On the verge of an amazing win over BC/sending UConn & BC on dual coaching searches.

HA! Army ends an 8 game skid against the Thunderchickens. Today wasnt all bad.
 
Same Army team that lost at home to Stony Brook by 20 points last week. Couldn't have picked a nicer team to get redemption on.
 
Why are those no-talent assclowns in a position to block UConn from entry into the ACC again?
 
I would like to thank Army for making my weekend worthwhile. After today's loss I'm totally down on UConn football and it's future. Army winning may me realize it's not as bad as it could be. We could lose to Army....thank you BC.

Great friend to share your miseries with. Mr. Williams is a good listener and is more smoth than even Keith Stone.

Duke has 5 wins in FB at the start of the second half of the season.

duke plays in the acc. the difference between the acc and big east is this

one league has a couple top teams and 4 or 5 bottom teams
the other has 2 top teams and then a ton of bottom teams and is taking more bottom teams from the first league becuase bottom teams hang out together.

Obviously didn't root against my alma mater but happy for the cadets. Apparently if they win, they don't have curfew for the night.

Apathy is a beautiful thing. Had a nice day at West Point.

Don't worry you guys are about a year away from this state, embrace it.

Did Spaz get fired on the way home? I guess you would need an AD in place to make that happen.
 
The ACC has a losing record in non-conference games against FBS opponents.

Sounds like BC has picked an AD, Boo Corrigan from Army. They waited till after the game to avoid the unnecessary awkwardness. Press conf scheduled for Tuesday.

Hey - did you get that from "a jerseyguy"? He's been pushing in that direction, now seems to be waffling a bit today.

post......"We're bad and you guys will be soon"

Make no mistake about it, GDF and Fr. Leahy do not exist at UCONN. There's a big difference between struggling during a season and flawed leadership. Big difference.......

As for the Blauds AD comments, he's thrown about 50 names against the wall, waiting for BC to hire someone so he can point "told you so!". From other things I've heard it'll be Corrigan.

You can criticize me all you want. You're on the same track as we were in Spaz year 2.

They were both hired for the same reason (program lost a popular coach, hired as one to steady the ship, not a long term solution, etc)
Year 1: Disappointing, some grumbling nothing happens
Year 2: Squeak out a bowl, more grumbling. Talk of how boring the product is, boycotting till coach is replaced, etc. Ultimately coach isn't fired after making some no name bowl
Year 3: Bottom out, even more apathy sets in.

The difference will be if you give PP a 4th year, BC did despite cries otherwise

Now with Leahy, he doesn't give a about sports. But he's overseen tremendous growth at the school, endowment has shot up, tremendous building around campus, now a top 35 university nationally. Would I want him to pay more attention to the athletic side? Sure, but it is a university, not an athletic franchise.

I hear that but I tend to drink a lot of grey goose after a disappointing loss

GDF was allowed to reside over a debacle that included moving out successful coaches in football and mens and womens hoops to replace them with folks who at best were either unproven or incompetent. The Jags fiasco was without precedent in any behavior I had ever seen in college athletics and pretty much screwed GDF from dealing effectively with named coaches.

His focus on excluding UCONN from the ACC seemed to take precedence to just about everything else to the point that his public comments required rescinding within 24 hours by him at the demands of ESPN.

In other fine moments, he resided over the "resignation" of BC's women's hockey coach who by all accounts was having an inappropriate relationship with one of his players. Thanking that coach for his tenure on the way out the door.

Insular and small...........is not UCONN. Not by a long shot.
 
BC's main claim to fame in the Big East is that they had a big hand in destroying it. Now they are working their magic in the ACC. Va Tech is now VPI once again, Ga Tech is regressing, Miami is college football's Titanic. Bet the ACC can't wait for Pitt and Cuse to join the league. Clemson and FSU swimming against the tide, just a matter of time until they find a better situation. I doubt whether the $50 mil exit fee would be enforceable anyway.

You wanted the Jesuits, you got 'em.
 
No, BC's claim to fame is being in a better conference than UCONN (for the time being anyway) and literally being the worst program in all the major sports of that conference.

Must be a blast for the fanbase.........
