WATCH: Ryan Fitzgerald Goal Gives BC 1-0 Lead Through 2 Periods

+

Here's Ryan Fitzgerald putting the Eagles up 1-0, a score that would hold through the end of the second frame. BC is playing what can be fairly described as a good, solid road game so far. BC leads in shots 22-16 and hasn't given up too many good chances to the Tigers, but when they have, Demko has been there to settle things down.

Cool story from a friend about an FSU fan last night

1

FSU fan immediately offered me his seat on the T and basically refused to let me stand there without taking it. Then I overheard a conversation between him and another FSU fan: "dude, are you trying to be a BC fan by wearing that red bandanna? Come on..." "Nah man, this isn't for BC, this is for everybody...it's about 9-11. You don't know the story of Welles?" Then he proceeded to tell the story of Welles Crowther in detail and mention what an incredible hero he was. Okay, FSU...I'm impressed. ‪#‎wellescrowther‬ ‪#‎redbandanna‬ ‪#‎menandwomenforothers‬

BC Grad Jen Welter Speaks On Becoming First Women Coach In NFL

"I didn’t even dream that it was possible. And I think the beauty of this is that though it’s a dream I never had, now it’s a dream that other girls can have. I guess if that makes me a trailblazer, then I’m honored," Welter said.

But if I could only pick one of the upcoming ACC destination games, I'd have to go with Boston College-Georgia Tech in Dublin. There are so few opportunities to cover any football outside the United States -- let alone college -- this would be a once-in-a-lifetime chance. We are talking about a cultural experience, as opposed to a game in a new place. Imagine more than 50,000 people getting an introduction to the game that sends millions of us into fits of hysteria from August-January (some of us all year long!). Imagine sitting in the stands and starting in on Gaelic chants just because that's what the folks around you know how to do. Imagine treating the game like one big history lesson, touring a place that is steeped in history.
