MARK HERZLICH'S NECN INTERVIEW BEFORE LAST SATURDAY'S GAME

My last minute visit to Boston College was unexpectedly documented in this short NECN.com interview with Mark Herzlich. He is a beast!

Go Eagles! Congrats on the win. Let's get ready for this Saturday.

MARK HERZLICH BEAT CANCER T-SHIRT FROM BC

Boston College is now selling their very own Beat Cancer T-Shirts, and $5 of each shirt sold goes to the American Cancer Society. Awesome.

Nice eye black on the Eagle. Saturday is rapidly approaching. Go Eagles! Welcome back to Boston Mark. Stay Up!

MARK HERZLICH HEADLINE ON YAHOO SPORTS

"Here's how you know Mark Herzlich is tougher than you."

HERZLICH ON TWITTER YESTERDAY

Although his tweet raises a myriad of questions, it is great to hear that Mark is already thinking about getting back in the gym. I would hesitate to broadcast that Mark will be hitting the gym regularly but I know that he's itching to be out there with his teammates.

Amazing news Mark. Take it slow. Do it right. We here at HerzNation can't wait to get you back on the field next season.

Stay Up! Go Eagles!

Follow Mark Herzlich on Twitter.

HERZLICH GOES IN THE 2010 TOP TEN - TOO SOON?

Even before the smoke has cleared from the 2009 NFL Draft the mock 2010 Drafts are out. SI.com has Herzlich going number 7 overall to the Cleveland Browns. Where as CBS has him going number 4 overall. I've checked other sites that have him going in the top 40. Let's be honest, it is too soon.

My thoughts... "Herzlich...Great job in the spring game...Hit the weights this summer...Follow coach's orders...Rest up...Enjoy yourself...Get ready for the best season of your college career." 

The only time that Herzlich needs to worry about Draft day is the day after the Eagles win the bowl game. That goes for me too. I'll just report the circus.

Congrats to all of the Eagles Free Agents. 

FOCUS AND FINISH

This is too good. Scroll to 1:45 and check out the hands. Mark drops back and reads the route as if he's running it himself. Plus the move that he puts on the guy before he gets in the end zone. Damn. Can I say that Herzlich could be a nice tight end? I know I'm not the first guy to say that. You have to watch this video to the end. Not only are there some kick ass graphics and a huge explosion, look at the bumpers of the guys with their arms crossed. Too good. 

Also. There's a break in the video then a very weird section highlighting new head coach Spaziani as the old defensive coordinator. Kinda Cool. Enjoy.

2008 MARYLAND MONTAGE

Check out this defensive montage from the 2008 Maryland Game. Mark gets some good face time in the bizarre montage in the end, including an inverted clip that makes him look like a neon hype man. Scroll to 1:43 and check out the spin move off the line. Can't wait to see the stronger faster 2009 version. Go Eagles!

YESTERDAY'S NEWS - HERZLICH ON LOTT TROPHY WATCH LIST

It's on!

April 7, 2009
"BC senior linebacker Mark Herzlich has been named to the 2009 Lott Trophy Watch List, which was announced today by Ronnie Lott. Herzlich, a quarterfinalist last year, is among 42 defensive players from around the country that have been nominated for this award."

"Herzlich earned ACC Defensive Player of the year, and was an All-ACC Academic selection this past season. In addition, he was named to the Associated Press All-America Third Team. Herzlich led the team with 110 tackles. He also paced the defense with six interceptions and eight pass break-ups, while returning two interceptions for touchdowns."

The 2009 Lott Trophy will be announced at a gala black-tie banquet at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach, California on Dec. 13, 2009. And I will be there.

SPRING GAME AND FAMILY FUN DAY

Check out the press for the first BC Eagles spring game, April 25th 2009 at Alumni Stadium, sponsored by BMW of Peabody. This is the sneak peak for the ads that will be run in the Herald and the Globe in a few days. This pretty much confirms that Herzlich is the face of Boston College for the 2009 season. 

Not that I'm surprised. Not only is Herzlich 6foot4, 240, with a huge beard, and intimidating eye black. He's wicked smart and he's got a smile that would melt any mothers heart and probably even make your girlfriend do a double take. I applaud Boston College marketing for finally figuring it out. Plus Herzlich's last season numbers don't hurt.

Sadly, I can't make it to the game but I suggest that all of you go and remember to hit up the autograph signing and meet Herzlich in person. You'll see what I'm talking about. But bring a sack lunch because I know that the line for Herzlich's table is going to be around the block. Let me know how it goes.

(Also. Can we get Spaziani a new photo. He looks like a chump with that smile. Have some respect for the new head coach.)

NUNS SHOVELING SNOW WITH MARK HERZLICH

Dudes in Nun costumes shoveling snow. Pretty funny.

Mark makes his acting debut and does a pretty good job. (Scrub to 1:20 for some face time.) Great poise and timing on camera. All we need now is a post apocalyptic backdrop, a sexy female sidekick, and some production value. I call "Film Star". (As a second career of course.)

EAGLES! TWENTYTEN!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THE WHOLE THING

Despite the horrible dancing text, the vomit inducing flashes of light, and a song that you would only listen to while polishing off a bottle of whiskey in a dark, dingy closet the morning your girlfriend dumps you for your best friend...

Herzlich gets some good screen time in this mix of the 2007-2008 seasons. Enjoy.

**Please drink responsibly. With a glass.

PRE-GAME INTERVIEW FROM 2008 SEASON

Take away the high angle profile(nice work camera guy) and the wanna be Sportscenter reporter(thanks Palestra) . This is a pretty good interview.  

**But people, say his name corretly.

It's Herzlich ('Hurts' 'Lick') Got it.  Thank you.
