The aliass? You miss yourself?

If you're talking about the real goit, I miss him too. Especially when Loeffler was his OC and not ours.

I was going to make a comment about there being plenty of tix available for $13. But, then I saw this scoreboard link that shows you can get into almost all the good games this weekend with a $20 bill and still get change. Not that anyone needed more data to refute Corners' economics-by-salesmen posts.

BC 24 vatech 17

[Eaglekeeper]

BC had done a terrific job driving fans away with horrible football, overpriced parking, nazi police, etc., yet 30,000 still show up. Change a few things and sell outs will be the norm.

30,000? Yes, when ND fans flood the stadium. Even then, there were empty seats and lots of tickets available on StubHub.

You're right about driving fans away with horrible football, overpriced parking, nazi police, etc., but then you kill your credibility by saying something completely asinine - again and again and again.

What time did this game start? Thought it was 730 start.

[hansen]

Got to love a 1 yard pass play on 3rd and 10.

[angrychicken]

They better come back with something better than pounding the rock. Fuckers.

[eagletx]

BC secondary getting raped by this freshman QB....That slant is available for 6, 8,10 yards at a clip. Moore is supposed to be an experienced senior, right?? 51-3 looking about right, once you factor in the second half collapse. 17-3 now...

Hilliman looking to shy away from contact a few times already...and Sweeney is dropping balls when he isn't getting motion penalties...another clutch senior.

[angrychicken]

This is 1990 2.0. Good talent. No execution. Bad coaching.

[Uptown Eagle]

The idiot announcers now fully pitching Daz's agenda. Young players, injuries, what if they were full strength, blah, blah, blah...

Daz's best move has been those trips to ESPN during the off-season.

Really hard to watch.

This season is looking more like 2012 2.0.

I was in and out of the room there for while, but I feel like the guys in the booth got all over Daz for putting Hilliman in on 3rd and short instead of Dillon (right before they failed on the 4th down conversion).

I truly don't know why I keep watching these fucking games. Same retarded shit over and over and over again. Wrong personnel, bad play calls, no adjustments... This program is at the bottom and keeps going further down each week. It's scary.

Actual Halftime interview involved him lamenting missed plays (drop balls, missed FG, poor pass on 4th down to an open receiver). Mentioned the team has made some plays on offense and defense but needs to do more.

It’s nowhere near what it was with Spaz. That hopefully is the absolute bottom of modern BC football history. We now have talent; we are just not using it. Extremely frustrating.

I wish Spaz was the DC. There. I said it.

True, they called for more Dillon on that play, but early in the game they said that Hilliman was having the best year of his career.

And the "where would they be without all the injuries" might as well have come from Daz himself.

[HJS]

I haven't watched much of these games this year. But, when I have, it just seems that the players are either out of position or running wrong plays at the wrong time. I really don't believe any team that has beaten us has ever felt the game was in doubt. At this point, I just feel bad for the kids because we aren't putting them in a position to maximize their abilities. Sadly, I have no confidence that a coaching change makes any difference as Leahy will ruin that hire... again.

[ATLeagle]

VT doesn't need to throw one pass in the second half. Just run. We are not coming back unless they throw INTs.

[Supahfan99]

Third down on each side of the ball has just been awful. VT 6 for 10. BC 1 for 8.

There's just no way you can win doing this on third downs. Nationally BC was 105th in 3rd down conversions coming into the week offensively and 73rd defensively.

[HJS]

BC on ST coverage and returns have been damn good whenever I've seen them. I note this because so much of that is pure athleticism. Outside of "stay in your lanes" or running a fake, there really is no coaching involved. When you take coaching away from both teams, our players show they are as good as anyone.

This. We are not elite, but the talent gap doesn't explain away the blowouts.

But this is the youthiest and injurediest team ever

[hansen]

We haven’t we won an ACC game at home since 2014.
That is all.

[hansen]

They have 9or 10 in the box. Why are we trying to run the ball?
It’s maddening.

[twballgame9]

BC sucks so bad that Tom O'Brien made the hall of fame. Fuck.

[hansen]

Who cares if we don’t score points?
We have the “no huddle 3 and out offense*”!
