The ACC announced a 5:30 PM kickoff for the Florida State-BC game. I can't remember a 5:30 start for any BC sporting event, but I am not against it. With this start we get the benefit of prime time without the late ending. Getting national coverage is largely based on Florida State, but as I've been promoting on Twitter, even in bad times, BC is still a good TV draw.
Alex Amidon's breakout season is getting noticed. He's was named the ACC's receiver of the week.
Hockey begins the season atop USCHO.com's preseason poll.
The Patriots resigned Matt Tennant. Hopefully he will get a chance to break into the starting lineup.
Charlie Rugg's three goals over the weekend earned him TopDrawerSoccer.com Player of the Week honors.
BC kept our slot at the bottom of the CBS Power Rankings.
BC hosted some potential recruits this past weekend.

Women keep rolling and other links
The women's basketball team must really like Greensboro. How else can you explain their sudden surge. They beat Florida State Friday night and now advanced to Saturday's semis.
The hockey teams' Friday night wasn't as fun. Up 3-0, the guys let UNH back into the game and tie it 3-3. With the tie, UNH clinched the Hockey East regular season title.
Baseball is still in Florida and beat Florida Atlantic 5-2 on Friday.

Muse, Gerbe lead BC to another Hockey East title
John Muse prevented any BC hangovers from Friday's triple overtime marathon by shutting down UVM in the first period. His fellow Eagles matched his strong strong play (an eventual shutout) in the second period and then held on for a 4-0 win. It is BC's third Hockey East title in the last four years. Congrats to Jerry York on another trophy and for getting the team to peak at just the right time.
BC has now won the Beanpot and the Hockey East titles. They last time that happened was 2001. Not to jinx us, but in 2001 we also added a pretty big third trophy before the year was over.

BC back in the Hockey East finals
Benn Ferriero ended a long, long game with a goal in the third OT. BC beat UNH to advance to the Hockey East final Saturday night.
BC is promoting Nathan Gerbe for the Hobey Baker award. A BC blogger was already on the case earlier this winter.

Pics from BC-PC Game 2
Chris S. did a great job capturing the action from the second game of the Hockey East playoffs.
Most exciting play in hockey!
BC won again and will face UNH a to be determined foe next in the Hockey East semis. Chris S. got this shot of Gerbe's penalty shot. Go BC! Get on the hockey bandwagon now.

Thanks to Chris S. for sending along these shot. Dissapointing turnout but overlapping with the basketball game didn't help.

Beanpot back where it belongs
The final 10 minutes of the third period were a disaster. Yet the crisis was averted. BC dominated OT and won the Beanpot with a goal by Nick Petrecki. Congrats to the seniors who add another accomplishment to their resumes. Next up -- the Hockey East championship!

BC back to the Beanpot final
Last night's game was a reminder how great overtime hockey can be. The kids came out in the extra time and were flying around leading to Gerbe's game winner. The win keeps gets BC back on track and keeps BU out of the final for the first time in 13 years. Nice. For those who don't have access to NESN, perhaps you should work with your local alumni club to have a game watch. The BC Club of Atlanta had one here.
Now let's hope the guys close it out next week.

Beanpot Guest Blogger: Mook Williams
Mook Williams, one of my former WZBC broadcast partners, is back as a guest blogger to catch up us on BC hockey. Tonight is the Beanpot and the chance for this young BC team to make its mark. Below are my questions and Mook's answers to the matchup with BU and what lies ahead.
1. Much was made of the early season dismissals from the team. Based on the BC’s recent upturn, it doesn’t really seem to be an issue. What is your take?
Mook Williams: Although lately it doesn't seem like the early season dismissals haven't had an effect lately, I think that they are going to start to become a factor as the season progresses through February and March, combined of course with Brock Bradford's hard luck injuries. O'Hanley? Nah, not a star by any means, and really isn't a consistent starter on a championship hockey team. However, he adds some depth to the bench and allows you to spell guys at both forward and defense, as he could play both. Alright, minor loss. However, I believe that Motherwell was a pretty big loss because it left the Eagles without a developing defenseman who was getting better year after year, and who was a guy who played a decent point on the power play. The loss of Motherwell TRULY exposes the lack of depth on the BC blue line - unfortunately, the Eagles may wear thin back there as the season progresses, especially against good teams (heck, they only have 1 win versus top 10 teams as it is right now).
2. BC dominated BU earlier in the year and then struggled in a tie this month. What was the difference in the three meetings?
Mook Williams: The difference was pure emotion. BC came into the first meeting on a downslide after playing through a few consecutive rough games, and decided to stop the slide at Agganis and take it to a stunned Terrier squad. The REVERSE happened in the second meeting - BC was playing well and BU was (and still is, really) in a rough spell. Perhaps fired up by the rivalry, what happened in the last game, and the packed crowd at Conte, BU came out and dominated the sluggish Eagles. BC was lucky to draw a tie in that game, and John Muse deserves all the credit for that. The Terriers were all over the ice, playing with their hearts on their sleeves, and truly showed you that on any given night in NCAA hockey any team can win (I think we've seen this maxim proven true time and time again during the last couple of college hockey seasons). I expect BOTH teams to be fired up for the Beanpot, and a great game on Monday night.
3. What is your prediction for Monday’s game?
Mook Williams: Come on, it's the Beanpot!!! Gotta pick BU in OT, 4-3. BC with the huge shot advantage, of course.
4. The Beanpot has been a bump in the road the past few seasons. Do you expect this year to be any different? Can this team make another run at the Frozen Four?
Mook Williams: I think there's a chance that this year could be very different in the 'Pot because of BC's relative youth, BU's awful team, HU's subpar team, and NU's regenerized (but recently slumping) team. I could see NU easily winning this tournament, and I could also see BC overcoming BU this time around and squeeking out a win in the title game.
As far as the national title race is concerned . . . if Brock Bradford was healthy, I wouldn't have any doubt that they would be in Denver. However, without him, it's going to be very tight and close. I'd lean towards them not making the Frozen Four, due to their inconistent defensive hockey. John Muse has been a pleasant surprise, but who knows how he will play in the postseason?? Will he step it up his freshman year, a la Scott Clemmensen (prior to, ahemm, Josh Langfeld's shot), or will he bomb in his freshman year (See Cory Schneider). I love the offensive hockey, the overall flow, and the skating, it's just that the blue line has been really suspect (even the top guys, like Brennan, haven't been great), and the postseason goaltending is a question that won't be answered until March. Hey, it's there for the taking for BC . . . other than Michigan, I'm not overly impressed with any other national team. If BC can win the Hockey East tournament, and right now that is a big IF because the tourney is going to be a deep one, that will be an indication as to whether they can get to another Frozen Four. Tune in!

Good take on Cherilus' draft prospects and other links
This is a pretty fair evaluation of Gosder Cherilus. Given how inconsistent he was this past season I still think he'll slip into the second round. But what do I know?
Saturday night the hockey team pulled off a tie in a game BU dominated. Any moral victory was ruined with the news that Brock Bradford broke his arm for the second time this season and is done for the year.
The women's basketball team keeps improving after last year's rough season. Sunday they beat Wake Forest to improve their ACC record to 3-2.
