Rettig feature and other links

I thought this was a good feature on Chase Rettig. I would love to see the stacks of playbooks he's kept. An enterprising TV producer will get a shot of the binders and put it on during a game this year.

BCI and a Wake Forest blog are helping a food bank. Find out more here. 

Dan Koppen tore his ACL. Given his age and injury history, this might mean the end of his career. 

KPL preseason All ACC and other links

I assumed that Steele Divitto would get preseason All ACC votes simply be being at the ACC Kickoff. Instead the media awarded KPL. Congrats to him. He certainly has the tools to be great. I hope the new defensive system allows him to shine.

The basketball team will also play USC this year. That will be a nice coming home for all of our Californians. I hope the Pac 12 Network isn't an issue with this game.

The Philly media likes the Momah story. Let's hope the coaching staff does too.

Denver resigned Dan Koppen.

This isn't BC related, but Stanford is rolling out dynamic pricing for their seats. If it works for them, it will be at Alumni shortly thereafter.

Spaz talking about the season and other links

Spaz made a rare offseason media appearance and talked continuity as a key to success.

Kelli Stack was named named the 2012 Bob Allen Women's Player of the Year by USA Hockey.

Tony Barnhart has a plan for fixing the ACC.

Former Eagle Dan Koppen is ready to make an impact in the NFL again.

Another recruit, who is paying for Alumni and other links

The other day I suggested focusing on Ohio in the wake of the Jim Tressel mess. Well it didn't take long for my new strategy to start paying dividends ;). BC added to their 2012 class with a verbal commitment from Ohio Tight End Sam Grant. Grant had offers from some Big Ten schools too.

I received confirmation today that the Patriot players used Alumni for free. This sort of surprised me. I assume BC would have wanted a few bucks and would also want to set precedent. But then again if Tom Brady and crew keep doing things like visiting the Town School then it will all be worth it. BTW, Dan Koppen was the Patriot who originally reached out to BC to coordinate the practices.

Former Eagle Ron Brace's family were near the eye of the storm in Springfield.

One of the dominoes of Big Ten Hockey could be Notre Dame joining Hockey East.
