All of the talk, all of the analysis, all of the prognostication - it's over. It's time for everything to begin being settled where it belongs. Boston College and Tulane take the field in Oxford, Mississippi, kicking off each's attempt to drive towards Omaha and the College World Series.
It's been an incredibly long wait for the Eagles, and the world in 2016 is much different than it was seven years ago. Social media, the prevalence of the Internet, more localized media outlets - it's all putting a much larger spotlight on every game. It's going to be like nothing they've ever played in.
And away...we...go.
