Don Brown

Sucks seeing him on BCs sideline.

Not as much as it sucks seeing this on ours.

 

[Pudge]

However ...

The WF coach Jim Grobe is extraordinarily clever in using Browns aggressiveness to rip off big plays. I forgot ... My thought immediately watching ... ACC teams KNOW Brown from his Terp days. He's not changing his spots ever.

 

[Skiblets]

He's there because Addazio will be at BC for at least a few years. Brown didn't want to be on the unemployment line at the end of the year. He got out ahead of the curve

 

[whaler11]

Throw in he lost 4 NFL draft, all league players on defense. Really makes it an easy decision.

 

[Dooley]

Yup, Don Brown smelled what we all smell: a dead fish. He got out while he could and like whaler11 pointed out, UCONN lost a ton of talent to the draft too. I wish him the best but not too good...until he gets out of BC at least!

No more than 30K on the Heights tonight

This is tough to watch, but at least a BC fan will see a win. I'm jealous.

Army, NMSU, Syracuse and an upset gets them 6.

 

[UConnJim]

No brainier for Brown. PP gone after this year and probably Brown as well if he stayed at UCONN. He gets at least 3 to 4 years at BC because it's a new staff and sets up his retirement.

 

[FDNY99]

And Wake may have just made this a game.

Yup. Another lesson for UCONN: it might take a while to rebuild its fanbase post-Pasqualoni. It might take us longer than normal to rebuild the fanbase back to pre-Pasqualoni levels given our conference situation.

Or not Dagnabbit!

 

[whaler11]

Wake is disgustingly bad. The have nots are brutal.

 

[Srqhusky]

Bc looks much improved. Wake is bad but u beat the bad teams the way your supposed to like they are doing. Much credit to addazio and brown

 

[UConnJim]

If UCONN is winning and creates some excitement, the fans will come. Remember, the first lesson in sales is things are sold, not bought. The selling needs to come from everywhere within UCONN. Personally, I think UCONN has done the best marketing job this year since UCONN went FBS, but the product and the optimism around the program has regressed. Both can be fixed with the right coaching staff.

So far Don Brown's D has forced 6 turnovers in 6 quarters. Was last year a statistical anomaly? It certainly wasn't a lack of pressure.

Their D looks great and I feel sick watching it. .

We have P defense now. It involves a lot of standing around and staring, much like the man.

Wake has just thrown the ball on the ground three times. Yes there was an element of variance to UConn's low number last year but I wouldn't overreact to Wake and Nova.

They actually look pretty bad. They should be up 28. Wake is just terrible.

 

[metsfan2323]

I would like to point out that Sio, Trevardo, Wirth, Gratz and Blidi do not play for BC. The idea that we can't use Don Brown's pressure schemes because we lost those players is garbage! We can't have a pressure defense because our leaders are idiot cowards who P themselves when our opponent does something that wasn't on our prep film!

I said improved, not good. They are a work in progress but there o line and power plays look good. Qb and reciever timing need work but by the end of the season should be there. I bet they get 7 wins this year

How much would you like to wager on BC getting 7 wins?

 

[Srqhusky]

Well they got cuse , new mexico state, north carolina and army. If they win today that has them at 6 wins. They would have to pull out one more with maryland or nc state You can have all my boneyard points

Oh all they have to do is beat North Carolina and Cuse to need another win over NCSU or Maryland. I would have taken multiple thousands on 7 BC wins.

They may have a shot at 8...

 

[whaler11]

They have a shot at 12 in theory. Their over under was 4.5 assuming they win the first two. They are going 5-7, maybe 6-6.
