The streak is over. Now where do they go from here?
No, not the Cubbies -- Boston College, which didn’t have quite the run of futility as the Chicago Cubs, but snapped an ACC losing streak that spanned two seasons (and two sports) this past week.
On the 700th day since the Eagles’ last ACC win, a fourth-quarter halfback pass and desperation goal-line stand beat NC State 21-14 and ended a 12-game conference losing streak in football. The men’s basketball team was winless in the ACC last season, too, making for a 31-game losing streak in the Eagles’ revenue sports.
