They don't do it yet, but I know that it is in the works and that they want to do it!

From what I understand, it is a great team bonding experience for those who go. The down side is the cost.

I could definitely see that being an experience of a lifetime! I mean, you get to travel to Europe and play football! how long are you out there for, a week?

Very nice, sounds like it will be a great trip for the team... I am assuming NC will be a reloaded squad in 2012? Or did they lose a lot due to graduation? Or does it even matter at this point because they have built such a good program that they just reload every year?

They lost a lot of linemen, but they rotate quite a bit so they should be okay. The offense will be loaded with all main play makers returning. I'm hoping for a great season. How about your team?

BU returns 8 on Offense and 9 on defense, so based on what they have returning they should have another successful year! They do lose their starting QB on O, whom wasn't a difference maker per say, but an adequate QB... They also lose their best WO which I think is a bigger loss then losing the QB!
Defensively they lose both corners, which hurts, but, at the D3 level I believe it is easier to replace the skilled position players, then it is to replace quality linemen and BU does return all of them!  I would love to see another playoff birth this next year for BU, at least those are my hopes for next years team!
Man, I can not wait for football season, these next 5 months can not go by soon enough lol!

Good God, man - we're in the North!  It is still winter!

Savor spring and summer while you've got 'em!

I understand the sentiment from both football and basketball fans, but good grief!
