Tales from the Boston College Sideline : A Collection of the Greatest Eagles Stories Ever Told
Bok av Reid Oslin
Many people may not know that Boston Colleges most embarrassing football defeat may have saved the lives of hundreds of Eagles fans. They also may not know that Doug Flutie failed to see a wide-open receiver and instead heaved the ball to an apparently well-covered Gerard Phelan to complete the Miracle in Miami. The stories behind those little-known facts and many more are contained in Tales from the Boston College Sideline, an anecdotal history of Boston College football. Author Reid Oslin, who served as Boston Colleges sports information director for nearly a quarter of a century, has collected scores of stories about the many accomplishmentsand occasional downfallsof the Boston College Eagles. Material from the University Archives, dozens of personal interviews, and the authors own up-close recollections will make the newly revised Tales from the Boston College Sideline a valuable resourceas well as enjoyable historyfor any BC fan.
