Very true. And the city itself was beginning to improve at about that time. (Some have pointed out that Northeastern and Boston University really started improving in terms of reputation and selectivity a few years later and neither had Flutie) I suspect BC would have followed a very similar trajectory from the late 70's thru today even if Doug had attended his initial first choice (Harvard). Bingo. BU and NU dropped football and rose in esteem. So there is no magic bullet and FCS football can't carry the whole international reputation of an institution on it's back. But did anyone ever hear about Incarnate Word before the started playing football?!

Few beyond FCS football followers like us. If HC was like Fairfield without a football team or WPI with D-3 football or BC with FBS football would articles, polls and tournament pairings that include IW be posted and discussed?

I love watching Matt Sluka lead our Crusaders to wins-he is a great football player. However I'd guess that he has very low awareness across the country among members of the general public. I would say low awareness in New England for him

I've hopped on the "shunning" bus due to antipathy.

C'mon, foley, don't stop there, when you could have posted "Worcester," not the larger "New England." You've lost your fast ball.

The people that need to know about Matt Sluka know.
That's all that matters.

Some good news for @colgatefb over the weekend... Preseason All-League selection OL Bardhyl Gashi has another season of eligibility remaining, and intends to use it. He will not be a 2024 draft entrant
