Boston College Alumni Association - Phoenix Chapter

Gamewatch tomorrow in Scottsdale!

BC Football vs. Clemson
Saturday, October 11, 2025 @ 4:30 p.m. Arizona time
R.T. O'Sullivan's Sports Grill
7919 E. Thomas Road, Scottsdale [Please note we will meet at the Scottsdale location at the SW corner of Hayden and Thomas]

BC comes home to a sold-out Alumni Stadium looking to turn things around on the season with a win over Clemson. The Eagles will pin their hopes on sophomore quarterback Dylan Lonergan (nine touchdown passes and top-40 nationally in passing yards) and the possible return of several players who were injured and missed last week's ugly loss at Pitt. Clemson is 2-3 following a win over North Carolina last weekend.

Come join the BC Chapter to watch the game at R.T. O'Sullivan's in Scottsdale! Please note this gamewatch will be at the Scottsdale location of R.T. O'Sullivan's, and not the Phoenix location. R.T.'s will have the game on multiple TV screens with audio and will have food specials available for the late afternoon kickoff. As always, friends and family are always welcome and please let us know if you have any questions. Go Eagles!

Get your first look at the 2025 Eagles with us as we watch the season opener on Saturday!

BC football vs. Fordham
Saturday, August 30, 2025 @ 11 a.m. Arizona time
R.T. O'Sullivan's Sports Grill
7575 N. 16th Street, Phoenix

BC football kicks off the 2025 season with a home game against the Fordham Rams. The Eagles are led by second-year coach Bill O'Brien, the former head coach of Penn State and the NFL's Houston Texans and a long-time assistant with the New England Patriots under Bill Belichik. On the field the Eagles will look to new quarterback Dylan Lonergan, a transfer from Alabama, and senior wide receiver Lewis Bond, as well as a group of returnees in the defensive secondary, to lead the way. This matchup will be BC's 28th all-time game against Fordham, but its first in 71 years after the fellow Jesuit university dropped football for more than three decades.

Come join the BC Phoenix Chapter to watch this season-opening game at the new RT O'Sullivan's location in Phoenix. Most of you will remember the location as the old site of Gallaghers, where the chapter held gamewatches for many years. (Yes, it is kind confusing, so just make sure you go to the Phoenix location of RT O'Sullivan's on 16th Street between Glendale and Northern.) RTO's will have food and drink specials and this streaming-only game on multiple TVs with audio. As always, friends and family are welcome and please contact Jim Gruber '98 at [email protected] with any questions. Go Eagles!

Alumni from the Class of 1967 to 2022 (and everything in between) enjoyed a warm Arizona night on the patio at Camelback Inn last week for the annual Christmas Happy Hour. We welcomed some new friends and many familiar faces and especially enjoyed the return of Chapter Leader Emeritus Marty Ridge and his wife, Lynda. Merry Christmas to everyone!

Spend some of your Thanksgiving weekend with us, and let's see if BC can clinch a winning season and work its way up the bowl pecking order!

BC vs. Pittsburgh
Saturday, November 30 @ 1 p.m. Arizona time
R.T. O'Sullivan's Sports Grill
7919 E. Thomas Road, Scottsdale (southwest corner of Thomas and Hayden)

BC blew out North Carolina last week to get to 6-5 on the season and clinch bowl eligibility, but now the Eagles can work their way up in the bowl pecking order when they take on Pittsburgh in the final regular season game of 2024. Quarterback Grayson James and running back Kye Robichaux teamed up with a stellar BC defense to help BC build a 41-7 lead over North Carolina before the Tar Heels got a couple late scores. The Eagles have now won two of the three games since they made a change at quarterback and will look to end the regular season on a high note. Come join the Phoenix Chapter of the BC Alumni at R.T. O'Sullivan's for the game. R.T. O'Sullivan's will have food and drink specials in effect and have the game on multiple TV screens. The ASU-U of A game and other major games at that time will also be on adjacent TVs for those who want to maximize their football viewing this week. Friends and family are always welcome and please contact Jim Gruber '98 at [email protected] with any questions. Go Eagles!
