It's nice though that you think a recruit would actually care about what you say though..some positives..<br />1. Their record improved from last year<br />2. They made a bowl which didn't happen last year<br />3. Jeff Smith converted nicely to WR and improved as the year went on<br />4. Other younger WR' s also improved over the course of the year<br />5. Identified some younger talent on defense that got a solid year of experience and will be back better, stronger, faster next year<br />6. Finally found somebody that can consistently kick a football through the uprights <br />7. Won 2 ACC games (won zero last year)<br /><br />Those are a few positives but I know that is nowhere near what you want. We aren't consistently out recruiting and beating Alabama, OSU and Clemson every year so go ahead and fire away about what a joke the program is..maybe someday your dreamworld might become a reality!ReiDaDorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938174493638057059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-70767432057945259562016-12-03T09:32:46.807-05:002016-12-03T09:32:46.807-05:00Well stated, Jerz and Chris.Well stated, Jerz and Chris.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370373135189857562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-81110054658745454282016-12-03T09:04:51.623-05:002016-12-03T09:04:51.623-05:00I don't think the team improved from last year...I don't think the team improved from last year. In fact I think we regressed. Yes we won more games, but if you look at the product on the field it's abysmal.<br /><br />It's some of the worst football I have ever watched. Our two best wins were shit show games. At wake we were dominated in every statistical category and - by a miracle - won the game. I don't view that as an improvement.<br /><br />Remove all wins and losses and all stats, bottoms line is that the product is horrible. It's not fun to watch and the game plan puts our athletes in a position to lose. I don't blame any of the kids at all for this. I blame the leadership.<br /><br /><br />JERZeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765767282825088433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-2206314569514754162016-12-03T01:40:00.150-05:002016-12-03T01:40:00.150-05:00BC shouldn't be losing by over 40 points again...BC shouldn't be losing by over 40 points against top ACC opponents.

Nothing has been more embarrassing then losing by 40 points every time we play a top ACC opponent. I want to see BC land a few 4* recruits at the very least, haven't seen BC land a 5* recruit in over a decade. I believe Brian Toal was the last 5* recruit BC landed. I guess in reality stars don't matter however it would be nice if BC could at least compete in the ACC again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994510720182111329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-89289277905034303332016-12-02T19:32:38.124-05:002016-12-02T19:32:38.124-05:00I will never boo or personally disparage a college...I will never boo or personally disparage a college athlete.

We had a brand new Head Coach and probably many new on staff - and a brand new, untested Quarterback from Brockton, MA.<br /><br />Check out the first play. We ultimately lost, but Michigan was scared to death for the entire game as BC went ahead 12 to 0.<br /><br />This was BC "Pro-Style" Football. Whatever we are watching now is a whole different deal.<br /><br />When I attended our first game at Clemson as a member of the ACC I wasn't worried. I didn't know if we would win, but I knew we would compete and that Clemson would know that our Pro-Style offense would make them sore all week.<br /><br />BC football can't play that way now, but we pretend that we can.<br /><br />It's baffling. Our line isn't much bigger than our guys in 1994, and no where near what we had 10 years ago. <br /><br />Thanks ATL for giving us a forum.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-14177507325804855312016-12-02T17:54:59.210-05:002016-12-02T17:54:59.210-05:00I definitely wish BC had a football/basketball coa...I definitely wish BC had a football/basketball coach or AD like this.

He was able to win because he had that intangible magnetism that defines success. Jags had the same profile as did Ara Parseghian. Daz was the offensive coordinator on a national championship run at Florida with Tim Tebow. The emphasis is that he was not the head coach. Urban Meyer had the intangibles. He won the championship. Daz was just along for the ride. Just like Spaz who was a great d.c., Addazio was a great o.c. He is just not head coaching material. Paying him 2.6 million per for eight years does not make it so. He was floundering at Temple. His offense of "play not to lose" and "keep the game close" belies the enthusiasm generated by Jags. "Reidador" has no clue to what makes a successful and imaginative program which generates enthusiasm and positive vibes. Jags is the o.c. on a nowhere program at Georgia State. They went to Wisconsin and lost by six.

Daz does not and has not recruited P5 caliber players for the most part, which is a significant cause of BC's decline. And even if one were to blame the players, why does that make you a bad fan?

That said players, coaches and fans should expect more, particularly given the lopsided blowouts this year. A bowl win would go a long way towards the idea of "progress" versus a year ago.

Could you imagine what their record would be with an average offense and some football mentality? The offense is easily repairable. Sign a few good o-lineman who don't need coaching. Or fire Frye who has not developed 1 single o-lineman in the last 3 years - his players. <br /><br />A line gives Towles confidence to stand in the pocket or know where the running lanes are going to be so he doesn't have read the rush every fucking play. It makes the RB's better for the same reason.<br /><br />And then sign 1-2 animals who can lead the team. I don't see any leadership on the field especially from the offense. No outward football mentality.<br /><br />Back to Syracuse. That game would have gotten someone in a high coaching level fired at any other Power 5 school in America. On every single level it was a disgrace.<br /><br /><br />Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-6539048410990680362016-12-02T13:23:55.459-05:002016-12-02T13:23:55.459-05:00I will get back to you on the positives...it's...I will get back to you on the positives...it's a long list mod, gonna take me awhile to put together...ReiDaDorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938174493638057059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-54867305994999838762016-12-02T13:22:19.154-05:002016-12-02T13:22:19.154-05:00Knuckle I agree with you on the Syracuse game, tha...Knuckle I agree with you on the Syracuse game, that was really bad. Again, I by no means am arguing things are perfect but we are 6-6 and going to a bowl. Now we can argue till the cows come home about beating patsies, etc but this is where we stand and if I remember correctly we were nowhere near a bowl last year. The team easily could have packed it in this year and threw the season away but they didn't and keep fighting and scrapping to pull out a victory at Wake...one that most of us probably thought they would lose agreed? Amongst the negative there is some positive and contrary to what everyone wants to believe there is some young talent on this team...QB and O line, just like this year, will be a big factor....ReiDaDorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938174493638057059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-26951098944505620882016-12-02T13:21:06.554-05:002016-12-02T13:21:06.554-05:00... and not more than one loss by more than 14 poi...... and not more than one loss by more than 14 points...
