Thanks to the fans who showed up Saturday at CUA. I think for the fifth straight time the visiting Eagles outnumbered the CUA fans on our DC trip. It is great to have a home-field advantage on the road. Although I feel we developed into a Playoff level team that is not in the Playoffs, I have asked the Senior group to not be defined by two close but brutal losses. Their story is the energy and guts it took to hold together after the 35-34 setback to W & L and the ability they showed to refocus and continue to play hard. It is true we are two plays away from being undefeated, but no BC player, coach, or fan should ever apologize for being 8-2 in 2010. These kids were winners (CASE CLOSED).
The two greatest moments of the game were not record setting completions by a QB or catches by a WR, but a catch in the last drive by Joel Gast and a seven yard run to end the game by Michael Ward (who is a LB). These two Seniors are team guys who only could be finishers at the Division III level. Their selflessness in the support roles they played on and off the field during their four years are now etched in a stat book that will last forever. The one catch or one run on a stat sheet represents much more for these two and our program. I am thankful to coach kids who play hard and assign value to football in their lives. These lessons learned transfer beyond the field and therein lies their real value.
