BC Football vs. UMASS (2011)
Note, this was written in September 2024 to recreate and reference a post which was lost. Old computer(s), Google Drive, Facebook, etc. were all searched for context, but not much was able to be recovered. We will try to add some details, but as our memories have faded, this may well be all that we have left of that moment in time.
24 September 2011
The 0-3 Eagles defeated their in-state ‘rival,’ the 2-0 UMASS Minutemen by the score of 45-17.
I watched the game with my sons and 30,175 other fans; capacity is 44,500.
I was able to find the BC YouTube video interview of the head coach when Flutie beat Miami with the famous Hail Mary. They honored that 1986 team at halftime.
