Deja vu for BC all over again?

With the status of junior quarterback Matt Ryan , who has an injured left ankle, expected to be a game-time decision, Boston College for the second year in a row faces the prospect of starting an unproven sophomore backup against 18th-ranked Clemson in today's Atlantic Coast Conference opener at Alumni Stadium.

Looks like I'll get the drive back soon. First I got a call from the Emeryville store, then I got a call from a person in Apple Executive offices (she gave me her name and number, but I'm not going to publish it here). I'll report back when I have more info. PS: The number of idiotic comments has gone way up.

It is all a matter of perspective. For Boston College, a trip to Disney World and Friday's Champs Sports Bowl against Michigan State had to be sold a different way. The Eagles, who have won seven straight bowl games - but none of them New Year's Day quality - had their sights set on the ACC title and an Orange ...

PARDON me if the subject is still too raw for some to contemplate at this moment, but here&#39;s a question about the Curse of the Bambino, a phenomenon that, it seems, came up more than once in the past week.

&#8230;. history has the tendency to repeat itself over and over again. No, humans do not learn from past mistakes of their ancestors. They might learn from their own past mistakes, but that will be gone and forgotten by the next generation already. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if this little introduction raised an eyebrow or two [...]

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The premier matchup in Massachusetts high school hockey is Catholic Memorial against BC High. Why? Because they've met in the Super 8 championship every March for the last six years; because CM has won 15 state championships over the last 19 years; and because BC High won the Super 8 title in 1996 and ...

Burnett Adams figured it was time to get on with his life. The former Boston College basketball player had always regretted not completing his degree when he left BC in 1983. He decided to go back to school 10 months ago.

I'm starting to realize that my blog is a bit of a time machine.  For example I can create a blog entry to warn myself about something that WILL happen in the future.    My current NTP  blog entry is a good example.  I wrote this for myself as much as for the people who read my blog (or find me via Google).  I know for sure that NTP on Debian is going to bite me sometime in the future and I'm going to forget WHY.  Then I'm going to (of course) go to Google or my aggregator and search for NTP and then find my blog post.    I've done this about a dozen times now and its saved me a TON of time!

HARTFORD -- On this Sunday afternoon in February we had a break from conference rivalries. Courtesy of CBS, we had North Carolina vs. Connecticut, which means we had ACC vs. Big East and defending national champions vs. would-be successors. Credentials were issued for 22 NBA teams. (Does this mean the eight who didn't send a rep are going to be ...

THE BCS system has been tweaked and patched and overhauled and then tweaked some more. As was written in this same space this time last year, the year before that and the year before that

The middle of winter generally finds me wondering more than wandering. Oh, I still get out, if only for a Sunday afternoon drive just to make sure it's all still there. If you haven't tried it, take a drive past some of the haunts where you hunkered down in last fall.

Jim Posner sent me a link yesterday to an MP3 of a conference call between the press and two members of the Clinton campaign. It's really illuminating.  There are controversies the press isn't reporting, esp betw the Clinton campaign and NBC. Will there be a debate on Feb 26 and will CNN host it or MSNBC? There's some doubt, but you can't see it when you watch the broadcasts.  I'd love to subscribe to a feed of these conference calls, but we only happened to stumble upon this one. This morning on MSNBC they were talking about a conference call with Hillary Clinton, they said she sounded tired. I'd like to hear that for myself.  There's a difference in 2008, the campaign is not just being covered by the professional media, the people are doing it too. Even if we don't have our people on the calls, I'd still like to hear them.  So, if you have an idea how we could catch a stream of these, please post a comment. Thanks. PS: I archived the MP3 in case the link above goes bad.

A Codfish Bowl dynasty? Now that Babson has won the title twice in the last three years, the latest a 7-2 romp last night over UMass-Boston at Clark Athletic Center, the D-word may get tossed around.

Hope somebody from BC remembered to bring the helmets and shoulder pads. These guys from Miami don't mess around. If BC is going to get by Miami in its ACC tournament quarterfinal game this afternoon, the Eagles better be prepared for some serious combat when the ball goes up, particularly if some Miami kid has shot it.

You can&#39;t spell BCS without BC And you can&#39;t spell &quot;BCS bowl buzz&quot; without a zzzzzzzzzzzzz. With a 36-17 upset of 13th-ranked West Virginia on Saturday, unheralded Boston College took a giant step toward claiming

No one wanted to believe it, especially not after Boston College's 74-71 overtime victory over Miami in yesterday's quarterfinals of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Had the Eagles lost, would it have imperiled their chances for a bid to the NCAA Tournament?
