Congrats to Will Blackmon ('06), Mark Herzlich ('10), Mathias Kiwanuka ('05), Chris Snee ('04) and the New York Giants for their 21-17 victory over the New England Patriots last night in Super Bowl XLVI. It's the second Super Bowl ring for Snee and Kiwi and the first for Blackmon and Herzlich.
Blackmon and Herzlich become the 23rd and 24th Boston College Eagles to win a Super Bowl ring, while Snee and Kiwi become the seventh and eighth Eagles to win more than one Super Bowl. It's the fourth consecutive season that a former Boston College player earns a Super Bowl ring.
Blackmon, Herzlich, Kiwi and Snee join Steve DeOssie (Super Bowl XXV) as the only Eagles to win the Super Bowl as members of the New York Giants. The seven Super Bowl rings won by former Eagles as members of the Giants is the most of any NFL franchise.
Congratulations are also in order to the John ('76) and Chris ('79) Mara, Tom Coughlin, Jack Bicknell Jr. ('85), Sean Ryan, Jerry Palmieri, Jerald Ingram and Jen Conley. No other NFL franchise has more ties to the Heights than the Giants and it's great to see the franchise representing Boston College well with their second Super Bowl in four years.
"It's a quality school and they don't always get the cream of the crop, recruit-wise, but they've produced a lot of NFL players, particularly offensive linemen, and that's something to be proud of,'' Mara said. "They produce quality kids, because they take quality kids. They don't take a lot of questionable characters.''

unprecedented PR/recruiting opportunity
I’m not a PR/advertsing/marketing or recruiting rules guru, but for the last 2 wks, since these Super Bowl teams were set, I’ve thought this was the biggest opportunity BC football has had in years, decades, or ever, to sell BC football, and more specifically, to counter the negative recruiting about the nether lands that are BC. New England and ACC football. “What college football program has the most players on the Super Bowl rosters?” WOW!
Tell that to a recuit who thinks BC is second-tier, second-rate, not one of the big-boys that will get me looked at, drafted, schools. It’s not all Alabama, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, Ohio St fellas, or SEC, Big Ten. BOSTON COLLEGE!
Man, I was almost hoping a BC booster, fat-cat (is there such a thing?) would shell out $1.75 M for a 30-second spot during the game, extolling the virteus of BC football via this statistic. Again, I don’t know what’s allowed for BC to “market” this stat in recruiting, but whatever the cost to doing so, we should be (or should have been?) doing it! Maybe we have, but I mean beyond the 10-sec talking point in a recruiting tel call – I mean mass marketing!!

This!
Exactly!
My 200 X 80 Times Square poster of Sir Luke for the Heisman last year type of deal!!
Maybe our new AD Brian Favat hires you as our PR/media guru!!!!
I would gladly bring you a nice fresh hot calzone daily!
Super Bowl I
Interesting to see we had two guys on Lombardi’s Packers in Super Bowl I. One of them, Bob Hyland (a first round draft pick) is a candidate for Mayor of White Plains, NY. Also interesting to see that Romanowski earned four rings. Curious if anybody here (with a better memory than mine) thinks whether Romo was as good a linebacker as either Herzlich or Kuechly.
