I’ve spent the majority of my college life preoccupied with food, and I would argue that is a common trait among Boston College students. Food is at the center of some of our most treasured BC memories—going to White Mountain during orientation, getting Crazy Dough after a night out, and enjoying tailgate feasts.  Unfortunately, food can also be at the center of our most … [Read more...] about The Highland View: The Ends and The Means

Boston College lacrosse took center stage on Newton Campus in its fall ball matchups between Connecticut and Brown on Sunday afternoon.  Taking their first game 16–6 against the Huskies, the Eagles sailed past UConn in typical BC-lacrosse fashion.  Just two minutes into the matchup, the Eagles had already notched two goals on the afternoon.

Boston College men’s hockey has not had the same set of lines once yet this season.  But BC head coach Greg Brown is no stranger to this strategy. And when a team scores five goals, it’s hard to complain about the approach its coach took. “I feel like every line is gelling,” Brown said. “It’s always that way at the beginning of the year, where guys are figuring each other out, … [Read more...] about No. 9 BC Scores Four in Second Period, Wins 5–1 Over RPI

Must win games against UConn: so much fun! I’ve been balancing the apologist/critic tight rope on twitter for weeks now. Let me clarify it a bit more here. I have faith in O’Brien and think he will get us to Addazio-level of success or better, yet don’t think things have gone well this year.
