BC Dominating the Boston/New England Market

[Yawkey Way]

Don't try to pretend to take the high road after you tried to score points by mocking his personal misfortune.

Context is everything. Blauds was more than willing to mock BC under their current football misfortunes ( fair game). As such, it seems proper for me to mock his football coverage misfortune of becoming irrelevent to all this, by his getting canned from the very paper ( Globe ) that he alleges... incorrectly.... will not send a Globe reporter to cover the BC football game vs. lower tier Wagner. Also, I did not use any vulgarity, nor profanity in my reply about him... nor with any other posters on here.

 

[SonsOfNutmeg]

I hear you regarding BC home football game attendance, but Uconn football is giving away free tickets now to its home football games, but still can't fill up the Rent for games off campus in Hartford. So I'm not so sure Uconn football fans should be pointing fingers at other school's " attendance ", when they have their own issues on home games football attendance at the moment. Just sayin'.

To be fair man... we were playing Maine...

Context is everything.

Really? When you pretended to take the high road and promised to leave, I took the context as the door hitting you azzs on the way out.

And let, you are still trying to justify mocking a man's personal misfortune.

 

[sdhusky]

A Pig taking the high road:

he now charges the remaining 2 dozen or so highly naive subscription readers of his highly dubious " inside sources scoops " a few bucks to allow this obese, down and outer, the ability to pay his utility bills from his worksite.... in at home.... in his basement.... now. Talk about " irrlevent " in Boston. Blauds is totally invisible in Boston these days now to 99.9% of Boston Sports fans. 95% of whom could not tell you if he's dead or alive anymore since being canned at the Boston Globe.​

 

[RedStickHusky]

I kinda like "bouchebag" for YW; may save that for future use... you think it's pronounced booshay? Pet names are a sign of affection right?

 

[Yawkey Way]

To be fair man... we were playing Maine...

Fair point. it was Maine that Uconn played. I " get " that. For context as well,, Blauds is "mocking" BC today , and its a BC game vs. Wagner he's talking about... and Wagner is even worse a football program and far less interesting a game than even Maine would be. BC should give free tickets to anyone in Boston to this game the same way Uconn did for those in Hartford that might have wanted to see Uconn play Maine for free too, imo.

What has happened in the world since BC won an ACC game in football or basketball?

Wagner plays in a league with Central Connecticut don't they? Do you have a home and home on this one?

 

[businesslawyer]

BC is under tough times athletically at the moment, no question about it.Its pathetic however how far Blauds has fallen. He was canned by this same Boston Globe, and is now so irrelevant in Boston to Boston Sports fans that he now charges the remaining 2 dozen or so highly naive subscription readers of his highly dubious " inside sources scoops " a few bucks to allow this obese, down and outer, the ability to pay his utility bills from his worksite.... in at home.... in his basement.... now. Talk about " irrlevent " in Boston. Blauds is totally invisible in Boston these days now to 99.9% of Boston Sports fans. 95% of whom could not tell you if he's dead or alive anymore since being canned at the Boston Globe.

And yet, he's relevant enough that you felt the need to come to another team's board and spend a full paragraph talking about how irrelevant he is.

Am I the only one who sees a logical inconsistency?

No. Wagner and CCU are not in the same football league, freescooer. its ridiculous when schools schedule these level teams, imo. Nothing good comes from these games for programs like Uconn, BC and the like. Stony Brook is similar to Wagner, imo... maybe Wagner is worse, who knows, who cares. Two years ago at the Rent, as you know Stony Brook almost beat Uconn( 19-16 ), and Stony Brook ( 1AA) beat Div.2 American International College ( Ma. ) 20-3 the following week. ( AIC lost to New Haven 31-7 later in '14 ) Uconn and BC get nothing at all playing these type of football programs, imo... only a possible scare of their lives if they don't take them seriously. Blauds is right to the extent, that there is about as much interest in Boston this weekend with BC playing Wagner as there was in Connecticut when Uconn played Stony Brook at the Rent. Few care about these type games, imo

 

[minidarren]

This thread is about BC Football... " attendance " was brought up on the thread... I responded to that. You subsequently brought up the irrelevant basketball pic, and the BC Basketball irrelevent issue to this thread topic. I did not mention BC Basketball as you apparently do not follow you own advice to " read and reply " to what the thread topic is about. Thats not my concern, nor my " problem ".

What isn't irrelevant is the word irrelevant being in a post about BCU.

 

[Adios]

Kinda funny how this @Yawkey Way harsly reprimands me and places me on ignore and is jolly with the rest of y'all.

He's a troll.

 

[Waquoit]

I still don't understand the hate for Blauds.

 

[Yawkey Way]

I still don't understand the hate for Blauds.

You'd have to ask the people at Boston Globe for why. Its pretty clear they" hated" his work ( and/ or his conduct ) to the point that they felt the need to take the drastic measure to give him the boot there at the Boston Globe.

Here's an actual question you may not know the answer to: Was he fired or just took a retirement buyout as so many other print journalists have over the past decade? Because it's pretty common for print guys who have a few years on them to have been cast loose upon a job market that can't use them.

That is so unbelievably ignorant that I'm hard pressed to understand how you can figure out how to use a computer. Traditional media jobs are being cut back every day. People are losing them not because they are not doing their jobs adequately, but because -- like steelworkers -- the market does not support the number of jobs in an industry that it used to. Like the steel industry.

Yet you, the almighty one, feel free to assume that a man lost their job because of their performance for the incredibly important reason that he shared his observation of the state of your football program.

Your mother must be so proud. Please go away.

And on top of that, feels the need to play the holier than thou card because he didn't swear. Give me a break.

BC Interruption - Where Do We Go From Here?

Oh, @Yawkey Way - curious how you know this ("his info is WRONG, by the way.. Globe, and other Boston media outlts WILL have beat writers there for the FCS Wagner game") to be fact on the Tuesday before the game.

 

[RedStickHusky]

Bouchebags bona fides (or lack thereof) have been well established on this board many times. You almost want to feel sorry for a guy so lonely that he wants to hang out in a place where he knows everything he says is going to piss people off. Then he starts typing and you forget all about feeling sorry for him, you just end up being pissed off.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

If BC loses to Wagner but nobody is there to report on it, did they lose?

That may make the paper because if Wagner wins, Addazio is gone the next day.

Being in the Boston/BC area as I am now (and I was raised in the Valley-so let's put things in perspective),
Several items of note that:
every media outlet is focusing (AS IT SHOULD)
a) on the Sox drive to the pennant
b) Jimmy G injury /Patriots QB situation
c) Bruins training cam opening
d) the Globe is now owned by the principal owner of the Sox
e)Blauds is a non-entity in Boston.
f) checked in with my friend(s) who have covered BC football, Husky Medic is correct-they do a writer covering.....

We need to focus on Syracuse and getting all of us to Alumni Stadium in November.

He didn't say they wouldn't send a reporter. He said the "beat guys" (i.e. the regular reporter assigned to BC) won't be at the game. Perhaps there's something else going on that they will be covering this weekend and the papers will cover with a lower level reporter or stringer. After all, it's only Wagner, a team you think they shouldn't even be playing.

you're act is so tiring... it's like a batman beacon anytime someone mentions BC. Count to 5, and you post some cliche ridden remark that is riddled with half-truths.

Where are you seeing that Uconn is handing out free tickets? I'm looking for 5 tickets for Saturday and the best price is $25 through Uconn. And those are only in the corners. Otherwise it's $30-40/ticket on average for the upper tier.

good news is, this year we get to see on the field and in the stands who brings the fans.

Maybe a wager should be made:
Uconn wins, you don't post here until a week before the next BC/Uconn game (banned). If BC wins, you get to post all you want on the BC forum gloating of your victory over Uconn.

 

[Nostical]

As someone who lives in Boston with several BC alums as friends, I take no solace in what's happening to BC athletics. Vibrant rivals are always a better option for fan interest.
FYI, yesterday, I was with two long time/big time BC supporters during a mediation. Here are a few comments they made. After years of attendance, neither re-upped on BC football season tix. They are disgusted with Addazio (who they said tries to recruit too much in Florida for guys ill suited to BC). Interestingly, both perceived their President as someone who would actually love to de-emphasize athletics at BC (and both agreed he's doing a good job at that already!).
As for UConn's exclusion from the ACC both immediately brought up the lawsuit and Blumenthal's desire to grandstand." What he accomplished was making the lawsuit appear to be driven by UConn, all to UConn's long term detriment". I've heard that from too many folks along the way to dismiss it as urban legend. But both wished we were ACC members so our rivalry could be embraced.
There are lots of frustrated folks at BC and no-one seems to have a good answer for how to cure their woes.

F-BC... But you're right we need rivalries that matter in college sports- especially here in the Northeast in big boy CFB. I say the ACC adds UConn and goes to 16 already. Why have a 15 school conference? Talk about unbalanced!

What about a UConn/BC rivarly game once a year. Would be huge.

If you want to talk rivalries...the ACC could add UConn and West Virginia as 15/16 and have 3 instantly hated rivalries (UConn/BC, UConn/Cuse, WVU/Pitt). I don't see the B-12 surviving if they add Houston and Cincy only and that would free up WVU for the taking.

 

[TRest]

So, I guess Yawkey doesn't actually know if Blauds was fired or downsized.

 

[ElGuapo]

Ha Ha!
BC is suffering and has a bad case of the Pasqualoni's right now.
