Three Connecticut-related threads on the home page make me feel a little uneasy but I though this was a good article from the Hartford Courant.

Connecticut-Bred Addazio Has Turned BC Football Around

"You've got to be able to recruit," he said. "Some are great recruiters and not good football coaches. Some are good football coaches and not great recruiters. You have to be a real good football coach and a great recruiter as well. That's just the way it is, and I don't know whether you can get away with anything else. I'm trying to be the best I can at both."

Addazio will continue to work to make BC a power.

"I told the guys this is a four- or five-year deal to turn around this roster," Addazio said. "We're in that process and what I love about it is I want to get all the best players in the Northeast, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and I believe at BC the way you win is you bring these players and you develop your players at BC. We're not going to go get junior college players. We don't do that here. We have too many academic restrictions. We bring our guys in here, we develop them, build pride in our program, in our university ... make the high school coaches in the Northeast feel like this is their place and they're a part of this thing. That's our plan on how to build it."

It must have killed our old buddy Dez Conner to write that piece.

He must've made up with Phil Brodie.

I actually love that he has nothing but nice things to say about UConn. I love the company-line: If you're from Connecticut you're always going to root for UConn, but if you want to be involved in BIG TIME college football in New England, go to Boston College.

There's no rivalry here. No disrespect. It just is what it is...and UConn is a vastly inferior program.

He washes more ball than you.

why so angry? i didn't point out that the intern's flaw was that he wasn't counting all the "girlfriend's" balls that you wash increases your total exponentially
