Heights and Lows

Combination of optimism and sarcasm from Section A and other various corners of the BC Internet.

Game preview:

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

There’s a theoretical to practical discussion about the best FBS team in the state of Massachusetts and that’s not great!

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

What did you want us to try not to suck?

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

How bad do you have to be to go from recruited by Bama to being benched at BC and Rutgers?

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

Guess we have to party with @KMSColeman for the next round. #WeAreBC

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

MACtion meets Massholes. Approve.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

UMass set to become 13th member of MAC for '25-26 season. They’ll join in all sports MAC offers. Hockey will stay in Hockey East and, per source, lacrosse will apply to stay in A-10 as an affiliate member. https://t.co/PcaOjEx2MP

This is characteristically awesome and uncharacteristically BC. But also…tinfoil hat…you’re telling me we open in a national spotlight game and made the biggest BC sports hire ever in ten days?

[Boston College Football @BCFootball]

Welcome Home, Coach.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

@mike_gualtieri @SuperBowl I mean what’s being your 48 hours leader if not giving you love back.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

We gave @mike_gualtieri a hard time but here we are, the Friday before the Super Bowl, and Sportscenter is talking about BC football.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Headed on @SportsCenter to talk about Bill O’Brien’s impending hire at BC and Chip Kelly replacing him at Ohio State.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

Ok, Rick Pitino at the Celtics is probably the biggest. But he’s not walking through that door.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

One, this news cycle was hysterical. Two, I cannot think of a more "headline" coaching hire in Boston - let alone BC - in my lifetime. Blake James, go have a white claw and get down to Cru - you earned this one.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Here's our @espn story on Bill O'Brien and BC working toward a deal for him to become the next head coach, per ESPN sources. A deal is expected to come together soon, giving BC a coach with extensive NFL experience and strong local ties. https://t.co/hzUhlUN0Um

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

@BCIntJeff @bcatleagle @MMcCunney Yeah, this Florida State thing seems out of thin air. It’s a gift we can make a hire right now, but also reading tea leaves is meaningless. BC plays the media game well, and helps that Thamel lives in CHill and likes his sources.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

@bcdaved @mike_gualtieri If we got two years of success and someone moves on to something big…that’s two years of success we didn’t have and a culture change. It’s the sin of the Jags era.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

@dannienoonan @AJBlack247 I lived that era. I loved that era. But it was complete luck. He hit on 12 three times in a row with Bell, Smith and Dudley and got 9s every time. But even in the 2004/05 season we *still* struggled to get fans until Cuse.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

@BCdee97 @CrixusEsq @HeightsFriends There's more detail coming. Yes, athletics is VERY much involved in a specific part of this with news to come.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

When Hafley went 5-7 this year, we’d either be climbing uphill out of the pile of candidates or sticking with him. This is a blessing at the time. My dream team is BOB HC with Al Washington as DC/HCiW

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

Hafley is leaving because of the Newton teachers strike.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

@Meaghz The combo TV-VCR that we watched on was a better feed through BC Cable.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

Did NESN connect to this broadcast using the Agganis dial-up? Woooof.

[Heights and Lows @BC_Heights_Lows]

This has always been a missed alumni engagement opportunity.

[moon dog @L0rdPatrick]

Would pay stub hub resale markup to watch these kids performance in Ignacio tonight #eags @BC_Heights_Lows
