If one looks at the vendor's site who made the BC bubble, they sell a sensor that is suppose to adjust the pressure inside to account for high winds.

"Sensor automatically adjusts the dome’s interior pressure set point, to accommodate for the outside wind speed, and weather conditions."
"Automatically adjusts interior dome pressure to maintain correct dome stability."

If we have one, it doesn't work!

There are as many people in the stands in that picture as there was for kickoff in the Maine game.

Illegal immigrants with children born out of wedlock are to blame for the bubble's fall.

the bubble

Did they do anything differently after the last collapse - like factor in the fact that it snows in New England?
Oh, and it is snowing again in Boston

Adazzio spoke at an event in NYC last night; he said that they haven't been able to use the bubble 13 of the last 17 days. He said the biggest difference that can made to improve the program is to improve the facilities (specifically an indoor practice field). He knows that BC will never have the best facilities in the ACC, but that they should at least be good. He wasn't complaining, but just said it as a matter of fact. According to him there has been a gigantic movement in the past decade to improve athletic facilities and that BC will eventually take part in it.

He said we had a great recruiting class, but he's never heard a coach say they're disappointed.

He mentioned that Borgesen is already the fasted guy on the team and is very excited about Ray Smith and Wyatt Ray.

Obviously doesn't care about rankings because a lot of the guys committ early and don't play the recruiting game. He also said kids in the northeast are usually rated lower anyway. His plan for recruiting is to build a relationship with the kid. He said, generally, if a kid is down to schools like FSU or South Carolina, then they've targeted the wrong kid; our peer recruiting schools are Stanford, Northwestern and Duke. They're focusing on the 4-5 hour radius and the private and Catholic Schools. He was excited about gaining a presence in California.

He said that Brian White started to get emotional during his first talk to the team; he had grown up going to BC games apparently.

He knows and trusts Fitch. Daz is an offensive coach and he's not going to change the offense. He did say they would throw more with these qbs (specifically mentioned Wade and Flutie) and the increased athleticism of the WRs.

That's all I remember now; I'll post more if I recall anything else. There wasn't much time for questions and he left immediately after his talk.

If Borgerson is legit faster than Alston, that's a good thing.

He also mentioned Chris Garrison as a guy he was really excited about, which surprised me since I hadn't even heard of him prior to that.

DAZ also alluded to BC changing the rules for the Bubble being a reason why he couldn't use it. he said something to the effect of "i don't even know when we can go in there anymore." we gotta build this guy an indoor practice facility.

thanks for this

daz is really high on wyatt ray. watched the signing day presser, both brown & daz said they need to start getting home w 4 rushers and not need to send 5, 6, etc to get pressure and they think the combo of allen & ray really start to address that.

Both Daz and Brown stressing the 4 man rush was also the most reassuring part of signing day for me. Gives me hope that we haven't yet seen what the final Don Brown defense will look like and maybe he has more in the bag of tricks than sending the house while the corners are playing bad man coverage or a cushion.

Having a truly elite pass rushing DE for the first time since 2005 (the games Albright was able to play withstanding) would be awesome, having bookend pass rushers and an OLB or two that can get after the QB is something I've never seen as a BC football fan.

Ray was a huge signing and lining him up opposite Landry could be special. They are still going to blitz, they just don't want to have to.

Couple other takeaways from the event:

1.) That terrible bowl game had me pissed, but Daz's speech again had me ready to run through a brick wall. The guy spoke forever and was hilarious. His main quote was from an MMA fighter. I also came away thinking he's not going anywhere. He is very passionate about BC, and unless the Dude is one of the greatest talkers out there, he will be here for a while. He continued to reiterate his belief that we can and will be competing for championships soon and drew comparisons to Stanford multiple times. I cannot imagine being a recruit and not loving this coach. His speeches on family, faith, team and effort are great. The Dude's legit.

2.) He BARELY mentioned Leahy and Bates, while praising Fr. Jack Butler quite a bit. Just struck me as a bit of a push for Butler to the big money alums if/when Leahy ever steps away.

3.) Last year when I heard him speak and also when I talked to him directly, he mentioned facilities but was very tame in pushing it aggressively. This time, he mentioned it quite a bit and left no doubt he is pushing hard for the indoor practice facility. Quite honestly, he seems frustrated at the lack of progress on this front. As mentioned by someone else, he knows we are not in an arms race with the FSU/Oregon teams of the country, but he did point to maintaining pace with Syracuse and Wake Forest.

4.) Daz mentioned that this incoming class of OL is one of the best he has ever been seen, and as he pointed out, as a former-OL coach he knows what he's talking about more than the recruiting sites. He is pumped about the OL, DE and speed brought in with this recruiting class.
