Everyone’s excited about BC. We are ranked for the first time in six years. O’Brien is getting a ton of positive press. The SuperFan shirts are back. But nothing is ever easy or simple. BC is on the road to take on the best Mizzou team in years and heavy underdogs. Yet there is nothing to lose. A month ago, this game seemed like certain doom. Now we have hope.
What’s on my mind (not totally related to this game)
In college sports — where there are so many teams — you tend to lose perspective on how other programs are doing and their fans feel about their program. Take Pitt for example. They just fired their AD. I was sort of surprised because despite having a down football year last season, things have generally been successful and competitive in Football and Basketball for the Panthers the last few years. But it speaks to how fans frustration can build up over time and how the big donors don’t always want to hear from the same voice year after year.
— BC is 18-24-1 vs SEC schools
BC Football has only played in the state of Missouri once. 1926 vs St. Louis University in St. Louis.
This is going to take a perfect game, but I have faith. I think it will feel a lot like FSU. We will grind it out, keep mistake to a minimum and get a few key turnovers.
