Boston College Daily Links: More On Smith Commitment

"I went up there for their Junior Day," he said. "Coaches Addazio and Day had been talking to me a lot, so I had a good feeling an offer would be coming. We were in our groups, then they called a few of us into the office. Pretty exciting. "I felt I had a strong relationship with [Addazio/Day]. I felt I could trust them, that they were always being truthful with me."

Boston College receiver Alex Amidon was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal season for the Eagles last year. This fall, he is hoping to be part of a turnaround under first-year coach Steve Addazio and offensive coordinator Ryan Day. Last year, Amidon’s 1,210 yards receiving ranked second in the ACC, behind Clemson’s DeAndre Hopkins. Amidon and Hopkins led all ACC receivers in 2012 with six 100-yard reception games each. I caught up with Amidon recently to get his take on the new offense and staff changes.

Senior (and insufferable Bills fan and Buffalo Rumblings reader) Alexander Hoffarth and hundreds of other members of the Boston College community spent all day and night caring for lost runners in St. Ignatius Church. "BC EMS and BC Dining Services did incredible work, and I saw countless examples of BC students stopping by and offering to buy food for the runners and volunteers, or just comfort them," He said. "It was absolutely incredible."
