Ramman said...

Proud of them. Hope Brown comes back. Otherwise FSU becomes tough and Syracuse a loss. Go Eagles! 🦅🦅

mod34b said...

So you’re saying the Daz Special - 7-6 - is still possible?

Bravesbill said...

It would be very Daz-esque to pull another Daz special this year.

Napolean Bonaparte said...

Considering how long they were on the field - D played a very good game. They would have been even better if we could have generated any kind of offense. Our offensive line just got rolled over. There were other issues - but their defensive front just overwhelmed our guys all night - bigger, faster and stronger. We are not in a position to seriously compete against this level of team until we get a much better OL. Very impressed with Clemson's QB - extremely deceptive with the ball.

Big Jack Krack said...

Bravesbill was right - even with Brown, Addazio never played to win. Game plan on the offensive side was offensive.

And playing Dillon on one leg is coaching malpractice.

Other than that - proud of the team and effort and Clemson controlled the line all night.

But I think they can't match Alabama - but #2 ain't bad.

Go BC - find a way to win the last two.

Jrb123 said...

AJ dillon should take next week off. His ankle is clearly still bothering him. It is not helping the team. He is not hitting the hole hard, cannot cut and is not breaking any tackles.
