CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- When Jeff Hafley met the media for the first time over a year ago, he let the emotion flow through his veins as he spoke about his passion for the game. Speaking directly to the staff and supporters of the Boston College football program, he implored them to start the bandwagon with him. His intensity christened the moment as he told them to "get in," and the rallying cry's immediate impact baked itself into the very fabric of the program.
On Tuesday, when Earl Grant was formally introduced as Boston College's 13th head men's basketball coach, a similar battle call to arms echoed through the halls of Conte Forum.
