That BC fan is a clueless a$$hole. Weils Crowther deserves every honor he gets, but so does every other 9-11 victim. And they deserve it on 9-11, which is a national day remembrance, not a BC day of remembrance.
Apparently only BCU is allowed to honor 911 victims.

Pretty cool drone show last night




Drones were recently used to create lifesize Titanic that left its berth for the sea - quite haunting image at night.

I just watched a 9-11 survicor from UK describe her experience. I've seen a lot of these amazing stories but hers was very vivid and compelling. Her friends in UK told her to "get out" because from TV they knew better what was going on than she did. She actually made it out of tower 2 but at bottom an announcement told them to go back to their offices because "it was safe" and they neded the plaza space for others. "Americans do death really well" she said after going to so many funerals

Another one of those “things” about 9/11, is the guys and their families didn’t get the usual Line of Duty funeral experience.

There were so many, so often dry cleaners were doing our uniforms for free.

BC did parade the Crowther family out onto the field 3 or 4 times yesterday. Didn't hear any mention of the 37 Rutgers Alumni. Then again, there were thousands of us fans stuck in line during all the pregame pomp & circumstance. And of course the BCU students chanting F YOU RUTGERS early & often, even when we had an injury on the field. Really great way to make the other 9/11 team feel respected. If we do anything well, our stadium entry is done well, and our fans ability to respect an injured player is up there too.

It was interesting seeing the crowd shots during the game. BC has to be the whitest school behind BYU

Iowa doing Iowa things. Late FG to take the lead 16-13. Some coaches just know how to win the close ones.
