Is he overly optimistic at times...yes but the majority of commenters on this blog are pretty negative so I find his point of view refreshing and hopeful albeit somewhat unrealistic.<br /><br />I do think it would be interesting if ATL occasionally responded to some of the commentary to help clarify his thoughts or offer additional insight. <br /><br />Also remember it does not make a lot of sense to bite the hand that feeds you. With a few key strokes ATL could shut down this entire blog and you’ll be forced to move over to BCI to vent your frustrations. <br /><br />I would like to see Daz fired but I will still be rooting for the Eagles to beat Boise State.

The level of competition has decreased. Progress can be incredibly subjective. Schedule 12 FCS schools next year, go 12-0 and claim progress???<br /><br />This is how I would measure progress - Did this team beat every team it was supposed to? NO<br />Did it give superior teams a run for their money? NO<br />Did Dad finally develop a creative, unpredictable offense that's lacked for 5 previous years? NO<br /><br />Beat Boise State in a meaningless showcase and claim progress?

My point was, if horrible Addazio and this team didnt lose to mediocre teams like NC State, Cuse and Purdue (were killed in two of those games) and to awful teams like FSU, then the team would not be in this predicament and having to play in this toilet bowl. The fact is, the program has been mediocre at best, but more so irrelevant for a decade now. Same with the basketball team. On top of that, we are regressing in the US News college rankings (not the best measure, but universally recognized). There is the need for significant change from the top down.BCAlum2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/18426748457186497109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-29439772464676107582018-12-03T14:09:53.084-05:002018-12-03T14:09:53.084-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-30995224237092678162018-12-03T13:53:33.251-05:002018-12-03T13:53:33.251-05:00It is comments though by people like BCAlum2000 th...It is comments though by people like BCAlum2000 that we don't need. <br /><br />The best possible outcome.<br /><br />By December 26th this will have turned into if we win this game I think we will have showed some real progress this year and taken a major step forward. <br /><br />Stop trying to justify this. It is a crap bowl game and they happen to be playing a team that is barely ranked. <br /><br />And it is far from the best possible outcome. Maybe it is the best possible outcome based on losing the last three games. The best possible outcome would be they won 2 of their final 3 games and they are in a much better bowl game. <br /><br />I have seen so many people say based on how they ended the season this is a good result. That is a loser mentality. If you want to be more than a 7-5 team you don't look at the First Responders Bowl as the best case scenario.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16399209366793628734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-48386199504628414132018-12-03T13:37:15.744-05:002018-12-03T13:37:15.744-05:00The self-righteous Joey strikes again eiwi his sup...The self-righteous Joey strikes again eiwi his superiority complex.Geezer eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478348312836625701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-44570748861746274832018-12-03T13:15:00.733-05:002018-12-03T13:15:00.733-05:00I think people need to cool down and lay off ATL. ...I think people need to cool down and lay off ATL. Is he a BC homer who picks BC all the time? Yes. Is that a bad thing? No. He is a grad and a fan. He never said he was impartial.<br /><br />As for the perceived lack of criticism of Addazio, I think ATL has made it clear tat he is not a fan. Some of you think he has a lot more clout than he does with folks in the administration.<br /><br />Agreed that the bowl is bad, but the competition is decent. What did you expect though? Its actually the best possible outcome.

O'Brien was quick to make clear that you're just not going to make it to the BCS when you have to go with your freshman future NFL MVP as your starter.<br /><br />Not to mention Syracuse shifting their safety to RB to replace their injured players there. Everyone knows you can't get blamed when a converted safety shreds your defense.

The opposition not so bad. The Players will be in it for pride.
