The football Eagles at “the heights” are soaring to heights that they have not seen since a young man named Doug Flutie was at the helm. It is now several decades later. Doug has retired from football. There is now a Bowl Championship Series that did not exist back then. And the 7-0 Boston College Eagles, with their best start since 1942 (and only the 5th 7-0 start in their history), find themselves at number 3 in the BCS rankings. They are also number 3 in the AP poll (for the first time in 65 years).
Will it last? Who knows? Until we find out…
For Boston for Boston, we sing our proud refrain for Boston for Boston ’tis wisdom’s earthly fame
for here are all one and our hearts are true and the towers on the heights reach the heavens own blue.
for Boston for Boston ’til the echoes ring again!
