That is fine when your programs are successful however, I think more emotional and sports focused players are required for Boston College to get back to an average level of success. <br /><br />It is my belief that Boston College has stringent standards for who it is willing to offer scholarships(I am not sure exactly what those standards are though). That being said, Boston College needs to "diversify" its approach to whom it will recruit and to whom it will offer scholarships, on a short terms basis. I think this would make the programs successful more quickly than they are trending currently. Then when the football and basketball teams get back to average the "standards" can be raised back to the current level.<br /><br />If I were coach Dazzler or friggin Brad Bates I would ask for some flexibility in this regard sooner rather than later. Although the washout of Outlow and Sherman Alston might indicate that they already have.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-19865999283724688602016-10-05T17:36:09.923-04:002016-10-05T17:36:09.923-04:00CrowtherCrowtherGuidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12663471019808019390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-78026407312739498092016-10-05T17:35:21.314-04:002016-10-05T17:35:21.314-04:00Big Jack Krack - You are absolutely correct.

I hear people mention Tom Coughlin for AD in the interim. That is the type of individual needed-authoritative , no nonsense guy who could effect a quick turnaround. Throw the big $$$ at him 3-4-5 million and say - GET IT DONE TOM !!!!!!!! I gave up my season tickets , but was interested in the Clemson game , so called the ticket office - without telling a long story , let me say that the individuals working there need more training since they were unfamiliar with the facts around a recent offer made to former season ticket holders. BLOW UP EVERYTHING and start over . Coughlin would do that and accept no excuses from anyone !!! Go BC -try to keep it close and GOD BLESS WELLES CROTHER !!!!!!!Guidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12663471019808019390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-29931329730986835352016-10-05T16:14:56.019-04:002016-10-05T16:14:56.019-04:00The cupcake scheduling makes me want to vomit.

Throw in 4 god-awful cupcakes, and half our schedule is terrible to the very fans we are trying to get back.<br /><br />I never bet on the horses, but I had a friend who did.<br /><br />In studying the betting form, he would say "Show me the past performance."<br /><br />He would then do his calculations, pick the 2 horses most likely to win, and then "box" all the other combinations with those 2.<br /><br />In studying BC under Bates and Addazio (and Christian) what we get in looking at the past performance is really disheartening and bleak.<br /><br />What are the chances these guys will turn it around by interjecting some enthusiasm and common sense into their efforts. What are the chances they will create a product that is attractive to the fans they need to bring back?<br /><br />It sure does look as though our players need new "trainers and managers", just like the horses.Big Jack Krackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202172743722727956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-79387515722738641232016-10-05T12:14:25.356-04:002016-10-05T12:14:25.356-04:00The Cupcake diet is back!
