Two Birds & a Turkey at BC

Posted by Kevin Walsh October 7, 2009 at 6:26 pm

Wait a minute a turkey is a bird, so doesn’t that make three?  BC Eagles, Virginia Tech Hokies–which for the college mascot challenged is a fighting gobbler, and a wild turkey wandering around the parking lot outside BC’s Alumni Stadium.  I kid you not, I saw the foul wandering around and wondered if a Virginia Tech prankster planted it for fun.  “Nah,” said one of the assistant BC coaches.  “There are lots of wild turkeys around here.”

Fair enough, but it made for a good visual so I took a picture of it.  I don’t know if the turkey is a good omen for the Eagles, but I do know they’re on a roll.  They’ve won their last two against pretty good opponents in Wake Forest and Florida State.   But don’t gobble up all the stuffing just yet.  Both Wake and Florida State feasted on BC’s D in the second half.   The Wake game went to OT and BC lost an 18-point lead before scoring late in the 4th to put it away.  “We got a little too comfortable, and anytime you get a little comfortable that’s not a good thing,” middle linebacker and Defensive Captain Mike McLaughlin says,  “I just think we got to keep the pressure on and keep that intensity throughout the game.”

They’ll need to.  Virginia Tech is ranked 5th nationally and has one heckuva quarterback in Tyrod Taylor who passed for two touchdowns and a career high 327 yards last week.  Virginia Tech has won 11 straight at home, although BC beat them last time in Blacksburg, Va. back in 2007.   That’s when Matt Ryan was BC’s QB.
