This is interesting re:ATL

Looks like UConn/Big East patsy blads is ATL's source on the Rogers getting fired BS that ATL tweeted/posted. It is interesting huh ATL, he can't be honest because he has to ride on the plane with Spaz but he has no problem with pulling some BS out of the air on Gene D to try to make him look like the bad guy in the ACC situation. Congrats on doing the leg work for a UConn loving BC hater!

[flyingelvii]

Your conclusion confuses me. As does your reasoning. I did not gain much knowledge from your post. Please do better with your thoughts next time.

[ATLeagle]

You'd be wrong on a lot of fronts there. Blauds is not my source for anything. I've only met him a few times and doubt he could even put a name to my face.

My point with the tweet was that he editorialized and used a lot of anonymous sources regarding this story but wouldn't do the same regarding the Spaz and Rogers blowup. I do know from other people that he was looking for the story but couldn't get the key figures to go on record.

So, your assertation that Bladschaun couldn't be completely honest writing about Spaz and the Rogers situation because he had to ride on the plane with them was something you pulled out of thin air?

Since Rogers being fired was BS and is on medical leave do you expect him to return to BC next season should he find a remedy for his health issues? Rogers was signed to a multi-year contract.

Kiwi had a sack today and as a result this dickface 94 has to come on here and assail blogboy once again.

Seriously dude, WTF is your problem? You are the worst poster on this site. You are worse than all of Father Barrett's aliases.

Maybe because it was a tweet, it was hard for you to understand.

Blauds has no problem writing "anonymous sources say the real reason for ACC expansion was due to their jealousy of Big East basketball..."

Yet his collegial relationship with BC (from travelling with the team to being buds with Spaz) keeps him from writing "anonymous sources say the real reason for Rogers' leave was due to a blowup with Spaz at the halftime of the UCF game..."

[HJS]

Forget for the moment that 94 is a cocksucking douchebag. I wonder if this fictionalized article, and the blowback it will certainly receive, will cause an Armageddon of sorts between GDF and Blauds. GDF calls him out for the bullshit... starts restricting access... etc. Blauds counters with articles about Gene's meddling and publishes the rumors out Rogers.

While none of this will help us Bettie of Spaz, it will end Flip's career quite quickly.

I don't know if it's BS or not and frankly don't care either way. My issue is/was that there are enough real problems so a person who claims to be a credible journalist making unsupported claims about behind the scenes personnel matters to try to make them look worse is not necessary. I think most posters on this board want the same thing, a winning, exciting to watch, respected football program. There are a few different ways to get there without completely tearing down the institution and defaming all of the staff with it, that will only prolong the recovery period and certainly won't help in attracting quality people.

[JesuitIvy]

If you're tossing blame at ATL, I think that's ridiculous. ALl of our criticism, ATL's included, do two things: raise the pressure on GDF and Spaz, which is a good thing, (otherwise, who wouldn't want to sit on their million-dollar job without having to address their mistakes?) and shows outsiders people care about BC football. Is someone really going to say they don't want to go to BC because people are critical? More likely they say no if people don't care.

[nerd]

According to 94, Rogers getting fired won't have any effect on future assistant coaches wanting to work at BC. But mentioning it on a blog ... that's where prospective employees draw the line.

I agree. So I think what we should do is write Blauds a nasty letter and tell him to start getting his facts straight and using real sources.

I am not tossing blame at anyone. I am giving my opinion on the guy’s public blogs/posts/statements. Like I said, I think there are better ways to go about it. Criticism is fine with me as long as it is accurate and verifiable. When you're 1-4 and off to your worst start in 20 years and things appear to be getting worse, that's enough for me. I don't need to know if Gene uses the wrong fork at dinner.

Regarding "All of our criticism" I think there is a different standard for anonymous posters on a message board and a guy who claims to be a professional journalist who cares about BC.

Everyone knows Bladschun has a Big East/Anti BC agenda. He doesn't claim to care about BC or it's athletic programs. He has been doing this for years. Writing a nasty letter would only give the impression that I actually care what he as to say or that I am surprised that he would make unsubstaniated claims. The guy's a hack.

And yet you would prefer that he be our lone source for news/info about the team and what happens behind the scenes?

Hang on, let's make sure we're all on the same page here.

You are mad at ATL for writing that Rogers was fired, as he was told by sources whose identities you don't know.

Blaudschun is a hack, per your post above.

So you would be satisfied if:

1) Blaudschun the hack writes "I have an interesting story, but I won't say what it is because no source will go on record"

or

2) Blaudschun the hack writes that Rogers was fired but has no on-record confirmation?

Are you sure there's even a windmill at which to tilt?

No he did not write me or make a statement. As I said, I have no relationship with him. Another BC beat writer who is not from the Globe told me that Blauds knew about the halftime issue at UCF (call it fight, argument, Rogers' biting his tongue, etc) but couldn't get anyone to go on record.

SUMMARY

I called out ATL a few weeks ago for his claim about Rogers being fired because it caused a 20 page shit storm that essentially made Gene out to be Satan himself (I am exaggerating). As I was reading it I realized that it was based on 99% speculation from second and third hand information, with no substantiation. At the time, ATL said it was from a reliable source but couldn't disclose. He tweeted yesterday calling out Bladschun for not going with the Rogers story because no one would go public yet he went with the Big East/UConn crap without quoting sources. I assumed that he somehow knew first hand that Bladschun was actually sitting on the Rogers story maybe even fed it to him and he went with it. Apparently that was an incorrect assumption. But, I am still confused as to how ATL is so sure that Bladschun sat on the Rogers thing and how ATL justifies calling someone out for doing the same thing he did and adamantly defended two weeks ago or so.

edit: I am not mad at anybody.

Do everyone a favor and take a gun to your head. That is all.

[apbc12]

ATL didn't call out Blaudschun for writing the Big East/ACC editorial (let's call it what it was) without sourcing. ATL called out Blaudschun for not writing about Rogers. If a lack of sources/on-record quotes is a reason not to write a story, he shouldn't have written the expansion story the way he did.

ATL was pointing out the hypocrisy--using nicer terms to call him a hack who constantly plays favorites.

Is 94 OJ, or has she simply climbed to the top of Dipshit Mountain?

It truly amazes me that some of the dumbest people on earth (supposedly) hold the same degree from BC that I do.

Congrats 94. You are a true spokesperson for retarded individuals.

I don't understand the blind support for ATL anymore than I understand this attack. If ATL, a blogger and not a journalist, wants to post inside info that he can't verify I say fucking do it, I want to know the rumors. When he is wrong, he deserves to be reminded (HCRD) and when he is right he deserves to be lauded. But I don't understand discouraging the dissemination of information about BC by one who cares for the program.

I don't think it's blind support.

For me, he is the most prominent "internet voice". But for a BCS school where there's such little CONTENT he does have some inside sources (like many of us do), I appreciate the inside scoops.

90% of the board gets their panties in a bunch anytime anyone says boo in the direction of ATL. I like his rumors and scoops too, but that doesn't mean we all should act like pansies for fear of offending him.

On the other hand, he should post whatever he wants and fuck 94.
