We are at Fenway Park for day number one of the 23rd annual WEEI Ness and Jimmy Fund Radio Telethon.

And joining us now, friend of the show, friend of the, friend of the telethon in the past when he was with the New England Patriots.

It is the head coach of Boston College, Bill O'Brien.

Bill, good morning.

Welcome back.

Hey, Greg.

Thanks for having me back.

It's a great day to be on with all you guys do for the Jimmy Fund.

It's awesome.

I feel like it was touch and go that we didn't know whether we were going to get you back every week

because I know you're focused only on football, but I appreciate you being back again with us this year.

No, I love coming on the show.

I think there was probably a miscommunication or whatever you want to call that.

But no, I enjoy being on the show and look forward to it.

All right.

Well, I think boldly over the weekend you proclaimed that you want to see 60,000 fans

at the season opener.

Is that a possibility over there at Boston College in your mind?

You know, look, my thing is, you know, I used to say this to you guys last year. I say it over and over again. I mean, you know, the Patriots open up a week later. You know, we open up, you know, on the 30th, and it's the only show in town. And I think we do have a good football team. We got to go out there and do it. I always tell you guys that, but I do think that we're a

fun team to watch and, you know, it's in a, you know, beautiful campus, beautiful stadium, good tailgating, all that. So why not? Let's get $60,000. They tell me it holds, I won't say how much they, they always, you know, kind of correct. Hey, Coach, you know, we only hold this. I don't care. Let's try to open it up and put 10,000 more in there.

Well, you know, we only hold this. I don't care. Let's try to open it up and put 10,000 more in there.

Well, we could probably get another couple hundred in
