message: I have proposed merging Frank Carney (football coach) into this article. It seems that there is nothing to say about him other that he was a coach for this team, and that's not enough to justify a standalone article. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The "Eagles" nickname for Boston College teams dates only from 1920, according to the football team's record book.. A search for "Boston College Eagles" on Newspapers.com shows nothing before 1922. The first printed reference to the name appears to be a May 1920 edition of The Heights, the student newspaper, which included an editorial bemoaning the college's lack of an athletic mascot and stating that an anonymous alumnus had written to the newspaper suggesting "Eagles".
Accordingly, today I'll be removing "Eagles" from all the Wikipedia articles and links on the navbox template for BC football teams from 1919 and prior. As the Heights article linked above asserts that the college didn't have a mascot at the time, there's no need to replace "Eagles" with anything. Articles will be moved from, e.g.,  to , following the example of, e.g., 1901 Dartmouth football team and 1905 Fordham football team. ``` t b w i l l i e ` $1.25 ` 02:31, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
