I grew up 2 miles from that campus I know BC football well enough despite always being a Syracuse fan. I can tell you where to park 5 minutes walk and not get towed.
They never get selected for big bowl games because there aren't usually a lot of fans. Whats the last really good bowl they went to. Its always empty for those games wherever they play.
The rain game 2 years ago we had more fans than them at their place.
They are having a nice season and filled the place for the once every 12 year visit of Miami and undefeated Clemson. For a non big name opponent I honestly think we put a few more bodies in the Dome than they put in Alumni these days.
The Clemson game hasn't even gotten on the front page of the Globe sports section all week its that off the radar. Credit them for selling it out of course. If they were playing Ville this Friday they wouldn't crack 20k actual butts in seats.
Thats the Lville highlights. Go to the 1:56 mark of that video and see the upper ends totally empty sideline uppers 80% empty. Won't look like that in the Dome Friday.
Just find it odd to say another team doesn't travel well as a selling point for a bowl to pick us over them when I'm not sure the difference is any more than negligible.
