Boston College Conference USA Football Schedule-A-Team: North Texas Mean Green
All-Time History With Boston College: None
Last Faced: Not applicable
Travel (if necessary): Assuming we can find our way to Dallas, we can find our way there, but it’s a bit of a hike at three-plus hours by plane.
Mutual Interest Factor: None in any sport, much less football.
Intrigue Factor: Only if the Mean Green can arrange a photo op for the team with Mean Joe Greene.
The Verdict: Would schedule at home for a one-off, to which North Texas will never agree; could be persuaded to agree to a “neutral” site game at Cowboys Stadium, which probably is not worth anybody’s time to arrange.
Yeah this ain’t gonna happen.

Boston College Conference USA Football Schedule-A-Team: Old Dominion Monarchs
All-Time History With Boston College: None
Last Faced: Not applicable
Travel (if necessary): Two hours or so by plane down to the Hampton Roads area.
Mutual Interest Factor: Hard to imagine, given that ODU literally just got to FBS football.
Intrigue Factor: None as yet.
The Verdict: Would schedule for a one-off at home; could be persuaded to take a swing at a road game because of their location in ACC territory.
In some distant future season, this would actually be an agreeable place to schedule a road football game, maybe in Week 1 of the season, which typically falls in late August. Get some sun at Virginia Beach and then watch Boston College football.
Since Brad Bates and Steve Addazio do not craft their schedule based upon my desired travel plans, I am not counting on it, but since they are not that far away all things considered, we may see a home game with them in a distant future.
