Remembering 911 Through Football | Boston College Football News

This Friday, September 11th, Boston College and Rutgers face off in a game steeped in solemn tribute—marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Both teams honor fallen alumni with special uniforms: Rutgers wears 37 and “Never Forget” to honor 37 lost alumni, while BC’s Red Bandanna Game pays tribute to Welles Crowther, the heroic lacrosse player who saved lives in the South Tower before returning to help others. Welles’ family and families of other BC alumni lost that day will be honored on the field, with a Coast Guard flyover adding to the emotional weight. This isn’t just football—it’s a powerful moment of remembrance and resilience. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
