CHAPEL HILL - Jason Brown said he became a little too excited after North Carolina beat Miami last week. The senior talked about the Tar Heels winning all the rest of their games.

Boston College's 21-10 victory over Rutgers yesterday was the Eagles' sixth win, making them eligible for a bowl bid. It may even have put them in prime position for a New Year's Day game, even if they lose to West Virginia next week in Morgantown.

Syracuse wasn't able to follow Boston College to the Atlantic Coast Conference or stop the Eagles from leaving the Big East. The one thing the Orange could do was deprive BC of a spot in the Bowl Championship Series and a farewell Big East title.

BLACKSBURG The ACC didn&#39;t want these guys. Didn&#39;t want them in 1953, didn&#39;t want them two springs ago, didn&#39;t want them if even they said pretty please with a Hokie Bird on top.

Hosting Duke and North Carolina in the same week was an opportunity for Boston College to show it belonged among the Atlantic Coast Conference elite. Instead, losses to the Tobacco Road rivals dropped the Eagles from the top spot in the conference and proved that while they can play with the ACC's uberprograms, they are not one of them yet.

The time for redemption is at hand for the North Carolina State football team, and if the Wolfpack don&#39;t follow through, a once-promising season will end with the program&#39;s first losing record since 1996.

RALEIGH - Itâs about to strike midnight on North Carolina Stateâs football team unless it can deliver tonight. The Wolfpack is one loss away from elimination from bowl consideration when it plays its home finale against No.

The final minute began to tick away on Boston College's 37-24 win over North Carolina Thursday in the Continental Tire Bowl. The Eagles' fifth consecutive bowl victory was well in hand when a contingent of some 6,000 BC fans -- still vocal despite being outnumbered 10 to 1 by a legion of Tar Heel fans clad in ...

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- They have not come here to trumpet their arrival to the Atlantic Coast Conference. No, that will come next year when Boston College officially becomes the ACC's 12th member. Instead, the Eagles have arrived at Groves Stadium for today's nonconference game (on ESPN2) against Wake Forest, an ACC opponent next season, with a more urgent matter on ...

Maybe somebody at North Carolina was trying to be funny. When it comes time to schedule a homecoming opponent, there has to be a better option than Miami.

This topic of discussion is usually reserved for spring in Vermont. All week, there has been much ado about mud in Massachusetts. If ever there was an example of media gone amok, it has been the seemingly endless discussion of how mucked up the turf at Gillette Stadium would become after being left naked in the night, subjected to the ...

It is not as though they need any more reminders. It is not as though they are not aware of the consequences. Boston College has Rutgers and Mississippi State and, to an extent, Pittsburgh as prime examples of what can happen to a Division 1-A team on any given day against a Division 1-AA opponent.

Defeat can leave a bitter taste -- especially when it comes in the last game of the season. After losing last season's Foster-Hinman championship game, 33-18, to Brunswick, on the heels of a perfect ISL season, Middlesex was left to ponder that sour taste over the course of a long offseason.

North Carolina coach John Bunting never lost faith in his players, unabashedly supporting them even while their mistakes and poor play led to more losses.

It is all a matter of perspective. For Boston College, a trip to Disney World and Friday's Champs Sports Bowl against Michigan State had to be sold a different way. The Eagles, who have won seven straight bowl games - but none of them New Year's Day quality - had their sights set on the ACC title and an Orange ...
