Billy O just met with the team. Players on cloud nine. Billy O brought them to their feet several times. Players general attitude was new beginning. Here we go. Now it starts. Full speed ahead. All players say different feeling.

Heard BC is offering free admission, room and board to Johnny Gaudreau’s two young children and Matthew’s unborn child. Not sure they wanted this out but I’ll report. Heard JY behind this too.🙏👏🙌🏒🦅🥅

I think we are ALL going to like BOB’s staff. Very impressive who he’s targeting. He’s getting the backing from the school on all front. Coaches salaries. Budgets, staffing, facilities etc. BC had made a commitment unlike any time in its record history. Thanks again to BlakeJames

I hope people realize who recruited and built this team and that’s Jerry York. He recruited every player except the 3 portal guys. Wasn’t going to leave the program empty like some coaches do. He deserves applause and praise for another job well done. The libido legend.👍🙏🦅🥅🏒

One thing that I did find out tonight is that BC quietly extended the contract of women’s lacrosse coach Acacia Walker-Weinstein through the 2029 season. She and her staff were also given generous raises. Also enhanced facilities and support promised. Thank you Blake James.

I don’t post much but I will now. I’ve been a BC for over 50 years. Have seen it all in a lot of places. Todays win by BC women’s lax is as impressive and enjoyable as anything I can remember. That last thirty seconds I was screaming like a teenager. 👍☝️🦅💪🥍

Some nice news I missed this week. BC hockey gave out #’s this week. Nobody got Johnny Gaudreau’s #13. Jack Malone had it last year. Nobody had #21 which was Matty’s # at BC. Oscar Jellvick had it last year. He has #15 this year. Looks like both will be retired. 👍🙏🦅🥅🏒👏🙌

Football is working on some big games next few years.
2026: Tennessee in Ireland 🇮🇪 opening weekend.
2027: Notre Dame in Italy 🇮🇹 opening weekend.
2028 & 2029 v Penn State. There in ‘28 and here in ‘29.
Only thing holding things up is PSU wants game at BC at Gillette.

I have gotten many nice DM’s from people on BC Twitter and I thank you. I’m a frustrated fan like you who wants good things for BC. When I report things I don’t try to be first but only accurate and correct. I also try to amplify with details. Never wavered from last week. Go BC.

All the credit for this goes to Blake James. He identified BOB in 2022. Got vibes back to BOB of BC’s interest. Was the first choice and pretty much only choice. Lots of hard talks and negotiation but it got done. Every BC fan owes Blake James a pat on the back.

You guys really suck. Your award is a joke. Your whole process how you determine the winner must be scrapped or just dissolve your putrid award. How could CG not win it. More goals. More PT. 3-1 against winner. Best player on best college hockey team in decades. Your hopeless.

Hi there. Some news. Former Patriots guru Ernie Adams at practice today. Has been to a few. Spoke with BOB and Berj most of practice. Heard he will be an advisor to the HC. Not full time but he’s at BC in some capacity.👍🦅🏈

Another small tid bit tonight. BOB has placed a priority in recruiting. Tonight BC has eleven staff members at eleven different HS games up and down the east coast. Including BOB. Mass, CT, NJ, PA and NY. Doesn’t seem like this group misses much.

2. One person who may have been key to our impressive win over FSU was Ernie Adams. Yes, the Ernie Adams of Patriots fame. BOB has used Ernie since he came to BC in a number of ways. Mostly behind the scenes.

As you know I’m a huge BC guy. Been a fan since the 1960’s. This is by far the worst, saddest and most heartbreaking event I have ever experienced. Have lost friends and people have died. But nothing like this. 🙏🙌👏To the Gaudreau family.

Also heard that Grant is gone. James wants his own guy and is thinking big like BOB. Asked who and said there are several candidates but they are high stakes. One name I heard was Brad Stevens. Before you laugh I mentioned BOB a year before it happened and people laughed…

Just witnessed one of the best BC games I’ve seen in decades here at Alumni Stadium. Bc v #2 Syracuse in Women’s Lax. BC wins 11-10 in sudden death OT. Game had everything you want in an athletic contest. Intensity, toughness, nastiness, commitment and drama.

Have talked with people all around football I know from 34 years in local media. Every person is mesmerized and amazed that BOB is at BC. They all give Blake James the credit. It was an amazing hire. He had BOB in his sights and wasn’t going to stop until the job was done.

BOB meeting with current staff soon. Most likely today. Most of the staff expected to stay as it’s very late in the hiring cycle. One name that’s almost a lock to join BC staff is Doug Marrone. Long time BOB friend. Would most likely be OC. Possibly OL coach.

Nothing but positive. One thing positive as well is BOB’s hiring is only part of the situation here. BC is heavily investing in all fronts of the football program like never before. This was said to me by two very influential football alumni who both played in the NFL.

Only thing I heard is there will be more current assistants gone than first thought. There will also be more hires for strength and conditioning. Recruiting. Analytics. Nutrition. Social media. Complete and total commitment I heard.
Great hire. Great resume. I can tell you he didn’t come cheap. Part of the impact of BOB’s hire plus the commitment made by Blake James to the overall benefit of the entire program. Expect more of this.

BOB wants a fifty thousand seat stadium capacity. An easier sell for recruiting. Getting Leahy out of the way is huge. Berj heavily involved in all of this. He drives everything. Blake also a very big player.

BC news. Hearing that Fr. Jack Butler’s naming as next BC president was expedited because several schools were looking at him to be there president. BC didn’t want to lose him so they stepped up and named him next President yesterday.

Wait until you see how well the baseball coach does. Already has best recruiting year for 2025 in bc history. People all over baseball at every level were stunned that BC was able to get Todd Interdonato. Terrific hire. He’s also given him what he needs to compete.
Love the BOB hire. He’s a no nonsense coach who doesn’t accept bs and isn’t just ok with winning 6 games he’s a maniac on the sidelines which shows he cares. This is what we need in a coach. A dog with some fucking bite not a little poddle like Laughly was.

1. Again I would like to thank all of you who sent me DM’s and stopped by last night at the hockey game. It was deeply appreciated. It’s been a hectic couple of weeks but it’s been worth it. The positive feedback I’ve gotten from people about this hire has been off the charts.

Heard that Boston College football “consultant” Ernie Adams will be in the house. Believe he will be in the scouts section of the press box but will have access to coverage aches.🙏👍…Don’t know what he will do but he will I’m sure have has standard binoculars with him.👍🙏🦅👏

People have to stop looking at the way things have been done in the past or what we have lacked or haven’t had. Those days are done. Leahy is gone and Billy O’Brien and Berj Najarian are in charge with a great leader in Blake James.

1. Couple of small things tonight. Team had its group meeting today at 3:42. After that they break down into individual meetings then treatments and weightlifting. Gone by six. Why 3:42? Why not 3:35 or 3:45? BOB has a 24 hour rule. You have 24 hours when the game ends…

One last thing. BC practiced at 9:30 today. Later the entire team went to the campus mass held at 12:30 in front of O’Neill library. That included players, staff and coaches. They sat in the back and as a team thoroughly enjoyed the experience. BOB sat with TC.

4. Very impressive individual. Left quickly to get back to the weight room. The training will completely change. Staff looked at poor second half performances last three years and believe a lot of it was conditioning. Team was slow and had too many injuries. Lacked physicality.

I again can’t praise James enough. This was a big time process that’s as good as any in recent memory. This is a Red Auerbach, Lou Lamoriello, Theo Epstein type move. Big time. Shows his connections, vision, and ability to get things done. BOB also did not come cheap.

3. Berg lost his wife a couple of years ago in her late forties so I know he wanted to stay close to home as he has a son who is a senior in HS. Also I heard this may not be the last former Patriots employee who is coming to BC. 👀 I’ll keep in touch.

1. To my disappointed BC twitter flock. I feel compelled to address you all in the wake of tonight’s hockey loss to Denver. It is heartbreaking I know, but as an old bald Eagle I can tell you I’ve been through a lot of these. Many of them more gut wrenching that tonight.

From an impeccable source. BC will have no comment on football search today.

This was the other Patriots staffer that I talked about when BOB got the job. Some thought it was Tom Brady. It was Ernie but it was sworn to secrecy. Dante Scarnecchia has also been at practice and is an “Advisor “ as well.

Just back from Bill O’Brien radio show at the Stockyard in Brighton.
Said there would be a new punter on Saturday. Didn’t mention who it was. But you could tell he was not happy with the punter the first two weeks. The whole operation was “sloppy” in his words.

Make now mistake, Leahy runs things. He hates any big event or celebration with sports. Didn’t attend a hockey game all year. He’s a tyrant/dictator/czar and complete control freak. He’s out of control and must go.

7,608
As someone who was in the Boston media and got to know Berg over 35 years I can tell you that this is not only a home run hire but a grand slam. Think about this. He was Bill Belichick’s right hand man for 24 years with the Patriots. Belichick and the Krafts lived him.

I’m not going to speak in the latest hockey choke nor will I discuss the obvious coaching issues that are present. Time for that. But I just hope people appreciate and remember the job Jerry York did from 1997-2016. It was amazing.

TC update 2: somehow the medical staff heard about it midweek last week and examined him. He was out in concussion protocol based on his diagnosis. That included not playing on Saturday. He was back on Saturday and has passed all markers in the protocol. So he’s ready for Sat.

TC update. Castellanos participated fully in practice and is cleared to play Saturday. He missed Saturday because of concussion like symptoms. He was feeling the symptoms after he took a hit late in the Michigan State game. He didn’t tell staff but did tell some friends.

Of course he had to come to BC to enjoy a major college football game. Who did BU have? They had bye and bye was a ten point favorite,
Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy reveals why he was wearing a Michigan State Jersey at Alumni Stadium for Boston College's game against the Spartans.

This is all on Leahy folks. He told the Dean of Students and BCPD he didn’t want any “spring break” scenes on campus. BC neutered the spring game, Hockey game and now marathon Monday. I had people tell me they were stopped from drinking coffee near their car on Saturday.

Heard also that BOB not happy with OC for second straight week. Last week BOB laughed about it. Not joviality or frivolity this week. He was passed. Basically took over play calling in the second half. Went with more power/jumbo running concepts. Seven OL-Man, motion…

2. The game was back and forth all game. Six lead changes. BC tied it late the win it in OT. The crowd went crazy. People high fiving and hugging. Total strangers embracing. It was wonderful, Reminding me again why I’m a BC fan and have been one since 1967.

4. As far as things happening today BOB was at the office early. In an organizational phase now. Hiring coaches and staff. Getting to know the roster. Same with recruiting. Things start for the players with a 7:00 am meeting Monday. They better be early I heard.

4. Feels like you need to make the players comfortable and relaxed. Having 320 linemen wearing cumbersome suits and tight dress shoes on six hour flights and the Eagle walk down stairs is ridiculous. Especially in warm weather. This is an NFL way of doing things. The new way BC.

He’s worked at the highest levels of pro sports for decades. He gets things done. He likes to be behind the scenes but he’s go getter and gets results. AKA Larry Lucchino. Nothing at BC will scare him. He wants it done it’s done.💪💪💪

No rancor. No finger pointing. Just a discussion to identify a problem and fix it. Haven’t heard this but Ernie Adams might be helpful here as well. BOB looks like he has things under control. This is why it’s important to have a head coach with experience and a veteran staff.

Fans have every right to complain about the disgraceful product BC is putting out. They charge high prices for parking and tix. Then the roll out a putrid entity. Not even competitive. No hope. What are fans suppose to do? Worst is administration doesn’t care. I’m done.
It always amazes me that comments from "BC fans," like we see here, believe that they are helping the program
All these comments do is turn positive feelings of recruits into "why would I want to go there."
You are no better than the fans that heckle recruits at games
Pls STOP!

2. He’s also been in touch with and has been helping the Gaudreau family in a number of ways. He’s made himself available to counsel and listen to family members, former teammates and friends. Also is the conduit from BC for numerous things.
39
9,465
I especially mention Berj. He is something that we have never had in sports management ever at BC. He was a key administrator/liaison and power broker for the greatest dynasty in NFL history. He was Belichick’s right hand man as well as a key person for Robert Kraft.

Heard from someone who heard Coach Coughlin’s speech. Spoke for 20 minutes. Spoke to the team as if he was speaking to his own team. Told the team that. Also told them he wanted their complete attention and focus. No day dreaming or slouching. Players were mesmerized.

2. But we all first must realize the joy that this team gave us all year. It was special. They didn’t win it all but they gave us a hell of an effort and lots of great thrills. I think it’s important for all of us to be disappointed but also enjoy ride we had and move on.
