Red Sox 2008 Outfield Review
When I handed the Red Sox their 2008 report card, I judged the outfield to be a B+. This group could have been an A+ unit if not for a number of issues. First and foremost, the Manny Ramirez saga, though short in peak duration, was the story of the season and wore on the [...]
UMass Costs BU Top Spot in Latest Poll
Boston University’s grip on college hockey’s #1 spot was a brief one as they fell to #16 UMass on road this weekend to fall to #2 overall, while retaining four first place votes. BU rebounded to shut out #6 Northeastern at home 3-0 on Sunday. With the Terriers ceding the top spot, Minnesota retook it, [...]

The underdog Eagles went to Tallahassee on homecoming and got started fast against the nation’s #19 team.

Red Sox 2008 Infield Review
In my report card, I gave the Red Sox infield a B+, citing the key contributions of some as a big positive, but the injuries as a weight around the infield’s neck. The unit was carried by Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, and Mike Lowell before his late season injury. David Ortiz, hampered by the wrist injury [...]
BU Takes Top Spot in Hockey Poll
The Terriers, who beat UMass-Lowell this weekend, took advantage of losses by Colorado College and archrival BC to take over #1. BU scored 29 first place votes, dwarfing the 12 Minnesota received to place second, despite the Gophers win and tie over UNH this weekend. Colorado College grabbed eight votes to bolster its #3 rank and their [...]
Eagles Shut Out Notre Dame to Win Sixth Straight Holy War
Boston College played its most complete game of the season as they beat the Fightin’ Irish 17-0 to retain the Frank Leahy Memorial Bowl and the Ireland Trophy. BC won with a combination of a ball control offense, anchored with a strong running game, a stifling and turnover-causing defense, and a big-play special teams unit. With [...]

Should the Red Sox Sign Jason Varitek?
Introduction
Jason Varitek filed for free agency last Thursday. It’s not time to panic yet, and the Red Sox still have 15 days of exclusive negotiating rights with their captain. But, is it time for Jason Varitek to go? After a very difficult season offensively, should Varitek seek employment elsewhere? Or…should the Red Sox still pursue [...]
BC Comeback Fails, Clemson Seizes Leather Helmet
In the inaugural Battle for the Leather Helmet, BC blew a brief fourth quarter lead and lost the game to the division rival Tigers. BC was 3-0 entering the game in the ACC series against Clemson, taking each of the first three games by no more than four points each time.
Due to the budding rivalry [...]

Red Sox 2008 Report Card
The Red Sox season is over, sooner than we all would like to have seen it end. It was an up and down season, with the Manny Ramirez saga captivating the Nation for a couple weeks in July. The Sox had key injuries to the likes of David Ortiz and Mike Lowell. They also had [...]
Turnovers Costly as UNC Routs Eagles 45-24
#23 BC continues to struggle maintaining possession of the football and will drop back out of the poll after breaking in just this week. Chris Crane threw three interceptions: one returned for a touchdown, one returned to the one-yard line (resulting in a touchdown on the next play), and a third that led to another [...]
Red Sox Push Rays to Limit, Fall Short
The Red Sox opened the American League Championship series with a hard-nosed victory, but it was the only lead they would have in the series. Like last season’s team, they proceeded to drop the next three games, digging themselves a 3-1 hole. They battled valiantly to force the seventh game, even coming back from a [...]
Eagles Fall to Northeastern and Lose Grip on #1
WCHA Rivals Colorado College and Denver were the beneficiaries of Boston College’s loss, moving up two spots apiece to #1 and #2 respectively. Colorado College garnered the lion’s (or Tiger’s in their case) share of the first place votes with 39 of the 50, while Denver grabbed five. The Eagles, who also beat Bowling Green, [...]
Hokies Score 2 Defensive TDs, But BC Prevails 28-23
The game did not get off to an auspicious start, especially considering that the opponent, Virginia Tech, live off the type of big play they made to start the game. On the third play of the game, Chris Crane (16-32, 218 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT, 1 fumble), trying to make something happen, threw a [...]
