ESPN3 Here To Remind You The Return Will Not Be Televised
On Thursday, the ACC released their full men’s basketball schedule for the 2010-11 season. Here are the highlights:
- BC opens the season at home against St. Francis NY, a team they handled easily last year 72-44.
- The Eagles will be on the ESPN family of networks nine times this season.
- This year’s Commonwealth Classic between BC and UMass will be played at the Garden on December 4.
- If you’re looking for a marquee non-conference opponent, Texas A&M is really it. The Aggies finished last year with a kenpom ranking of 17.
- BC will play five teams that finished 200+ in last year’s final kenpom rankings — Holy Cross (226), Bucknell (235), Yale (255), St. Francis (310) and Bryant (346)
- One-fourth of the Eagles’ 16 ACC games tip at 9 PM. That seems a bit much, no?

This weekend’s home opener against Weber State won’t be on TV, and has been relegated to the internets. ESPN3 is here to clear up the confusion on how you can watch the game.
ESPN3.com is the only place to watch Boston College vs. Weber State this Saturday, September 4 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
ESPN3.com will be broadcasting the game live from Alumni Stadium with complete coverage of the game from start to finish.
The network is available at no additional cost to fans who receive their high-speed Internet connection from an affiliated service provider, and is currently available in more than 53 million homes – a majority of U.S. broadband homes. For a full list, click here.
Clearly, you should be at the game to watch Mark Herzlich run out of the Alumni Stadium tunnel with his teammates. But if you can’t make it up to Chestnut Hill this weekend, your best bet is to either a) find a buddy who has ESPN3 or b) get to a bar that’s willing to show the game.
The BC game watch scene will probably be light this week considering the game is only on ESPN3. The BC Chicago Alumni chapter had some success last season showing the Wake Forest game that was broadcast online. I know other chapters have arranged for similar setups in the past.
If you miss the game online, you can catch the replay on Comcast SportsNet New England on Sunday night at 8:30 PM ET.
