BOSTON COLLEGE 2025 - 2026

I would think that after the national championship game appearance GB got a new 5 year deal. With BC needing to fire Earl Grant, bring in a new President, there is no way GB is going anywhere soon. He would need back to back losing seasons to get fired.

That's the problem, the bar is set so low at this school. It's like you get a certificate for participation instead of the real trophy.

Oh there's bigger fish to fry for sure. Grant is #1, his presser this week about rebuilding the program was patently absurd. Even Katie King Crowley lost today at home in the HE tournament and needs to go before Greg Clown (but they are close, and she also went to a national title game). Women's basketball lost 20 games in a row and is 5-25.

BOB doesn't inspire confidence at this point but he's safer than Greg Clown as he at least has shown he can win as a head coach somewhere. Clown isn't going anywhere and is going to be in Umile territory as he holds this program hostage for a long time. He could set this program back a few decades.

The entire athletic department needs to be nuked into oblivion.

There are no great teams in college hockey. BC has the talent to put together a run. Emotions and momentum change week to week. They have a very good power play. Having M Hagens back on defense is a plus in getting the transition game going. Having Gasseau and Jevlik back should give them two very good scoring lines. Let’s hope it comes together starting on Thursday. UMass (I wanted BC to hire Greg Carvel) is coming on strong. They are very well coached. BC could very well see a tough Merrimack team in the first round of the HEA playoffs. BU is another 1st round potential opponent.


Go Eagles!

Starts at the top, when Leahy is replaced. Hopefully the new president will be better but we'll have to see if he will support athletics.

But I don't disagree about Brown. Not my first choice when he was hired. Crowley probably needs to be replaced too. What has she done lately after having many good teams and not winning the big games when the talent was there.

The fact that so many of her best players transferred out was downright alarming and should have set off a lot of bells in the ADs office. Watts was one thing as she was somewhat mental but when the rest of them went to Ohio State it said a lot about the staff and the state of the program. There is no way to spin that in any way.

The difference between us and Notre Dame is they run it like a business. My friend invited a friend to a game one day and that was the comment she made as a ND grad and works in their adminastrative department. Any talk like this upstairs is like heresy. That's why BC is so out of touch in the way they do things. As an alum it feels so helpless. AJ Black can talk himself blue to his face about Grant and other things unless there's change at the top and a change with the trustees.
