Aidan Birr’s last-second field goal sealed a memorable win for the Yellow Jackets.
Gavan Casey JUST OVER TWO decades ago, the great Adam Schlesinger took the piss out of his fellow songwriters the world over when he reverse-engineered a power-pop masterpiece from the most well-worn cliché in American sports commentary.
Some things shouldn’t really go together but just work. Fountains of Wayne made popcorn and chocolate out of power-pop melody and sportswriting prose. Prendergast worked the Irish side. O’Brien rallied his alma mater. Two years later, Boston College met the Army in front of over 42,000 fans at Lansdowne Road as part of a promotional campaign to mark Dublin’s millennium celebrations. It was the first ever college football game to take place outside of the USA.
College GameDay, one of the American sports network’s flagship programmes, typically sets up for the day at a university campus somewhere across the Atlantic from where its panel will discuss multiple fixtures throughout its broadcast. Today, however, ESPN pitched up for the first time outside Trinity College where legendary American football coach Nick Saban joined the panel for the first time.
A few cobbles up along, a costume stall encouraged that you ‘Leprechaun Yourself’. In fairness to our guests, business was exceptionally slow. Shanahan might have been thinking the same thing when he took his first long snap with 1:20 left in the first quarter and sliced his clearing kick horribly off his left boot.
