We're also 10 years removed from the PSA where he oh-so-dreamily turned around in the director's chair. That used to be something to cheer for during half time.

THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED: FENWAY PARK & FOOTBALL

"The greatest game easily, of course, was the Georgetown-Boston College game. No less an authority than Grantland Rice called it the Greatest Game Ever Played and the Biggest Up-set, - but why go on."
~Remarks of Senator John F. Kennedy at Boston College, Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, February 1, 1953In honor of Fenway's 100, just want to remind all of our favorite team of destiny of all time.

HAPPY: BRENT MUSBURGER CHANNELS NOVEMBER 1984 ENDING
Posted by

There's a fairly healthy list of contributors to the media world who carry a connection to Chestnut Hill - and not all of them are involved in sports. The legend of Chris O'Donnell, breakout star Amy Poehler and even on MSNBC you can find guys like Luke Russert. Perhaps on the back of this, it seems that BC has had a pretty decent run over the past years as fodder for pop culture. A few seasons back, it was a the backdrop of college tours on Friday Night Lights, even further back, the school was where Freddie Prinze, Jr. ditched before hitting the Cape Cod summer league.
Within the span of the last 48 hours, or so, BC has made glorious appearances in two shows. The first mention, from Daily Show contributor John Hodgman on Tuesday, was a bit of a farcical gesture but slight backhanded praise. The much, much more amazing one: last night on ABC's sophomore sitcom, Happy Endings, guest star Brent Musburger channeled his iconic 1984 play-by-play of a certain moment of Boston College sports folklore - offering The Hail Mary (and of course, Miami's soft defense) as a metaphor for relationships.
Caught by Boston College, I don't believe it.
Let's hope we're adding one more to the history of Happy Endings tonight against Florida State.
