We've got just as good fans as any other team in the ACC.<BR/><BR/>It's not our fault Boston is so far from Tampa. <BR/><BR/>Another poster had a good explanation. We're a small private school and we don't send out 10000 grads a year. We get kids from all over the US, we send alumni everywhere. So it's hard to have regions outside the northeast with tons of us. And most of our fans are alums. Kids grow up to be Heels fans or Duke fans just because they grew up in Carolina. There are Miami fans who never went to Miami, or maybe even never went to college. <BR/><BR/>It's a little harder for us because we're a small, Catholic school but hey we're still in the title game so whatever, you know?BeantownBC85https://www.blogger.com/profile/13840966088144987451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003005976422676915.post-64248099156809531322008-12-04T13:34:00.000-05:002008-12-04T13:34:00.000-05:00Agreed on not making a valiant effort to make it t...Agreed on not making a valiant effort to make it to the game as a result of us playing BC... again. <BR/><BR/>I made the journey last year and the lack of BC fans amazing. It was just like Lane Stadium, BC took one section and the rest of the crowd was Maroon and Orange. I was hoping neutral territory would mean more opposition, and the game would get rowdy. <BR/><BR/>I'm not going this year so that BC fans can understand what its like to be the 12th man.Jake Spainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690153846877155036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003005976422676915.post-80201957423242162702008-12-04T01:03:00.000-05:002008-12-04T01:03:00.000-05:00I'm not blaming the economy as the reason I'm not ...I'm not blaming the economy as the reason I'm not going. Tampa is just too damn far away. My car won't make it that far and I don't have anyone who wants to fly. Oh well, I'll make it in a year where we're better than 8-4 in the regular season. Our team just isn't exciting enough to make the trip by myself...wait a year or two and it will be.<BR/><BR/>Love the blog, btw.

But I...I'm looking forward to a good game in Tampa. <BR/><BR/>But I'm confused why you don't think we're a worthy enough opponent? We might not be Miami or FSU, but we're a small, Jesuit, Catholic, academic school. This is our second year in the title game, we were brothers with you in the Big East, and we've done pretty well in bowls. We've done pretty well in the ACC and we're a consistent top25 team. And for a team our size I think were doing all right.<BR/><BR/>And the economy effects BC fans the same way it effects VT fans. Hell we might even bring more than 100 fans to a stadium outside Boston for a change :D <BR/><BR/>Good luck this Saturday, may the best team win.BeantownBC85https://www.blogger.com/profile/13840966088144987451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003005976422676915.post-60704680822431294622008-12-03T19:43:00.000-05:002008-12-03T19:43:00.000-05:00The truth is no one wants to go watch impotent pla...The truth is no one wants to go watch impotent play calling.<BR/>The second factor, it's almost finals week so that is a thing to consider, this adds to the unwillingness to go to the ACCCG.mainamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242499521940565281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003005976422676915.post-15040520598918580872008-12-03T19:15:00.000-05:002008-12-03T19:15:00.000-05:00i dont think not going to the acccg is as radical ...i dont think not going to the acccg is as radical an act as you think it is.furrer4heismanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00025614241660283422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003005976422676915.post-2473729778127899292008-12-03T18:42:00.000-05:002008-12-03T18:42:00.000-05:00I'm not going b/c I am trying to make a statement ...I'm not going b/c I am trying to make a statement to Jim Weaver and Frank Beamer that Bryan Stinespring is not acceptable as an OC.
