Well. It’s been a while. Hope you all are well.
Many students are back on campus. Classes begin Monday, August 31. Classrooms have been sanitized and “de-densified” (coronaviruses beget new words). Everyone is to wear face masks.
You can see all sorts of information, including testing results, at Reopening Boston College.
Fall “Olympic” sports, i.e., non-revenue athletics, have been delayed ACC-wide and will start during the week of September 7-12. Football is due to begin the same week, with Miami opening against Alabama-Birmingham on Thursday, September 10, and a full slate on Saturday, September 12. Well, not exactly full. BC was to play Ohio University on September 12, but the Middle America Conference canceled play. An alternative was UMass, but it announced there would be no season for the Minutemen.
UPDATE: BC announced today it will play Texas State on September 26 at Alumni Stadium. The Bobcats are a Division 1 FBS team from the Sun Belt Conference. Unless BC finds another team in the next few days, the Eagles will open a 10-game, all-ACC, season at Duke on September 19. Here’s the full schedule, times TBA.
- September 19 — @ Duke
- September 26 — Texas State
- October 3 — North Carolina
- October 10 — Pitt
- October 17 — @ VaTech
- October 24 — Georgia Tech
- October 31 — @ Clemson
- November 7 — @ Syracuse
- November 14 — Notre Dame
- Friday, November 27 — Louisville
- December 5 — @ Virginia
There has already been a reschedule in the ACC because of coronavirus testing results. N.C. State was to open the season on September 12 against Virginia Tech. Due to a cluster of positive test results at N.C. State, the Wolfpack will open on September 19 against Wake Forest and play the Hokies on September 26.
There are no prospective schedules yet announced for BC hockey and basketball teams.
Anybody have any ideas about how we can do game watches on Zoom?
Stay tuned and be flexible.
