I commend Addazio's attitude.<br /><br />The fact of the matter is that the fan base was sick and tired of Spaz. He was paid $1 million a year and, among other things, ran the football program into the ground. Hell, Addazio could have even said, "I am not going to be like the last coach and do this." <br /><br />Addazio recognizes that the state of football BC suffered the last couple of years is unacceptable and I am glad he is not forgetful of our not-too-distant proud history. He wants to win and knows the key selling points that make BC attractive.<br /><br />Addazio will be judged by his on field performance, but at this point he is saying and doing all the right things.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057195901711593018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-66077664211869497512013-02-26T23:47:23.380-05:002013-02-26T23:47:23.380-05:00Chicago's explanation sounds more plausible th...Chicago's explanation sounds more plausible than the original reporting.

Yes, it might have been funny (and i'm always a big fan of humor), but it feels instinctively classless and I would hope that a coach at BC leading the charge to excel in all areas including inspiring our athletes in the way of character and integrity would rise above mockery to lead by example. <br /><br />Summarized differently but not disprespectfully - BC is not Temple, nor are we Notre Dame. We are BC - and let's allow our leadership to reflect that fact.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197552583084485086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-70582122478387935192013-02-26T15:46:02.629-05:002013-02-26T15:46:02.629-05:00As long as we're waxin' poetic ...

In fact, it's classless, and that's not BC, at least, it's not the BC I root for. I'm as relieved as anyone to see the Spaziani era come to a close, but no one deserves public ridicule from his/her successor. (And there is no such thing as "private" any more; just ask Mitt.)<br /><br />As for the poetry, baby steps. For a football guy, the path to Eliot may begin with Silverstein wannabes.mod10aeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04009617224575563986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-84918688710735733072013-02-26T12:20:15.604-05:002013-02-26T12:20:15.604-05:00Easy to get excited with what Addazio is saying so...Easy to get excited with what Addazio is saying so far since Spaz was so completely incompetent (probably could not lead a PTA meeting let alone a football program).<br /><br />I am a bit more cautious about getting caught up in the rah rah talk. I will wait to see on field results before getting on the bandwagon. All the outreach in the world won't matter if we don't become bowl eligible soon.
