Forecast: Cold, Cold Rain in My Heart

I took four pages of notes last week, but I just can't bring myself to type about them this week.  I think I'm in a stage of grieving for our football program.  I keep going back and forth between bargaining (e.g., "God please just let us beat UVA") and acceptance (e.g., "better luck next year").

All hope is lost.

Pretty much.

I have about 5 minutes to type this blog before I need to post it in order to get it out before the game.  Sucks, eh?  I wasn't going to post anything... but I figured that a little tid-bit of hope would be helpful this week...

Boston College sucks ALMOST as much as we do.

We sit at the bottom of the Coastal Division, of course.  BC is in the middle of the Atlantic Division, but they are only 2-2 in ACC play to our 1-3.  There's a little bit of hope there.

Sometimes we manage to beat teams better than us.  Worse than us?  No.  Not this season.

Well... the good news is that The Brain managed to figure out how to avoid INTs.  Never.  Throw.  The.  Ball.  Down.  The.  Field.

Vomit.

Even Jesse Palmer was annoyed, and he hates us.  And he's Canadian.

When we scored a TD this time (and our ONLY points in the game), with 1:30 left in the fourth quarter... it was time to be sick, maybe shed a tear or two.  It was pretty disgusting.

So that's where I'm going to leave this.  No more painful reminders from last week.

Can we win this?  Yeah.  We're at home, it's cold, and it's rainy.  Pretty much a perfect Lane Stadium game for November.

Do I think we're going to win?  Ehhhh.... no.  We may lose out the rest of our season.  Our Offense has zero confidence, and I don't think The Hobbit will be able to find any unless something miraculous happens.

Do you believe in miracles?

Love watching this one from home,

The B.S.C.
