Anonymous Anger

by

Like many in my generation, I am resistant to hearing about how our phones have ruined our lives. My mother has sent me enough articles about screen time for me to know that my phone is essentially corrupting my brain.  But frankly, there’s not much I can do about it.

With less than two minutes remaining and 11 yards to go on fourth down, Boston College football had to make one last stand to all but secure a win over California. Freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele dropped back to throw and unleashed the ball downfield to Trond Grizzell.

Cal-BC preview

by

I tweeted this after Tuesday’s press conference, but Billy O was a little annoyed with the media this week. He also showed frustration and anger after the Stanford loss. Because we are all still new to following his highs and lows, I don’t know how to read his emotions or what they mean for BC Football. I am hoping that the frustration is more of the “how did we lose that game" … [Read more...] about Cal-BC preview

BC Falls to No. 3 Minnesota 7–1 in Season Opener
