Get Tebow to the Heights!

I've joked about the media asking Addazio about Tebow, but now that football's most famous terrible QB is in New England, I think BC should embrace Tebow and the circus that comes with him. Addazio should get him to campus or a BC practice the first chance he gets. Tebow can talk to the current players. He can tell the press about how great Addazio is and how important he was to Tim's career. Maybe we can even get Flutie to show up and have a Heisman to Heisman meeting. I don't care. BC doesn't have a lot of buzz locally or nationally. Addazio's day at ESPN was hijacked by the Tebow news, so this is our chance to get some attention in return. Is it shameless? Maybe, but I get the sense that Addazio and Tebow do have a connection. Tebow might enjoy a few minutes with his old coach and the media will enjoy yet another angle on the endless Tebow whirlwind.

"...that's nice but let's get back to Tebow"

Before his media tour of Bristol began I predicted ESPN would focus on Tebow. It was worse than I thought. Mike & Mike, First Take, SportsCenter and The Herd with Colin Cowherd all peppered Addazio with questions on football's most famous free agent QB. I will have more on the actual BC talk in another post, but for now sit back and appreciate how ESPN can turn one guest into a pawn for their narrative.

A little info on new turf, Jesuits on sports and other links

I was curious about the timing of the change in Alumni's new turf, so I reached out to BC. The plan is to switch out after Spring Ball and graduation. It will be ready well before practice begins in August.

Tim Tebow's dad's church hasn't always said the nicest things about the Catholic Church, but I thought this Jesuit's thoughts on Tebow's praying was interesting and fair.

Here is one of the first take's on Kuechly as a draft pick.

Eric Hoffses talked to other writers who have covered Doug Martin in the past. The best recurring theme is that he adapts to his talent.

CBS thinks we still have work to do with our football recruiting. Top verbal commitment Akeel Lynch continues to talk to other schools. Cameron Shorey -- a New Hampshire DE -- is hoping for a BC offer.
