as a bc grad, i can promise you the alumni contingent will be beyond weak. bc fans dont travel well and, as mentioned, jacksonville is far away. i dunno if this is standard at other schools, but i got a voicemail on my cell and at my parents house recorded by matt ryan trying to get me to go to the game...or buying tickets and donating them to local boys and girls clubs (who i presume will be handed bc superfan shirts). so they are obviously worried about attendance.

i have a buddy that even played for bc and i saw him recently and he isnt even going to the game (said he chose the bowl game over the acc championship-which is legit with work and stuff i guess, but still).

point being, i have nothing to offer you about bc except a lack of fan presence.
