FLUSH....

That is the sound of BC's hopes for a shot at the national championship after last night's 27-17 loss to Florida State. At least the Matty Ice (he looked more like Natty Ice) talk can end. Ryan should end up as a Heisman finalist but the trophy will be going to Oregon's Dennis Dixon. BC can still win the ACC Atlantic Division -- they have a one-game lead with three to play -- and if they make the ACC Championship Game, they can do no worse than the Gator Bowl with a trip to the Orange Bowl still a reality. Last night should be a kick in the ass for Jeff Jagodzinski. As much as I love to see local talent shine at BC, he needs to go into Florida and get recruits with speed. I believe BC is a better football team than FSU but the speed of the Seminoles was too much for the lead-footed Eagles to handle. If BC wants to be a player nationally, they have to get faster. It could be worse. At least BC didn't lose to Navy yesterday. I wonder who Notre Dame will turn to after they can Charlie Weis like Tuna? Think Charlie will return to the Pats? ND is 1-8!
