It’s the inaugural 4AD TBT, and we have a doozy. Back in September 2015, BC was coming off a hard-fought, 14-0 defeat to #9 Florida State. Our starting
QB had just been diagnosed with a season-ending broken ankle. Times were tough
in Chestnut Hill. Enter 8-year-old Chase Herbstreit.
Chase apparently was riding a 3-game upset prediction streak (the
week before he picked Ole Miss over Bama, which is actually pretty legit). He parlayed
that into a SportCenter appearance – unclear why Chase wasn't in school learning PEMDAS that day, or why they wasted an interview with
Lindsay Czarniak on someone that didn't like girls yet. Or why an 8-year-old is promoting illegal gambling. But Chase decided he would take the NIU Huskies over BC in
Week 4. Now, it would be one thing if he had thought it through and said “You
know what Lindsay, the Eagles currently have three healthy QBs on their roster,
all of which are walk-ons or will be deemed to suck badly enough that they will be converted into wide receivers a year from
now, I think NIU has a real shot here.” Instead, he very pompously concluded that because
NIU didn’t get blown out by Ohio State (Kirk’s alma mater) the week before, NIU
must be the real deal.
If there is one thing Daz excels at, it’s firing up his
dudes. You can bet your ass that this little charade poked the bear, and awoke
at least one side of the locker room. The #1 defense in the country put on a
clinic, letting up a total of 81 passing yards and 72 rushing yards, to allow the
#128 offense in the country to eke out a 3-point victory.
Tell you what, it would be great to blow these guys out
tomorrow. To assert dominance on both sides of the ball, and for D-Wade and the offense to
single-handedly cover the 52-point O/U (absurd by the way, bet the mortgage on
the under). But just in case, Chase – if you have any bulletin board material
for this year’s matchup, pass it along, pal.
If Chase did one thing to redeem himself, it was big-timing the shit out of his dad's high five attempt. Hey Kirk, why don't you go commit more tax fraud? People don't forget.
