This is going to be a tough week for BC fans. (I guess they’ve all been, lately.) Gone is the excitement and buzz surrounding the opener, traveling to Ireland, and playing in a winnable ACC game. It’s replaced with the doom and gloom of a loss that should have been a win, combined with the highly unsexy business of having to move on to facing an in-state opponent BC is heavily favored against.
This is pretty much a no-win situation: either BC wins as all would expect them to do, exciting nobody and doing nothing to allay concerns about the team’s ability to compete in the league; or BC loses or even narrowly wins, which would be fairly disastrous.
