Baseball Sweeps BC this weekend after scoring 48 runs in 3 games(or something close)...... 12-3 in ACC and #4 nationally this week!!!!!
Nice win. If we can somehow take care of Cuse and ND, we win the ACC.
Crazy. It's also not happening.

Was our faceoff game better today than against Duke? Or did we kinda just play all around better?
And great work Diamond Heels! Really playing damn well right now.
We killed them on FOs today. Something like 25-6. We shot better too.
This team plays better away from Fetzwr, which gives us a glimmer of hope as next week is @ Kenan and the following week in South Bend.
Has anyone seen Boston College's baseball "stadium" (I use the term very loosely)? Other than the infield grass, it bears a close resemblance to the stadium where I played Little League baseball in Podunk, KY. Seating capacity is about 50 people. WTH?
Hahaha oh man that's something right there. Sure that isn't just a practice field? Tell me that's a practice field.
The ramp all those people are standing on to the left of the shot leads to the football stadium. Apparently the parking deck underneath is the seating venue of choice haha.
Sorry, I had never heard about/seen this until this weekend's game so had to share.

Game day:
I'm truly astonished by this. My hometown city park would give that a run for its money.
BC's link to Notre Dame is the only reason they're in the conference. But hey, at least they field a baseball team. Looking at you, Syracuse...
I'd like to see the ACC -- with the onset of the ACC Network soon -- mandate all schools make an effort to start fielding teams for all ACC sports.

Speaking of the ACC network, what do you guys think about the digital network so far? I know @TarHeelNation11 has used it and I think @Raising Heel has used it as well. I've only watched baseball games on it, but I think the production value is pretty good and there isn't much difference between the digital network and games that are on regular TV in my opinion.
I. Love. It.
It means more coverage of non-revenue/Olympic UNC sports and I can watch on my TV instead of a laptop or phone. The production value is surprisingly adequate considering baseball games on GoHeels.com the last few years had no game status on the screen -- pitch count, outs, innings, etc. -- other than maybe the score IIRC.
ETA: Can someone clarify what the upgrade will be when the ACC moves to a "Network" instead of the current "Digital Network?" Because we're already getting a huge menu of events and HD quality broadcasts.
You lost me. How are you getting it on your TV? To my understanding, ACC Network is only online right now.
Roku, my friend. I can watch either via the SlingTV app (which has an ACCDN channel) or the ESPN3 app.
Oh, and maybe you answered my question. An ACC Network would be available to cable subscribers i.e. watchable on their TVs. Since I've cut the cord I've basically already got it.
All the Roku / SlingTV app are doing is converting ACC Digital Network "broadcast" to a channel, for you.
It exists as an online-only entity right now. I'm 99% sure on this. In 2019 or whenever, it will convert to an actual TV channel a la SEC Network.
Right. You've got it, but really you've got it as an online stream like everyone else. Though it's online only like ESPN3, unlike ESPN3, there's only one ACC Network production on at a time. You saw it a lot during basketball season.
I guess that's why SlingTV is able to present it as a "channel." It's not like ESPN3 where there's like 30 games running concurrently.
Don't make G7 angry. You won't like him when he's angry.
All my content is streaming, though. There's no discernible difference for me as the end user which is awesome.
That's incorrect. Sling provides the exact same ACCDN content as ESPN3. If I select the ACCDN on Sling, it takes me into a sub-menu that has dozens of events listed. On a busy weekend there might be 6-8 live events available at any given time.
Well, I guess you can't expect them to have a really nice baseball stadium/field - when they use it as a f'ing parking lot for tailgating during football games. This is Shea Field (the BC baseball field) during football season (the cars are parked on the outfield, at least they have the common sense to keep the diamond, off camera to the left, clear of cars) - with hundreds of cars driving all over it as their main tailgating parking lot. I've tailgated there, and I was dumbfounded when I realized we were on their varsity baseball field. Can you imagine if they allowed hundreds of cars to just go driving over Boshamer Stadium?
What a disgrace those clowns are.
Top level of the parking deck would be a pretty good view of the baseball game..... Guess that answers why games couldn't be shown on ACC Network because no cable hookups!!!!
That's pretty sad for a D! baseball complex. But it is Boston. They don't give a crap about any BC sports so I guess they are lucky to have a team. Meanwhile the baseball Heels, along with Clemson and Louisville are running rough shot on everyone.
Staying on the subject of baseball, North Carolina plays South Carolina tomorrow night at BB&T Ballpark in Charlotte, home of the Triple-A Knights (White Sox affiliate). The weather is going to be perfect and it's a beautiful stadium that's only been open for 3 years. Some friends and I had partial-season tickets the year after it opened but we haven't kept those up.
Anyway, the 356 different college baseball polls all have UNC ranked either 4th or 5th while USCjr is ranked anywhere from 11th to 17th. Chad Holbrook, the coach of the Gamecocks, is a former UNC player, coach, and alumnus for those who don't know. Should be a fun game. I'll be there eating BBQ nachos and sipping on IPAs like a hipster.

You're making me want to kick your ass right now!
I wanna kick my own ass. It's miserable.
You brought this upon yourself, which is why it's kinda messed up that the rest of us have to suffer too.
Right, because I was the only one who thought we zero chance to win a natty after the ACCT loss. We couldn't even beat out meat on the road all season.
It's costing him likes. I think I'm subconsciously wired to read poasts in a disagreeable mood when I see Moe.
100% true. Every time I see one of his poasts I wonder what the fuk Gary is doing here.
Yeah, you pretty much were the only one who thought we had ZERO chance.
Plenty of people didn't think it looked good though.
Small but important difference.
In The Poast, I said I would subject myself to any punishment, be it avatar change, temporary or permanent ban from discussing basketball on OOTB, etc. Y'all ran with the avatar thing.
Look here, don't be gettin an attitude. I've had just about enough of you, ga .... I mean THN.
