[shaft]

Haven’t seen this projected before

That would be fun. I haven't read a single thing about BC this season. 

[emmitt01]

Where do I sign?

[BTG_Fan1]

Well is Barstool Sports big BC supporters, or is just a BC stool account? If they are big BC fans, it could be a nice bit of coverage..

Also, really like the UAB/Memphis match up @UAB. Would be a huge crowd and hopefully another solid W

[Mean Green 93-98]

Probably the most interesting matchup I've seen projected yet.

[bstnsportsfan3]

I’d love to play BC. Would be a fun game. 

[97and03]

Will Doug Flutie do a flyover? 

[greenjoe]

Another example of why our mascot is an eagle and our nickname is Mean Green.  I'd love playing BC December 27.

Beat Rice.

GO MEAN GREEN

[oldguystudent]

Just glancing at what they've done this year, they would definitely be a challenging opponent.  Strong running game (eeep!), strong defense (meh, check THIS out!). 

Presently, we'd be about a 14-point dog at a neutral site.

That would be a fantastic slot/opponent for UNT to land in the bowl season

[MrStrange18]

I'm hoping for the Independence Bowl, but Boston College? Not sure how hyped they'd be to play there/would their fans travel well for it?

I think UNT's fans would travel well.  NOt sure about BC, but would still take it.  Great opportunity for UNT.

[RBP79]

I'm in.....nice to play someone out of the ordinary.

What is that based on? USAToday and RealtimeRPI both have us slightly ahead of them:

I was looking at Sagarin, which for all its faults, has been pretty good about tying out to Vegas odds for me.

At least maybe a photo opp to hand the reins over to Mason

 

[keith]

Yes please. Yes, Yes, Yes.  If we get a matchup like this, the entire Mean Green Nation needs to travel en masse.   We did well during our NO Bowl years and great at the HoD bowls, but we need to start building a reputation as a fanbase that travels well outside of the Metroplex.   

[Stix]

We'd have to out-Eagle them.

[Got5onIt]

NT will finally get another chance to golden shower the golden eagles during a bowl game. Failed twice against SouthernMiss.....

BC is technically just the eagles. 

[MDH]

I work for Fidelity, a lot of my colleagues went to BC - I'd love this.

[PlummMeanGreen]

👍👍

At Louisiana's State Fair (all aluminum) stadium I once watched the late, great Mean Green defensive lineman Walter Chapman knock a football loose(lose) from a La Tech RB who from the 5 yard line was fixin' to score the winning touchdown in the closing seconds of the game. We recovered.  MEAN GREEN WIN!  (1'st & only time we played in that venue).

Only a 5 hour drive from my ranchero. 

GMG!

I like this match up. This is a team we could exploit. This is also a team that would run the football on us at will. Army 11/18 2.0.
