BOSTON COLLEGE AT VIRGINIA TECH: MAO!

i couldn’t pick bc’s head coach out of a lineup if he had a fucking name tag on.

Frank Beamer even kind of looks like the Sandman in the original Metallica video, too, but with more neck skin.

I love how KSK just throws in the one word sentence putdown: Faggot. Cockgobbler.

I just shed a tear of blood after watching the hit that QB took

But Orson…the Northeast has the best sports fans!

Don’t you understand…college sports don’t count when rating sports fans! Haven’t you watched ESPN?

Jenkins of Beamer, “My boy’s got wicked smarts.”

I feel like a small child eating breakfast and watching TMNT with that Krang reference.

ok – bad reach. My bad. That smell is me.

Orson, Satan killed Cliff Burton b/c of the bass solo parading as a song known as Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) & not Battery. Although Battery is such an underappreciated song off of Master of Puppets as is Leper Messiah.

“The entire student body of UVA has also been put on the terrorist watch list as a result of this rule. Good luck flying to Breckenridge this year without a full cavity search, fucknuts!”

Fortunately, the BC student body is within driving distance of Wachusett.

5 -

Ryan sat out one series and came back in to win the game.

And please, please, please do not lump BC in with your typical Boston sports fan, people. As Orson alludes to, your typical Pats or Red Sox “yahdood” doesn’t really like BC.

We’re a national university that brings in students from all over the place. Most of us pronounce our "r"s.

From a BC fan: Uh, thanks Orson, I think. Also, Randy Edsall is God will make a bad comment about BC here in the comments in 5, 4, 3…

Gerry dorsey, football does exist outside of the south and midwest. You might learn a few things about other teams. Try the Internet, I hear it’s pretty good for information gathering.

I also just want to ask everyone to please understand the following: BC fans do not equal Red Sox fans. So there will be a significant contingent of fans in Fanieul Hall in Boston watching the game on ESPN and could care less about that goddamn baseball team that just won’t die like it should have 100 years ago.

That is all.

“We’re a national university that brings in students from all over the place.Most of us pronounce our "r"s.”

Never mind all those drunk-ass “triple Eagles” running around at Chestnut Hill tailgates.

Then I shall root for you tonight #11, b/c ever since the Sawx came back down 0-3 on the Yankees, it seems like everyone is a Sawx fan. F*ck Damon, f*ck Affleck, f*ck Fallon.

14 – The place has changed since the 80s, even. 20-30 years ago it was mostly a New England school. Now, it has a pretty wide reach. Although it seems, like every college in the Northeast, roughly a third of its students come from Long Island.

And with that, I’m not sure I helped our case any.

BC is still a bunch of collar-popping dickwads, whether your average sawx fan likes them or not.

@13

I work on the BC campus.

While I’m sure there will be a decent showing in Blacksburg, I’ve seen a heck of a lot more Sox than BC (as Yogurt would say) moichandise on campus this week.

Chris Fowler turned 14 in 1976, sorry to ruin your visage Orson.

1. - The ACC is jayvee. As evidenced by the mudhole LSU stomped in Va Tech’s ass earlier this year. That’s why we in the south don’t pay much attention.

How could you not like people from Boston?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JMOh-cul6M

Oh, yeah. I see why.

hey alex,

whine to somebody else. the reason i don’t know what he looks like is bc gets no exposure. call espn if you don’t like it. and i would use the internet to gather information on bc, but it turns out i don’t give a shit.

I’ve always seen Beamer’s neck thing as being more of a Kuato.

Couldn’t help but notice that in the post where you named Jenkins, under Marcus Vick’s section you called the ACC a “dogfight.” Ah, sweet anachronistic irony…

Beamer hasn’t wicked smarts, just a big old neck goiter. Chokies lose to the Eagles.

Re #24: It’s still not as bad as Fred Smoot’s post-game quote after the Arizona game on Sunday. From Monday’s Washington Post:

Later, cornerback Fred Smoot grumbled in the locker room that he and his teammates could not keep allowing these games to unravel. “Finish it off” is a phrase the Washington players often use to describe games in which they appear to be in control early. They had come close to not finishing “it off.”

“Once you got the dog down you got to kill it,” Smoot said.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/21/AR2007102101404.html

Doug: nice Arnold reference.

“Quuuaaaaiiidddddd….”

1. - Not even if the nametag said “Jeff Jagodzinski?” And I didn’t have to look that one up. Guess one of the perks of going 7-0 without having to play anyone is just a little bit of play on College Football Live.

#6, #12 – Yeah, I know it’s elitist, but I don’t have time for people who don’t like college sports. F ’em.

1. - It wasn’t that moment when everyone turned against the Red Sox, it was the next year when ESPN declared every Boston/NY regular season game to be the MOST IMPORTANT BATTLE OF OUR LIFETIME!!!

And I wouldn’t lump Damon in with those other two fuckwits…he didn’t try to be on every cover of Us Weekly for two years straight by being seen with popular Hollywood skanks (Affleck), and he isn’t dancing around like a fairy in Diet Pepsi commercials (Fallon). Plus he actually makes good movies, and he’s married to a normal-looking chick.

A certain GW graduate/ UConn fan is surely letting us down in the hate department at this threat as #13 had smart money on. Perhaps he’s out buying weed or getting ready for the big date with South Florida this weekend (neither being mutually exclusive).

threat = thread and all that shit before Pedantic dave busts my balls.

I leave this comment solely to give a nod to the Krang reference. Quick poll: Which college coach most reflects said inter-dimensional traveling brain? (Criteria for reflection up to your own discretion)

UConn Rules, their schedule is legit
BC is joke and all their fans are posers
Edsall > Leavitt

Is that trollish enough? Is that a good substitute?

I can make any edits nessessary.

I went to a BC game this year and didn’t go to any Sox games. In fact, in the last 12 months, I’ve been to BC hockey, football and (even though I hate the sport—it was with a friend) basketball games. I haven’t been to a single Sox game. But there aren’t 50 people like me in all of New England.

College sports fans are the only true fans. We’re more loyal, more intelligent (on average) and more engaged than fans of pro sports. College football fans are the best fans of all—we live and die with our teams. The Pats lose to the Colts? Whatever, Sully can wait for revenge in the playoffs or just go cheer for the Sox or (now that they might be good again) Celts. Your college team loses it its rival? The next 12 months of your life are pretty much fucked…

#12, ah, the large national fanbase. Hence the primo bowl bids every year to Charlotte and Boise.

I think I confused Macho Harris with Illinois’ CB Vontae Davis and thought his nickname was Champ. Hey- if you want football knowledge and calls that aren’t on the brink of trainwreck the whole time, look elsewhere.

I won’t be able to watch the game. I’ll be out at the bars trying to find a girl that looks exactly like Zwinky in the add.

I would not make fun of Chris Fowler, acne-laden or otherwise. Did anyone else notice how jacked he was in that one Gameday commercial when they were all working out?

I say that with the utmost security in my manhood….

man, i really hate Va Tech, but if you don’t get a couple chills watching that stadium entrance then I challenge your fanhood…
best Va Tech game ever? Sugar Bowl ass-tearing at the hands of the Auburn Tigers in Nawlins, LA.

I’m really torn as to who to pull for tonight- as much as i don’t like the Hokies, I would really love to begin de-throning all of the Boston area franchises tonight, and the let the Redskins pull off the upset against the Pats on sunday… oh- wait- i need to go to Kissing Suzy Kolber to start that thread…….

I can’t help it. Every time Chris Fowler says “Hyman” I chuckle.

#17: As usual, jay whitlow just pointed out that you missed the point that we were trying to make. jay whitlow frequently posts his comments as pure sarcasm and is always disgruntled to find that people take jay whitlow’s comments seriously. Lighten up!! You and # 22 as well! sammie was born with a natural understanding of jay whitlow and his sarcasm and he has never eve visited that state that you would go to if you were of the persuasion to visit bc. and, don’t forget, jay whitlow has some pretty good credentials himself and that is well-documented by the am arch society. so, next time, please realize that jay whitlow and his comments are 100% bs and if you don’t understand his sarcasm please e mail sammie about it next time.
jay whitlow by eric y

What is this Boston College you speak of?
I always get Hilary Swank and Matt Damon confused.
The Depahted is the wicked bad fuckin movie with some hahd ass actin. Mahk Walbehg is a God among peasants. Pass Da Chowdah

Gentlemen,

Right now, on the sideline of Lane Stadium, Erin Andrews is wet.

That is all I have to say.

This game is where offense went to die. The only reason it’s still shivering in the corner as opposed to getting zipped into a bag was that “touchdown” for the Hokies…

Meantime, BC’s punter could be the player of the game if only he played for Notre Dame.

and i was THIS close to depositing my entire savings into my sportsbook.com account and betting the under, once i heard the rain was holding up over the stadium… saving for a house ba damned, i coulda doubled up…

I’m going to jump way out on a very weak limb and say that Matt Ryan wil not win the Heisman. Yes, I’m clairvoyant.

and a wet Erin Andrews is the default player of the game, and may even end up the Pontiac Gamechanger of the Year- if nothing else that gets an ESPY…
If she doesn’t get a poster at GameDay then there is something wrong with this world…

I would also like to point out that Matt Ryan is being outplayed by Sean Glennon. Sean. Fucking. Glennon.

Matt Ryan has already lost the Heisman this game but the referees have made a strong argument since they’ve created 10 points for VTech on the “touchdown” and reversing the interception immediately before the FG.

and why can’t Rachel Nichols do the rainy Thursday night games…

This is actually less interesting than the AU/ARK game a couple weeks ago… If we’re lucky they will televise the cheerleaders on the sidelines playing gin-rummy. Or I kinda dream about them laying around getting wasted like the cheerleaders from “The Waterboy”.

Did he (Blackledge or James) just say, “keep a back in to help block, shit!?”

This is actually less interesting than the AU/ARK game a couple weeks ago. maybe they will change cameras to the cheerleaders on the sidelines playing gin-rummy. I can’t help but think about the cheerleaders laying down on the benches during the game drinking Evan Williams and getting wasted from “The Waterboy”…

Nick Saban fucking sucks gnat balls.

@52:
and he pays his players with school books to hold the lil’ nat’s legs apart…

…and Nick Satan bribes his players with school books to hold those lil’ gnat’s legs apart while he does it!!!

53… damn slow refresh button…

Oooh, another Ramsey is having a rough night.

Hey Cox and Bo…Nick Saban DOES have time for your shit…see you punk mufo’s in that midden sty you call a stadium, in the midden shithole you call a town. WarTeaglePlansmenSociologyDegree Bitches.

DI DI MAO!

1. - The, at best, 5th best team in the ACC beat who I would argue is the 3rd or 4th best team in the all mighty SEC, Alabama, on a neutral field.

But, I guess we aren’t, “relevant,” in the South. Capitalize it, you mouthbreather.

Coop? 3rd? Really?

LSU, Florida, then Bama?

No Auburn, UK, USC, or Georgia?

err… Di Di Wao

Coop,

C’mon, that was a complete letdown game for Alabama, and the idea that they’re legitimately the third or fourth best team in the SEC is absurd.

That chamber was empty. What a complete collapse by the Hokie defense in the last 6 minutes. Really, wtf, what the fuck.

Ryan may have won the Heisman back in that last flurry, provided they maintain that unblemished record.

So BC somehow survived with 6 bullets in the chamber. Amazing.

Matt Ryan hates America.

You don’t hate children, do you?

Thanks so much for showing Matt Ryan puke, ESPN. I needed that visual in HD.

i’m going to go ahead and call it- Auburn goes undefeated and wins the Nat’l Championship in 2009.
Who wants to put money against that?

That last TD pass was amazing. Though really holding Virginia Tech to 10 points is no big deal-not sure why the announcers thought so.

Holy fucking shit. ESPN missed a goddamn golden opportunity by letting Flutie head north to Canadia for this game. His head might have exploded from homerism watching that last TD pass.

Ah, good for BC. I’m glad to see the local boys stay in the hunt.

Too bad 90 percent of their “fans” are watching the Red Sox right now.

It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t good, but its a win. And it made me believe.

For here men are men, Boston College, forever and for aye.

best moment from tonight contest:

1. matt ryan constructs game winning drive.
2. matt ryan jumps into head coach’s arms, which causes head coach to fall.
3. matt ryan is shown on the sidelines throwing up various times.

Boyz II Men singing “God Bless America,” it’s 1994 all over again.

B.C. won?!? B.esus C.hrist, I just vomited my pants.

makes me sick. only thing worse than the debacle that was the ending to this game, watching ryan puke on national TV, and five second later watchin him dry-heave is this;

five minutes later turned over to the world series to see Boys-2-men, fucking seriously, singing ‘God bless america’

i hate life.

Something tells me Boys II Men won’t be getting a lot of calls after that little performance.

Yes, I’ve turned on the baseball. I’m just trying to fit in…

Dear America,

Don’t fuck with the Jesuits. Just don’t.

Sincerely,
God

(Fight Club spoilers but you should have seen it already anyway)
Boston College: “I want you to really listen to me. …. My eyes are open.”
….
BCS: What happened to you?
Boston College: Trust me…. Everything is going to be fine… You met me at a very strange time in my life.

Now that’s a quarterback. Nice job.

I think you mean, VT… not UVA… but thats ok. I think you went to Florida, so that explains it.

Go Dawgs.

LSU, certainly. But, after LSU, it is a free for all between the other SEC squads.

South Carolina beat Kentucky and Georgia, but lost to Vandy at home.

Georgia beat Alabama, but can’t defeat Tennessee, who is not very good, or South Carolina.

Auburn can’t beat South Florida at home, needs tons of help to defeat Kansas State at home, but goes to Florida and wins, and should have defeated LSU in Baton Rouge.

Kentucky laid a gigantic egg versus South Carolina, but then defeated LSU.

You can easily make a plausible argument that, as of today, Alabama is the 3rd or, AGAIN, 4th best team in the SEC this year, which you can also argue for Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Auburn, and Kentucky, in terms of being ranked somewhere between #2 and #6 in the conference.

Mind you, I am judging teams on results, as they do seem to be the only objective criteria available.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! BC, You lived! Ohio State, your turn, double or nothing. MAO! slap

Orson, I’m surprised you were able to find an appropriate picture of Jagodzinski for the Deer Hunter photoshopping. He was smiling in every picture I could find.

Yeah, Jags is having a Houston Nutt-like initial campaign at BC.

For the purposes of my entertainment, I hope he also turns out to be “crazier than a sack of rabid weasels.”

Thats why they are called “Chokies”

For a “supposedly” genius defensive coordinator, Bud Foster “screwed the pooch” last night by letting three obviously worn-out d-linemen try to pressure Ryan. It was just a matter of time before he found someone open.

I just want to say a few things.

1) Yes, BC looked baaaad for pretty much the entire game, but they played well enough to stay in it and come out with a win. That counts for alot. Thank you Matt Ryan.

2) I will concede the following: The ACC is obviously NOT the best conference. The SEC is. Moreover, BC probably is still not the 2nd best team in the country even after that win. Maybe 3 or 4, but not 2. Note that I am saying this as a BC fan who just saw the second coming of Flutie.

3) Having said all of that, I have one thing to say to the SEC douchebags who smacktalked BC before the game: SUCK IT.

4) And finally, Craig James is an asshole. That is a scientific fact (ditto for the refs at that game).

That is all.

thanks ESPN, i really wanted to watch Ryan blow chunks on the sideline….

Fuck Matt Ryan for winning me over last night. I hate BC, the instiution and 99.9% of its students with such a passion, but that was a crazy performance by Ryan. Insane. Blackledge said it best after the game, BC’s supporting cast “isn’t that good” and he meant “they blow figurative chunks” but Ryan got the job done.

I don’t want to hear any “but LSU beat them by 50!” LSU didn’t play at Va. Tech, on a Thursday night in a rainstorm. I still feel like BC is riding on an Aladdin-style Magic Carpet Ride that has to end soon but, yes, this is a Whole New World.

(I’m auditioning for an ESPN columnist gig)

Wow, those two teams were supposed to be top10 teams? I understand it was raining, but wow…

Matt Ryan couldn’t do anything until VT played prevent. How in the world does that win you over?

Coop – everybody else already made the point for me. Bama isn’t the 3rd best team in the conference. And if you want to play the who beat who game, you can probably make SMU the national champ somehow. And as for the capitalization thing, am I wrong for not spelling out Alabama too? This isn’t grammar class douche.

We’ve secretly replaced Virginia Tech’s Bud Foster with Nebraska DC Kevin Cosgrove for the last four minutes of this game. Let’s see if anyone notices.

Yes, this was like watching the Deer Hunter, except the action was alot slower……. This game was a slap in the face , which makes watching the Deer Hunter hilarious..Di Di Mao! (Slaps Walken) Mao! (Slaps Deniro) and this back and forth goes on for like the whole game essentially, except when Deniro puts three in the chamber whilst getting slapped every 5 seconds….Hilarious!! Like the Deer Hunters, Matt Ryan is more like the guy in the cage that is being eaten by rats in the water who gets released by his friends after an onsides kick recovery with 1 min to go to allow him to save his season and his Heisman campaign….Did Doug Flutie face Vinnie Testaverde in the Hail Mary game?, and Testaverde is still playing…..? Is it still 1987??

1. - Edall – you let me down. I was looking for some mind-bending hatred from you. Now you go and pull out some unbiased bullshit. By the way, the mouse says you have the columnist job.

The bad thing about the BC win last night, is that when the Sox win the series, all those fans will shift to BC as if they’d been there all along. Somewhere someone may be able to share my subtle ironic moment that BC uses their college baseball field for parking for football games.

I know Va. Tech was in the prevent and only rushing three guys but they still got pressure and Ryan was getting obliterated all night.

It really pisses me off that I can’t spew my BC hate speech because their job seems like an okay happy-go-lucky Carroll-type and Ryan showed some huge balls taking that crappy team to victory. I can also feel good knowing that they’re losing at some point…the later the loss, the more fucking sweet it will be.

Hey Edsall, BC has been winning despite horrible calls against them by the refs. Everyone here knows you would have two more losses were it not for moronic calls in your favor.

99 – The Temple guy was BOBBLING the ball. I cannot say this enough. That’s why the ref on the field ruled it incomplete, that’s why it wasn’t overturned.

Louisville was still up 17-7 with 10 minutes to go. UConn earned that victory.

And you know what? Who cares. Maybe we should have three losses, but UConn doesn’t. UConn is 6-1 and in first place. That’s all that matter.

14-10 Eagles baby.

I love seeing all these midwest/southeast/westcoast football fans squirm.
