Eagles (1-0) on to Howard

Posted on by

BC-HowardGW2015

The undefeated Eagles take on the Bison of Howard University Saturday. Kickoff at 10 am PT. Howard, an FCS team, lost its opener 49-0 to Appalachian State. This could be a good stat game for BC.

The Alumni Stadium “crowd” at last Saturday’s opener with Maine was reportedly the lowest opening game attendance since 1996. The combination of a holiday weekend, with beautiful weather in New England, and less-than-marquee opponent may have been the cause.

But San Diego Eagles made an excellent showing at the local game watch. More than two dozen Eagles fans watched BC win over Maine, 24-3.

The Eagles were sluggish for much of the game, breaking it open only in the fourth quarter, as these highlights show.

Go Eagles!

BC #1 college in hockey

Beanpot game watch changed to Tuesday, Feb. 3, 5 pm, Beer Co. The opening round was postponed a day because of the snowstorm.

USA Today has published a list of the best US college men’s hockey programs, based on “athletic strength, leadership, career preparation and value.” At the top of the list is none other than, ahem, Boston College. I think BC fans would have only been surprised if some other school was there.

The top 10 college men’s hockey programs are

  • Boston College
  • Wisconsin
  • Minnesota
  • Notre Dame
  • Quinnipiac
  • Denver
  • Michigan
  • Colgate
  • Providence
  • Union

Notice the absence of that other hockey program on Commonwealth Avenue.
