I hope our players have reflected properly on what it takes to win on the road.<br /><br />I'd like to think we'll win by 10 -14 points, at least, but I'm much more cautious than that.<br /><br />Let's not forget that Virginia absolutely destroyed Indiana 47-7 - worse than Ohio State did - so the Cavaliers have potential for sure. Indiana is not that good, we say?, but they've come close against Wisconsin and Northwestern, etc.<br /><br />With all of the bad rain storms going through, Saturday won't be half bad in Charlottesville - More clouds than sun. Highs in the mid 60s and lows in the mid 40s.<br /><br />Go BC!Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-71301598182452663572009-11-11T18:53:39.623-05:002009-11-11T18:53:39.623-05:00right on ~Paul.

Wake probably wants the rule to protect itself from Clemson, and Miami to protect itself from FSU (in a different year than this year!); Virginia to protect agaisnt Va Tech (ditto) etc. <br /><br />But you just know that 11 schools south of the Mason Dixon line did not vote for a rule to help the lone "Yankee"!! They each from time to time benefit from the rule to.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-63918670725961725242009-11-11T17:23:27.568-05:002009-11-11T17:23:27.568-05:00I missed out on the "BC Rule" discussion...I missed out on the "BC Rule" discussion yesterday, so I'm going to post my question here.<br /><br />Is the "BC Rule" known as such because BC is the only school regularly in a position to take advantage of it? There are other ACC schools that don't travel well (Wake, Miami, Duke come to mind). But Wake happened to win the whole bowl of oranges in 2006, so they didn't need the rule. Miami has sucked in the recent past and Duke doesn't even know what a bowl is. Thus, BC is the only team that consistently (always) finishes between #2-5 in the conference and therefore is always in a position to take advantage of the rule.<br /><br />Is this an accurate statement?<br /><br />If so, then this whole “we are pathetic because they had to make a rule for us” complex is way off. It’s just that the team out-performs our travel reputation. Wake, Miami, Duke, and Virginia need the rule too; they just haven’t performed as consistently above-average as BC has recently.almost_paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16266075433120546055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-90563104699689309812009-11-11T14:40:48.371-05:002009-11-11T14:40:48.371-05:00we suck away from home.

How could Groh possibly keep his job (and who will hire him next)?<br /><br />Action seems to be going towards UVA based on the line movement, does the gambling community know something we don't?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375335026023485797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-57169635444252255182009-11-11T13:09:54.811-05:002009-11-11T13:09:54.811-05:00BC 38 UVA 14BC 38 UVA 14mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-19539301008105775642009-11-11T12:11:52.527-05:002009-11-11T12:11:52.527-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679782331520517052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-50627096689929208812009-11-11T11:50:53.113-05:002009-11-11T11:50:53.113-05:00Good 'ol blogger:
