BC is trying to deliver a death blow to UConn right now. Hiring Addazzio takes away a serious contender for the UConn HC opening once Pasqualoni is fired after 2013. He has CT ties and BC sees the importance of getting back in the CT high school battleground with UConn because they usually land a few of our kids for some God awful unknown reason. Now, hiring away Brown ensures our defense will struggle next year and may result in a few UConn recruits re-opening their recruiting (see: Cory Jasudowich) and reconsider BC if the kid is committed to northeast ball. IF UConn is indeed angling for a B1G invite, it will take a while to get in (AAU invite needed first, likely). BC knows they have 2-3 seasons to try to knock UConn out for good. Fans, especially diehard fans like you HFD, who give up on the university and program(s) are exactly what will knock UConn out. BC (and other northeast schools I'm sure) are hoping that the sleeping giant UConn stays asleep for as long as possible to ensure our long marriage to the NNNNNNBE 3.0.

Just to be clear, BC fired a 2-10 coach and then hired a coach a lot of the BC fan base finds underwhelming just to keep this coach from Uconn? And then just to get a few Uconn recruits to reconsider, they hired Brown.Because this is all about BC trying to kill Uconn football,

Is that your real position?

How about that Addazio left TEMPLE for a lot more money and a better league. And Brown left for a league he has familiarity with and for more money.Maybe he is tired of having to be the crutch that the whole team leans on to win games. Maybe he sees nothing is changing at Uconn and he was going to be a free agent next year. Jump now and get in with a group that has at least another 3 to 4 year lifespan and make more money.

One of these seems to make a little more sense than the other.

And Adazzio is still at the bottom of the pay scale for the ACC. If Uconn wants him, they can probably buy him if they are willing to pay.

Obviously it's not the sole reason but I don't have any doubt that it went into their line of thinking in their coaching search. BC is #2 in NewEngland right now, even in a better conference. Adazzio can recruit and brings intensity and excitement...something BC sorely lacks. They are taking advantage of the 2-3 year window that ESPiN and CR has given them with UConn left in the conference cold with the coaching change and bringing in a guy who has a solid recruiting reputation who could, potentially, lure kids away from UConn to go to BC. To get where BC wants to get to eventually, they first have to dominate New England and leapfrog UConn in the recruiting circles.

the coach i want is still out in the open. we lost a dc i wanted to keep and anything as oc is good. i still pray and hold out hope warde goes to bed at night jacking off to the thought tht hes with me and hes just waiting on the ncaa to aprove his letter of request to hire tressell. until that day is not possibl and the spring game hits, i will hold hope. at that point when the sping game starts, im going to punch myself in the dick.

I think we knew this was going to happen when PP wasn't fired mid-season. The whole point of "Don Brown for HC 2012" was to can PP, promote Brown because we know he's an asset, and find some young OC to reinvigorate the offense. Once we got to game 9 or 10 it was pretty clear that wasn't in the cards... I don't think we should be surprised that Brown doesn't want to work another year under PP given next year's prospects for a winning record don't look that good, and supposedly there was friction within the coaching staff (which may or may not involve Brown).

95%? According to President Herbst, "I wish you could see my mail and answer my phone, to get a true sense of how dedicated and upbeat our best fans are."

I guess that means 95% of Boneyarders our Connecticut's worst fans....

I volunteer to answer the phone in order to figure out who this upbeat inner circle is and either what they're so happy about or why we shouldn't believe our eyes.

think about all the calls and emails from e alone. for her to have 95% good things going means there are billions of uconn fans that the boneyard dosn't know about. funny considering how the rent and xl look recently. it really is funny.

My UConn 2013 prediction of going 14-0 is getting harder to achieve every f#$king day...
