First and Baldwin: The Boston College Story

[tobin834]

But first..

After a few years with Coach Tom Wetzel and the Hawai'i Warriors, I've decided to jump into another journal for a few reasons. Yes, I was having fun with Hawai'i but it always felt like something I could have done better. By the time I got to the point I was doing better we were a few seasons in. I used my time with both Hawai'i and Kent State to really focus on how I wanted to present my football journals. I believe the presentation of each sport should slightly change in approach, but I never really could nail my format for football as I did with my baseball journal I'm currently doing (Shameless plug).

With this in mind I've decided to start a new journal. I want to use everything I've learned from format, recruiting rules, sliders, etc. to produce the best journal I can. This is sort of half the game for me, and I'd like to really focus on doing it right.

With that said, the following recruiting rules will follow:

1 star school: 1 star players from anywhere. 2 star IN STATE players only.
1.5 star school: 1 star players from anywhere. 2 star IN PIPELINE players only.
2 star school: 2 star players from anywhere. 3 star IN STATE players only.
2.5 star school: 2 star players from anywhere. 3 star IN PIPELINE players only.
3 star school: 3 star players from anywhere. 4 star IN STATE players only.
3.5 star school: 3 star players from anywhere. 4 star IN PIPLINE players only.
4 star school: 4 star players from anywhere. 5 star IN PIPELINE players only.
4.5 and 5 star school: Any players.

*Transfers are available to any team of any caliber.

(Boston College is currently a 3-star as we start this journal)

Brady Colson Becomes the 31st Eagles Head Coach


Chestnut Hill, MA - The Boston College Eagles have hired a new Head Football Coach today. Brady Colson, the Offensive Coordinator at UMass last season has been hired by the Boston College Eagles to lead the program.

Colson signed a 3-year deal with Boston College after 2-years with the Minutemen and producing an offensive line that was ranked 10th last season, leading a rushing game that produced better than any year in recent Boston College memory. Brady Colson is known as an Offensive Line -focused coach which is perfect for the Eagles who are looking to develop a tougher-nosed program under Colson.

“I'm coming in to return Boston College to the roots of what it was successful with once upon a time. Tough-nosed kids who work harder than the other team on the field – period. We're not interested in the NIL kids who want to come in and flash a few moves and ask for money. We want the kids who are tough, who are willing to rub some dirt on it. That's the team we want to build on both sides of the ball” said Colson at his Press Conference.

Colson also had offers to be the Head Coach of Buffalo, Toledo and an Offensive Coordinator position at Penn State before ultimately accepting to become the Head Coach of Boston College.

"I chose BC because I think this program has unbelievable potential. I'm proud of the work we've done at UMass and I'm really looking forward to what we can do here in Boston College. The ACC is a tough conference and we're going to have our work cut out for us, but we're ready for the job - we always will be" said Colson.

The Eagles will look to continue the momentum from a 7-5 record.

BC has some cool history. Back in 2005 they came to Boise ranked #19 with Matt Ryan at QB and beat Boise State on "The Blue" snapping a 31 game home winning streak in the MPC bowl now known as the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

[tobin834]

Hey Deuce thanks for checking out the new journal! I go back to like 92 or 93 when they beat Notre Dame and upset the then #1 ranked Irish who just came off a win over Florida State the weekend before in what was then called the game of the century or something like that. I remember hoping BC won that game so badly, liked their helmets and presentation for no real reason. It's not that great haha, but I like it. Hoping this one will be much better with more in-depth coverage of the team etc.
