Final 2011 ACC power rankings (ESPN ACC Blog)
10. Boston College (4-8, 3-5) – The Eagles regrouped at the end of the season and won three of their final five, despite an abysmal 2-7 start to the season. Coach Frank Spaziani was given another chance to turn things around, and a 24-17 win at Miami in the season finale was the first step.

9. Boston College: The Eagles’ strong finish to 2011 left a lot of optimism within the program, and despite the loss of linebacker Luke Kuechly, the defense should still be strong. The return of running back Montel Harris will certainly help, but again the team must adjust to another offensive coordinator.
Long road leads to Oklahoma Sooners offer for Akeel Lynch (ESPN)
There is the road less traveled, and then there is the road three-star running back Akeel Lynch (Athol Springs, N.Y./St. Francis) has taken to put himself in position to play college football. Lynch, a Boston College verbal commit since the summer, is taking an official visit to Oklahoma this weekend, and it's possible that Norman, Okla., will be the end of his long journey.
Anderson planning BC visit (Rivals.com)
Boston College and Maryland have offered the Frederick (Md.) Thomas Johnson all-purpose back and he said Penn State, East Carolina, Duke, Oregon, Marshall and others are showing interest. His dad played for the Nittany Lions so Anderson has always kept a close eye on that program.
Is Boston College ILB Luke Kuechly an elite NFL prospect? (National Football Post)
Impression: He’s not the biggest, strongest or fastest of athletes. But he’s instinctive, plays faster than he times, finds the football in all areas of the game and can really tackle. He’s going to be a bit limited in coverage, but he’s instinctive enough to play on third down in zone and should end up being one of the NFL’s top tackling linebackers for years to come.

ACC B-Ball Midweek Picks – 1/10-12 (ACC Blogger)
Clemson 60 Boston College 58 (Chestnut Hill) – The Tigers romped over BC 77-69 (Clemson, not as close as score) and 70-47 (ACC Tourney) last season – two very different teams take the court on Conte Forum with fresh faces to ACC play across the board, Boston College coming off a 23-point loss and Clemson a 20-point win from the weekend. The Tigers really played well Saturday against FSU behind a strong effort from big men Milton Jennings and Catalin "Bobo" Baciu, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they struggle on Thursday.

Restuccia Achieves 100 Career Point Milestone as No. 4 WIH Tops UNH, 4-2 (BCEagles.com)
Senior forward Mary Restuccia was one of four Eagles to net two points in the fourth-ranked Boston College women’s ice hockey team victory over New Hampshire, 4-2, on Tuesday night on Kelley Rink. The captain assisted two scoring plays, becoming the eighth player in BC history to ever record 100 points in a career.

The captain assisted all four of the fourth-ranked Eagles' goals last weekend, leading BC to a 1-1 record. Boston College rattled off three unanswered goals to defeat Clarkson, 3-2, after falling to St. Lawrence, 2-1, the previous day. Restuccia's three helpers in Saturday's win over the Golden Knights marked the 10th three-point game of her career and the first defeat of Clarkson since the 2008-09 season opener.

Heather is not to bright

3/5 = 3W and 2L
2-7 = 2W and 7L
so, (3W + 2L) + (2W +7L) = 5W + 9L (14 games)
but we were only 4W/8L (12 games)
mayby for HD 2-7 means 2 out of 7 (or 2W + 5L). but that still does not work.
I guess she is not too swift at math, or the expression of mathmatical idea in the English language
and this HDism is wrong too

WORD IS OUT ALL OVER AMERICA!
BC Football is a CLOWNSHOES Football Program!
If this kid Lynch bails on Spazoo, and the upper tier commits now are so low grade even National Sports blogs and groups are catching on to the disaster……..also a small class or not very many low end kids as the previous article stated….
….. then the magical window to have cleaned house and fired Spazoo and the entire staff to prevent the quick slide into the abyss of Dante’s last rectum of hell was missed, (as most of Eagle Nation posted to BC’s stubborn Jesuits and arrogant Athletic Director) and BC’s malaise will become reality very shortly into the 2012 season.
The big question is who can BC hire —with or without the little Napoleon GDF involved in the process— that can have the instant impact recruiting magic wand and to tell our resident Napoleon GDF to STFU, get me a big leased jet, and get the limp wristed left wing radical BC Admins off my borderline recruits and start the long road back to respectability and then the long haul to being like 2007…. 8-0 and Number 2 in the BCS and riding in the trolley car for the National Title game in New Orleans?
Me thinks that is a $4M a year Coach with utter staff freedom to give the Yawkey Yokel braintrust a house cleaning nuclear enema.
Chris Peterson is now in a BCS conference, so he might leave only for huge $$$ and years?
Lots of great offensive minded assistants were hired in a perfect 2011 window for BC to have erased Spazoo and the inept staff?
Brent Pease maybe if he turns the Gator Offense into something special, but BC would have to exceed the huge $$$$ that Florida would give him to be an assistant?
The 2008 dominos are all falling now after the juvenile deliquent, immature temper tantrum by GDF when Jags, like all coaches, went for a beauty contest interview with the Jets.
Sad days coming at the Heights.
High school kids and their parents smelled the incompetence in October and word spread quickly.
Welcome Eagle Nation to the Colonial Conference. We went from Doug Flutie and Matt Ryan to Holy Cross.
How am I funny?
I’m funny how?
I mean, funny like I’m a clownshoes?
I amuse you? I make you laugh…
I’m here to amuse you?
What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?"
What the is so funny about me? Tell me. Tell me what’s funny?

Your a Goodfella!
If BC ends up playing 5 or 6 ranked teams in 2012 and comes up empty, that would mean an incredible streak or a death spiral of what could be 12-13 straight losses over 4 seasons.
This might have a slight detrimental effect on being the greatest Coach at BC in 16 years if in 4 of those years you can’t beat a Top 25 team?
But fear not…….with the Spazoo Excuse Train now being re-fueled for a major public relations diarrhea spin storm concieved at the Yawkey Yokel Center with Mark Bluntshammed at the Globe eating his free lunches, the Spazoo may just get his Veals on Wheels van lease renewed.
We all need to buy a $5.00 High Mass Card and make sure you tell the Monks saying the prayers in the service that this is for program salvation and if some have to die to pay for the sins of our Jesuit rulers, then…
….sprinkle the holy water, burn the incence and Dominus Vobiscum.
Say amen.
Chris Petersen likely won’t be in a BCS conference in a few years when thy eliminate the AQ.
Then again, Chris Petersen has already turned down a lot more high profile programs than BC, so this seems like the ultimate pipe dream.
