BC Set To Open 2010 Season Against ...

... Weber State?
Like I said, I don't fault the Athletics Department for going the I-AA route, but could we have found a I-AA school a little closer than Utah? (Yes, Weber State is located in Utah. And yes, I had to look this up. I'm just not up on my Big Sky geography like I used to be.) Weber State reportedly reached out to the Athletics Department and was happy scheduling the one-off game.
The Weber State Wildcats are an FCS team from the Big Sky Conference. This past season, the Wildcats went 7-5 and lost to William & Mary 38-0 in the FCS playoffs. Weber State played Division I-A opponents Wyoming and Colorado State this year, losing both in close games.
The 2010 non-conference schedule appears to be finalized now. BC gets Weber State (Sept. 4), Kent State (Sept. 11) and Notre Dame (Oct. 2) at home, and travels to Syracuse on Thanksgiving weekend (likely Nov. 27). The Eagles' ACC schedule includes Virginia Tech, Clemson, Maryland and Virginia at home, and Wake Forest, Florida State, NC State and Duke on the road.
It appears that Jeff's dream of a Boston College-UConn football game will have to wait at least another decade or so.

That is really odd
Usually FCS teams are within a short plane ride. Why would either school do it? Weber is using up a lot of cash to fly to Boston.
BC was in a tough spot, but ...
I find it hard to believe there weren’t better options out there. So much for making a splash on opening day weekend/Herzlich’s return.

Easy win >>>> big time opponent
BC is going to be pretty darn good next season. I like the weak non-conference schedule. It could have us looking at a VERY good record next year (Golden Tate and Emu leaving early won’t hurt, either).
VT will be good next year, but other than that I really like our chances in just about every other game.
I don't like the easy win.
There are plenty of those already on the schedule next season … Kent State, at Syracuse, Notre Dame (coaching change, no defense), Virginia (coaching change), Maryland, at Duke.
Especially with this being opening day, I would have much rather opened with a quality opponent. Especially with Herzlich coming back. Now we’ll be lucky to get 30,000 in the stands and get on ESPN 360.com.
next yr
BC should go 10-2 next year and win the Atlantic division and have a ligit chance to win the ACC.They will need some WR’s to step up!
2010?
Wins: Weber State, Kent State, at Syracuse, Notre Dame, Virginia, Maryland, at Wake, at NC State, at Duke
Losses: Virginia Tech
Toss-up: Clemson, at FSU
