Fr. Leahy hates Cincinnati! (Caveat: Blauds)

That came in play at the end of a 9-3 season when I asked DeFilippo where BC might play in the post season. He said he had lined up[ a spot in the Fort Worth Bowl with Cincinnati.

DeFilippo thought it would be a good match up since O'Brien came from Cincinnati and still recruited extensively in the area.

"That's not going to happen,'' I told DeFilippo.

"Why not?'' he said. "It's a good match up.''

"Gene,'' I said. "I was in the room when Father Leahy almost spit out the word Cincinnati and how he didn't want to be part of a league with schools such as that.

"Oh that was just general talk,'' said DeFilippo. "This will work out.''

Two days later, I saw DeFilippo and he had a sheepish grin. "You know, you might have been right about Cincinnati,'' he said. "Father asked me if we had to play in a bowl game at all.''

Yet somehow Fr. Leahy was fine with us playing in a bowl against Toledo and Colorado State (previous two years) not to mention Boise State (next year)?

Didn't Brian Kelly apply or interview to be HC at BC while he was at Cincinnati but was turned down in favor of the Polish guy or one of the Italians?

Thank you. I've been out of the ali-assing game for a few years so I know I'm a little rusty.

Sports Illustrated bought the Jersey Guy site? I've taken dumps that had more content, better traffic, and superior editing than the typical article on that site.

Somebody call SI, I just ate ethnic food and have a new media property I'm soliciting bids for

They didn't buy the Jersey guy site. Blauds is a blogger now. My guess is he is getting very little per article.

Yeh those bloggers are terrible.

In all seriousness, that loser is an upgrade for SI.

After Jersey Guy (as an evolution of Jersey Guy?) Blauds started a team blog with three other guys called "the media guides"
https://mavensports.io/college/tmg/
Now it's an SI-branded property, if nothing else. Hilariously, the top banner on the home page links to the other 3 authors individually but not Blauds

I read somewhere on the SI blogs that Father Leahy also hates parrots, tacos, and tubas.

Exactly. This story did not age well.

Did blauds get kicked in the head a lot at some point?

His campaign to paint :spaz3 as a good coach made more sense. :ace

A healthy dose of skepticism is warranted when Blauds writes a story with himself as the wise hero.

Don’t you guys see? BC had zero say in who their opponent would be this year. To disprove Blauds, you’d have to find a situation where BC purposely went out of its way to contract playing a program like Cincy. Good luck with that...

I think that Luke Fickell might be the #1 candidate for the BC HC job. If he is NOT to be the coach, lets hope we all find out tomorrow who it is.

Assume he is the coach. Assume that the Cincinnati and BC board of trustees knows this will be happening, BC couldn't have drawn worse possible luck in their bowl opponent. What do these two schools do? How could they keep a lid on this (or should they) until after Jan 2nd?

If Fickel is the coach the next month will be stressful and interesting. The best analogy I can come up with is when Hyde and Kelso's old girlfriend (played by Mila Kunis, the overrated Israeli actress) are doing it but they don't want the rest of the gang in Forman's basement to know about it. But no one could keep a secret from Kitty, who quickly figured it out. Finally Donna and Eric catch them, but I want to concentrate on Kitty. In the Fickel scenario Kitty stands for astute observers like me, who unlike you are not easily fooled.. BC, of course, is Hyde, although he's probably more the UMass Boston type, and Mila Kunis is Fickel. The more I think about it the more I think that Fez and Eric are more the BC types but that doesn't fit this narrative. So suspend that and work with me here. We have the scene set...I am Kitty, the all knowing, but I don't have a mouthpiece beyond this board. We need someone in the lame stream media to discover that Hyde and Jackie are doin' it, and then report it. The media in this case would be playing the roles of Eric an Donna.

It's also possible Blauds fabricated the entire conversation and Leahy could care less who we play in the bowl

I try to block the sock puppets because I generally only want to respond to sincere people. I have no time for insincere shenanigans. I have quite a few posters put on foe now (they know who they are), it trims away much of the fat. But I'm sure many of them are just sock puppets.

As the Eagle Outsider FP&A team is no-doubt putting the finishing touches on the 2020 operating budget, could I make a suggestion? Can you set aside a couple million AdSense dollars for the development of a feature that prevents me seeing "foe" posts at all? I mean I don't want to see when it was posted and I don't want to see it when a "friend" quotes it. Hell, since this is a new feature you could probably capitalize the development (please consult Jackson Hewitt's finest for clarity around GAAP capitalization rules).

It would be great if you can give the boys in Bangalore a jingle and have them gin up some ones and zeros for your old pal.
