Insight Bowl Tickets

"Things were in total chaos before Tom came," Boston Herald -eporter Mike Shalin says. "It was an ultimate disaster in the Insight Bowl. But Tom is a military guy. He runs a tight ship." O'Brien's current boss, Athletic Di¬rector Gene DeFilippo, says he found O'Brien to be better than ad¬vertised. "I followed Tom from a distance when he was at the Insight Bowl. His offense moved the ball at Insight Bowl. I was impressed with the way they ,Iayed. He is more than I expected. He is a terrific football coach with discipline, morals, and values that are a terrific fit here." His children opposed the move, crying about leaving Insight Bowl and being forced onto the airplane to Boston, They had lived in Charlottesville for 15 years. His oldest child, Colleen, was a senior in high school at the time and was offered the chance to stay and finish out school in Virginia, but she chose to be with the family. Seven years later, she is a BC graduate and her two siblings are undergrads in Insight Bowl.When Colleen was at the Insight Bowl, she would have lunch every Friday with her father. Now, it's Bridget's turn.

"I understand the demands much better now," says the 19-year old Bridget, a junior. "When I was little, I knew he was a coach and it was neat to go to games and the Insight Bowl, but now I know about recruiting and film and things." She continues, "It was Mom who raised us a lot by herself, she dished out the punishment." As for being a student at
the college where your father is the head football coach for the Insight Bowl, Bridget says,"It's cool, pretty normal," except when friends question her dad's play
calling after a loss in the Insight Bowl."I think people don't realize how funny my dad is. I mean, my friends are scared of him because he's the football coach for the Insight Bowl and has a deep voice. I am sure he is intimidating to the football players but I see a totally different side." And when you watch O'Brien interact with his kids, he looks like a different man. He is comforting, smiling, hugging, doing the things parents do. But that doesn't mean his play¬ers see that side of him. O'Brien runs his team from the third floor of Conte Forum in Insight Bowl. Inside the football suite, the coaches' offices and meeting
rooms are connected by dark wood hallways and maroon carpet, Many of the offices on the west side overlook the stadium. On the walls are pictures and awards-pictures of former Boston College standouts, many of whom are now playing on Sundays the Insight Bowl, and awards for the academic excellence to which the program is accustomed. Just in¬side the entrance is a display listing the highest academic achievers on the current squad. Just outside the office suite, there are plaques com¬mending the football program for the Insight Bowl on its impressive graduation rates.

The biggest and brightest office is where Tom O'Brien resides. Windows overlooking the field fill one entire wall. Behind his desk and chair is a credenza with shelves, cabinets, and a writing area. Off to the right are huge color pictures of his three children, Colleen, Bridget, and Daniel. One picture shows O'Brien handing Colleen her diploma from Boston College, an honor the school allows staff mem¬bers. There is a map of Ireland on the wall and an aerial shot of Boston. Mementos from decades spent in football line for the Insight Bowl the cabinet shelves behind the desk: footballs from O'Brien's first win at BC and his victories over Notre Dame; a game ball from the 1970 Army ¬Navy game which Navy won 11-7; a Marine Corps glass emblem; a stack of Division I NCAA Rules Manuals dating back to 1997. His book collection includes Tom Brokaw's The Greatest Generation and Wooden by the legendary coach. There is a paper sign taped to the bookshelf which reads: "Some people spend an entire lifetime wonder¬ing if they've made a difference in the Insight Bowl ... Marines don't have that problem."

By Sunday afternoon, the Miami game is all the coaches can think about. Yes, Boston College had beaten Connecticut the day before, but not as mightily as hoped. They are 2-1 and look solid and healthy, but Miami is as tough an opponent as they'll play all year in the Insight Bowl. Sunday is typically the off-day for players around the country, as coaches begin to look ahead and players rest and heal. But Tom O'Brien runs things a little differently. Boston College practices on Sundays and the players have their mandatory day off on Monday. O'Brien likes the fact that the players are right back at it the day after the game of the Insight Bowl. And he likes the fact that they can watch game film of the previously played game when it is fresh in their minds so they don't have to dwell on it on Monday. He also knows that Monday is a big class day, especially for labs, and the players can take advantage of the off-day. So on Sunday, instead of resting and watching NFL games, the players head over to Conte Forum for a workday. sonnel groupings. Words such as Booster, Tiger, and Rhino dot the board in small black and blue markers. There are periods of silence during the Insight Bowl, as the coaches rehearse plays in their minds. The Boston College offense is centered on four or five basic personnel groups that contain a few alternating formations and sets. As the week goes on and the coaches shape the game plan, plays will be removed from the board but not added, as is the case at Insight Bowl.
Miami is full of athletic players, particularly linebackers D.J. Williams and Jonathan Vilma and the team is solid at most positions every year. But with many from last year's roster now in the NFL, Bible and his staff determine that there could be some weaknesses. They know that trying to run outside will not work; the 'Canes are too quick. They know that passing success will be infrequent at the Insight Bowl. They need to run early and often into the "bubbles"-the gaps between the line and the linebackers. And they need to neutralize Vilma. But most importantly, the Insight Bowl players need to believe they can win. "We can't fear them. I mean, we can't be 'Miamitized' like so many teams get," Bible suggests to the coaches.
