My son and I have talked about how much regard we have for the players and coaches at Boston College. As prior posts suggest, the combination of the Boston weather and high cost has to create quite a challenge. However, any of their opponents will tell you that they come into a series with them with a great deal of respect.
An anecdote about the weather: In my son's senior year, we traveled to Boston for a weekend series beginning on April 5th only to find that the first day's game was snowed out. It was so cold a couple of days later that our relief pitchers used some discarded plywood behind the outfield wall (where both bullpens are located) and built a lean-to to shield them from the strong wind.
Separately, infielddad, I thought your post about USF was terrific! I've watched with interest as they've consistently developed an excellent pitching staff.
For the record, UNC has had two starting pitchers drafted in the first round since 2007: Alex White as the Rockies' 15th pick in 2009 and Matt Harvey, as the 7th pick by the Mets in 2010.
