Here's the way I look at this quite honestly, and every game is the same to me; I don't care ACC, not ACC. You pour your heart and soul into winning the football game; that's all you do. Player, coach, everybody. You pour your heart and soul into it. It is what it is."
-Steve Addazio, per bceagles.com
This is usually where I write something about how many days it has been since BC last won an ACC game (695 days), and how the key players on BC performed (Towles: not well).
Today I don’t feel like doing that.
Saturday was a difficult day for people who care about the BC football program. It was difficult because of how frustrating the game was to watch, but it was also difficult given some of the hysteria surrounding the game, and what the loss could possibly mean going forward.
Yesterday mattered. The loss mattered. And with that, we go to the tweets.

John Johnson picks off Dungey, and he gets run out of bounds on the Syracuse sideline after a long return. A scuffle breaking out.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Oh my goodness....so to recap:
— Michael Sullivan (@MichaelJSully) October 22, 2016
-Will Harris big interception
-Dungey hits Harris with a late tackle
-Benches-clearing brawl!
-Cheers!!!
There we go Eagles, that's exactly how you start a game
— A.J. Black (@BCHysteria) October 22, 2016
Poor decision making by Towles. Could've ran for the first down on third, instead throws a pass incomplete over the line of scrimmage.
— Michael Sullivan (@MichaelJSully) October 22, 2016
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TOWLES JUST RUN
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Knoll hits the 30-yard FG, and BC leads 3-0. Give sophomore safety William Harris the assist on that one, after a huge INT and long return.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
What's up? Oh the usual, just having a breakdown over a game between a 3-3 team and a 3-4 team
— Joe Gravellese (@joegrav) October 22, 2016
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
The Eagles' secondary still has a lot of trouble with those deeper passes. 39-yard gain on third and long.
— Michael Sullivan (@MichaelJSully) October 22, 2016
So I just got to the game. In fairness, I'm on time for these things 99.9% of the time.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
Looks like they're gonna flag BC for pass interference on 3rd down. Ball looked pretty high.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Well, it's defensive holding, so the placement of the ball is irrelevant. 1st and goal at the BC 6.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Uuugufujfjfjfjfjfjfjc
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
But Syracuse scores on the next play. A 3-yard pass from Dungey to Phillips. Might have been a lateral? Well, either way, 7-3 Cuse.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
The automatic first down was by far the worst past of that holding penalty.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
I'm so shocked we took dumb penalties

CUSE FUMBLES! Matt Milano on the recovery, and the Eagles get a break!
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
QB draw to Towles goes for just 1. 4th and 2. Knoll on to punt.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Great decision to punt there IMO. very brave
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Addazio is a damn coward. My god.
— Adam M (@adamar108) October 22, 2016
END ONE: If you like clean football, turn away. Lots of penalties, turnovers, and overall mess. Syracuse has a 7-3 lead.
— Michael Sullivan (@MichaelJSully) October 22, 2016
Orange go 5-wide, and Dungey hits Phillips for a 10-yard score.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
This sucks.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
The important thing if we lose is to make sure not to hurt Addazio's feelings. He only makes $3 million a year so be kind
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
We don't seem to have this whole football thing down do we

Losing by 11 to a 3-4 team despite being +2 in turnover differential.
— Adam M (@adamar108) October 22, 2016
That's what they needed! Willis takes it 89 yards to the house!
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
They may have called that putt early
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
Has BC completed a pass yet
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Patrick Towles completes his first pass of the game. With 1:30 to go in the second quarter.
— Michael Sullivan (@MichaelJSully) October 22, 2016
Rouse carries it to within 2 of the sticks. Before 4th down BC calls timeout with 32 seconds left in the half. Decision time for the Eagles
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Knoll punts, and the boo birds come in.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
My God Addazio man up.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
You aren't imagining things - Daz really did call timeout to set up a punt. Again!
— Joe Gravellese (@joegrav) October 22, 2016
So BC called a timeout to punt the ball???????
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EJHoffses) October 22, 2016
Someone needs to explain to Addazio that even if you want to punt you can take a 5 yard penalty
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EJHoffses) October 22, 2016
And the Orange are content to go to intermission leading 14-10.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Call timeout and then punt?
— Matthew Hasselbeck (@Hasselbeck) October 22, 2016
Stop being so negative about @BCFootball https://t.co/ggEqhwQooF
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
The Cuse punter mishandles the snap, but somehow manages to get the kick off. Only a 22-yard punt though to the BC 27.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Nice pitch and catch from Towles to Walker on 3rd and 9. Give em 17 yards on the completion. 1st and 10 at the Cuse 17.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Willis carries for just 1. 3rd and 12 upcoming.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Towles had no idea the play clock was running out. Absolutely mind boggling.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
Towles finds Michael Walker near the goal post, but Walker can't hang on. He bobbles it and it ends up in the hands of Parris Bennett.
— Michael Sullivan (@MichaelJSully) October 22, 2016
If you can sum up this season in one play, that may be it.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
All you can do is laugh or else you'd cry
— Joe Gravellese (@joegrav) October 22, 2016
Blatant hold on Cuse will push the Orange back to the 15.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Why did BC accept that penalty? They picked up 1 yard!!
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EJHoffses) October 22, 2016
Instead of 2nd and goal from the 14, Addazio accepted a penalty to make it 1st and goal from the 15! Beyond absurd!!!
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EJHoffses) October 22, 2016
@bcinterruption why the f did addazio accept the holding? First and 20. Or take the sack and 2nd and 19?? That td would have never happen
— Nick kleppel (@nick_kleppel22) October 22, 2016
Don't worry I'm sure the Globe will ask these hard questions postgame https://t.co/MEEQOiXFEk
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Back-breaker for the BC defense, as Cuse did its best to false start that drive away. 21-10 Orange after the PAT.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Just announced today's attendance at 34,647. Make of that what you will.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
The policy has always been tickets scanned, not tickets sold. But I doubt many folks spent much time in the stands. https://t.co/meQaffvstT
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Unbelievable fake by the Eagles. Patrick Towles runs 75 yards for a touchdown run. No one knew he had the ball. 21-17.
— Michael Sullivan (@MichaelJSully) October 22, 2016
Darius Wade in at QB, and he misses Walker high on the corner route. Not sure if Towles is hurt.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Why was Darius Wade in there? I'm lost.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
Anytime you can bring in a cold QB off the bench to throw on a 3rd and 7, you have to do it IMO
— Adam M (@adamar108) October 22, 2016
The biggest play of the year and you bring in the backup QB? Is Addazio trying to get fired?
— ERIC HOFFSES (@EJHoffses) October 22, 2016
Knoll squeaks in a 39-yard FG, and we've got a one-point game. Syracuse leads BC 21-20 with 10 minutes to play.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Wow, that was a hell of a catch. Etta-Tawo hauls it in with a defender all over him, then takes it 68 yards for the touchdown.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Well then.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
Is Dungey seriously 31/37 for over 400 yards
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Sack strip recovered by Kevin Kavalec! BC takes over at the Orange 43.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Huge play by the defense, and Wade is still in there at QB. He throws for 12 on 1st down to put the ball on the Cuse 31.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Wade is sacked for a loss of 11. Ugh. That makes it 3rd and 21 from the 25.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Wade's pass bounces off the fingertips of Callinan, and Cuse takes over on downs with 1:50 to play. BC still has 2 timeouts, but...
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
I don't mean to be too negative but @BCFootball was two huge plays away from getting demolished at home by Syracuse
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
Now Syracuse calls timeout. The Orange face 3rd and 3 at the BC 25 with 1:35 to play when we come back.
— BC Interruption (@bcinterruption) October 22, 2016
This is for the season folks. Buckle up.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
Dungey runs for the first down. That'll just about do it.
— Michael Sullivan (@MichaelJSully) October 22, 2016
Dagger.
— Arthur Bailin (@arthurbailin) October 22, 2016
The Eagles couldn't take advantage of several Syracuse miscues in a homecoming defeat.https://t.co/N5S3RtKHpO

I cant imagine another ACC opponent giving BC this many gifts the rest of the year

What is more negative? @bcinterruption

I am 99.9% sure I'm done with Addazio.
