Too many guys on here still have the mindset that it's late 90's.Look, this was a mediocre win against a bad team without their two best players in a bad bowl game.
But it was a win. Much better than what we’ve seen.
The Pinstripe Bowl actually turned out to be a very good bowl game and not a bad bowl game. A week in NYC? Playing football in Yankee Stadium? The players were all excited about playing in NYC, especially the local kids. The team made the Pinstripe Bowl a big deal and celebrated that victory like they should. As fans, we should do the same thing. That's really what athletics are all about. We had young kids step up. Huge boost of positive energy and confidence going into the off season.
And it wasn't a mediocre win. The field conditions weren't conducive for a high scoring affair. Boston College is well coached and wouldn't quit. Give them credit for making great plays like that blocked punt. All in all, a very good win for the team and the team celebrated it appropriately.
