Emerald Isle Classic, football game.
The Emerald Isle Classic was played in Dublin, Ireland between the Boston College and West Point Academy ("Army") teams in November 1988. Boston College won the game, beating Army 38 to 24. The game was the first major NCAA game in Europe. Although originally conceived as an annual event, limited attendance in 1989 caused it to be discontinued.

O'Brien earned his degree from Boston College's College of Business Administration (1960). While a student, he played football and was considered an exceptional offensive and defensive tackle. He continued to play professionally, but his career was shortened by injuries. O'Brien was the primarily organizer of the Emerald Isle Classic.
