Frank Chamberlin 1978-2013

Former Boston College Linebacker Frank Chamberlin lost his battle with cancer Sunday morning. Chamberlin played fullback and eventually linebacker at BC in the 1990s. He was later drafted by Tennessee Titans and played five years in the NFL.

Chamberlin was a key player on the early TOB teams that reestablished the winning culture at BC. In fact Chamberlin's outstanding performance against Syracuse sealed our sixth win in 1999, making BC bowl eligible for the first time under TOB.

I don't know what BC will do to honor Chamberlin, but might I suggest a patch worn during this year's Syracuse game. We are returning to the setting of Frank's greatest moment and we have another 44 leading us to a Bowl game.

During his illness Chamberlin's family set up a donor site to help with the costs of his experimental cancer treatments. I don't know what will come of those donations now, but pay attention to the site as I am sure there will be something established to honor him or help his wife and three daughters.

Help former Eagle Frank Chamberlin fight with cancer

Some of you may remember earlier this year when I wrote about former BC Linebacker Frank Chamberlin's battle with brain cancer. Part of the tumor was removed but the next stage in his fight involves Immunotherapy. Unfortunately the type of treatment Frank needs is performed in Germany and not covered by insurance. His friends and former teammates are trying to raise money for the family so Frank can travel and have the surgery.
