It was a year ago today that TOB officially left BC for NC State. I think time has proven that it was a good move for all those involved. For those of you who weren't reading this blog last year, here are a few posts of note from the time.
-- Stuck in a rut. I wrote this after the Miami loss and TOB's flippant "we're up, aren't we?" comment to Erin Andrews. I feared no one would want him and we would never fire him. NC State made things easier. It gave BC a fresh start and avoided a bitter firing.
-- TOB to NC State rumors. NC State's courting of TOB was interesting for me as a blogger. Running this blog I hear a lot of things. Much of it is rumor that I don't feel comfortable posting. However, I knew the NC State stuff was real based on who was visiting this blog and what terms they were searching. In the five days leading up to the TOB to NC State announcement I kept getting curious searches related to TOB -- all from the Raleigh area and many with NCSU.edu as their ISP. Funny how that stuff works.
-- Thank you Tom O'Brien. He's done and said things since this post that have rubbed me the wrong way, but I still stand by what I wrote.
-- For Gene's consideration, Part I: The TOB Tree. This is the first mention of Jags anywhere and it came 30 minutes after TOB's departure. Like I said earlier, I don't break news. I hope I provide analysis and information that others don't. That is why I am proud of listing Jags the first night.
-- Anyone else as excited as I am?. My post right after Jags' first press conference.

Interesting article over on ESPN about how the Chick-fil-A bowl selected Clemson over BC. Figures.

Bill,
i gets menitoned from time to time, but I wanted to throw my two cents in as well. You really do a great job with this blog and the TOB posts are perfect examples. None of the vitirol associated with other blogs but always well thought out, reasoned, interesting commentary and analysis. When something related to BC breaks - I always look here first.
Keep up the great work. I know I speak for all of your loyal readers - even Bravesbill - when I say we appreciate the effort.
anyone have a link to the press conference?
Here's the link to the news article and the press conference.
