Few people mean more to Boston College athletics than Barry Gallup. In almost 40 years as a football player, coach and administrator, he's become an institution within the Eagles establishment, a man whose blood runs thick with Maroon and Gold. As the Senior Associate Athletics Director of Football and Alumni Relations, he remains a fixture with a presence as reassuring as his kind glances and firm handshakes.
So it makes perfect sense to make rallying around him as much a part of BC's fabric as the teams he supports.
On Wednesday, Boston College student-athletes, coaches and staff members participated in the Cycle for Survival in memory of Lisa Gallup '09.
