Congrats to B.J. Raji, Robert Francois and the Green Bay Packers for their 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. Raji and RoFran become the 21st and 22nd Boston College Eagles to win a Super Bowl ring, making it the third straight year an Eagle has won the Super Bowl.
Raji and Francois also join Mark Chmura (Super Bowl XXXI), Bob Hyland and Dick Capp (Super Bowl I) as the only Eagles to win the Super Bowl as members of the Green Bay Packers.
I have no allegiances to the Packers but was happy to see BC Guys hoist the Lombardi Trophy.
