Northwestern at Boston College
A social media recap of Northwestern's 24-17 win at Boston College on Sept. 3, 2011
- Twitter chatter early this morning has been dominated by pure, unadulterated excitement. Whether fans were in Boston headed to the stadium, preparing to head to a bar to watch with fellow fans or simply just waking up...lots of "Go 'Cats" activity.
On the T to BC in my purple Persa jersey. And I'm not the only one. Two hours til kickoff. Go Cats. #NUvsBC #Northwestern- Around 9:15 a.m. CT, ESPN's College Gameday via Rob Stone broke the news that Dan Persa is out for today's game and Kain Colter will get the start. Immediately, the twitter-verse shifted focus.
You can get live in-game tweets today here: @NU_SportsLIVE. First news of the day: #PersaStrong is out, Kain Colter will start. #NUvsBC
Just listened to the @NU_Sports fight song to get pumped for this #NUvsBC game. Might not have #PersaStrong, but we can still do this.
#PersaOut? No problem. #ColterShouldBeAMuchImprovedPasserComparedToLastSeason. Also, failing that, #ColterFast. Go 'Cats! #NUvsBC
This should remind everyone what a backup quarterback can do for #Northwestern: t.co/N2USsEJ Kickoff in 30 minutes! #NUvsBC
#KainColter...that is a fantastic name, kid was born to be a start for #Northwestern- And finally, one of the most anticipated Northwestern season-openers in a while is ready to begin!!
Persa runs out onto the field at BC with #Northwestern's 3 other capts. But Persa is the only one in street clothes.
TD saving tackle by #Northwestern .. That is why you never quit on a play. #BC is making my pick look good right now..- Boston College leads, 3-0, with 12:49 to go in the first quarter
