official press conference game thread

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

where can we submit questions and are external links allowed as a part of the submitted questions...

say i want to reference historical stats of wins and losses like so - is that something the technology can handle?

[TontoKowalski]

Here's what I know - today's thread is going to have to somehow beat the Addazio-hiring-thread which I'm going to say won't be possible:

http://eagleoutsider.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12966

I am tentatively optimistic about the Jarmond hire, for the simple reason that, somehow, someone did something differently this time. It's not a typical 'safe' hire of some dickless stuffed suit. Jarmond's young and his career track record suggests he's willing to bring and suffer the pain.

This is a foreign idea to most of the platinum class micro-eepsteins on this board who need two hours with a therapist in a safe space if the first class steward forgets to drape a hot towel over your tiny weeners, but suffering and pain are good things and shape your existence. Hopefully this thread isn't a toilet flush of Innocent Dicklessness.

All things are possible with EO.

no meatbomb (or baum) this time... below is a legit link to the live press conference

who think buttcut will be there? how about the heinz hammer or jimmy mac?

[claver2010]

Heinz hammer is there in his best sweater vest

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

loved his answer on gameday experience... we'll see if anything comes from that

he's got some work to do on polish - he's going to come off as "guy in his dad's suit" for a while, that's clear. it's tough to take that "guy in his dad's suit" seriously at times

i'm hoping all his references to the programs being "about the people" means that he's ready to shitcan slaughter the alienator and wallflower mac

the press in the room were lame and it made me wonder if all the questions were written by jack dunn or someone else in the program

still excited and still think this is the sort of new thinking that this program needs. the mac is wack, long live big time sports

[angrychicken]

Good to see that the jumbobeses were represented in the audience.

[ILikeBC]

Things unasked:

Football's lack of competitiveness with the top programs in our conference
Financial commitment in the form of a greater operating budget

I thought the being about the people, saying he wanted to support the programs and not coaches, and pointing out that he had shitcanned people before were extremely positive for the prospects of shitcanning jimmy mac and addaziani

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

the "shitcanned people before" was a reaction to someone claiming that he hadn't shitcanned people before...

and i'm glad to hear that he's shitcanned people before... but i'd be more impressed if he hired successful people before

I thought the same thing. If Addaziani can't get to a bowl game, he is a goner.

As it should be. He's in year 5 with all his own players.

I was a little bit displeased that he didn't have BC-specific answers to BC-specific questions about facilities or fan interest. He could have said anything he said about pretty much any other school.

Not that it matters ultimately, but still

You can't really understand how truly atrocious the BC fanbase is until you have had an opportunity to experience and at least talk to the ghost.

yeah - a bit of a cop out to every bc related question that he wasn't in the details yet but i'll give him a pass on that because he still has a full time job somewhere else. it just better not turn into something similar to the butt-cut progress report on the new ipf ("RENDERINGS!!!!!!")

[HJS]

I found Bill's introduction kind of funny... his final words were an almost mocking. "Martin... it's all yours."

[DavidGordonsFoot]

Was gumshoes at the presser?

[ATLeagle]

Christian is a dead man walking, but Addazio has a lot of breathing room. They are both Meyer guys.

[Bernard Lonergan]

Interesting. I heard it as resignation. As in, "I've heard the criticism. The oversight of athletics is all yours Martin." Perhaps wishful thinking ...

In other breaking news water is wet and Eaglekeeper says dumb shit that pisses off hansen about track.

hammer is a Meyer guy, but Meyer wins. Slaughter doesn't.

Good luck thinking that. Should be good.

i think itll be awfully hard to not fire the ketchup king if he goes under .500.

i think it is unlikely this happens.

in the event he goes 6-6 / 7-5 (likely), i think it is doubtful he gets fired. theres a very good chance we have this clown for 3+ seasons. with this joke schedule year in and year out it is really hard not to win 6 games.

were winning: northern illinois, wake, central michigan, uconn. itll be hard for ketchup king to go 1-7 or 0-8 in the other 8 games.

We are in very big trouble if we just hired an AD that would let his allegiance to a coach at another school affect his decision making at his current place of employment.

we will lose at least one of those "were [sic] winning" games. my money would be on wake but it could also be Yukon. we are going to lose to Yukon at least once in this bad idea scheduling decision. is this the year?

They aren't losing the Fenway Bowl to an inferior team, that's an artificially jacked game. Wake maybe, but I doubt it. They'll also win 3 of the other 8 though.

the injury bug is still south for the winter. once he makes his commute to chestnut hill in august/september, the 6-6 guarantee will fade into bolivian

Exactly. Plus, Slaughter has screwed up the quarterback position so add to the list of excuses he'll need.

[twballgame9]

QB position is fine and injuries aren't going to make much of a difference in most of their games. May 2-3 toss up games where a significant number of injuries or injuries to key positions could impact the outcome.

2015 was an outlier. He's a 6-6/7-5 coach with these kinds of teams and schedules.

I just meant that the fucktard went with Towles to make sure he got to his coveted 6-6. He should have started Wade all season for developmental purposes.

kudos to the island of misfit posters for always bringing the hottest bc sports takes

I don't like when people say they are fathers and husbands first. Nobody cares about your wife and kids. If that is your philosophy fine(I agree with it) but don't tell me you are happy to serve Boston College but that your family comes first. You are already telling me that Boston College is not going to get your full attention.
