QUEEN CITY TRIO: Manchester Central grad Ryan Day, along with Dan Mullen of Trinity and Chip Kelly of Central, can be found on the sidelines of big-time college football programs each Saturday. We’ve thoroughly covered Mullen (Mississippi State) and Kelly (Oregon) since they took head coaching jobs. Tomorrow we’ll have a feature on Day, wide receivers coach at Boston College.

Two years ago, Day had an emergency appendectomy and still managed to coach at Virginia Tech within 24 hours of going under the knife. Boston College QB Matt Ryan ended up winning that game with an amazing last-minute drive in the rain.

Day was on medication that night and doesn’t remember much.

“I just remember waking up after the surgery (in Boston) and seeing promos of the game on ESPN. I don’t remember the flight or getting to the game (in Blacksburg, Va.) or anything like that. I just remember Matt’s touchdown pass.”
