Spaz: "We are what we are"

by **HJS** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 4:50 pm

You were waiting for him to say it... now he has: "There's a certain area we recruit," Spaziani said. "We all have our circles. It's just that we've got the Atlantic Ocean on one side of our circle…. We're not a lot of other colleges. What they do is good. We are what we are, and we love it that way."

Nice article blaming Tranq for the offensive line's troubles (complete with ObserverCollege comment).

Has Spaz once said the goal is to win a national championship? I've never seen a new coach work so hard so early to lower expectations across the board in every facet of the program.

by **branchinator** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 5:03 pm

It's almost as if Spaz is intentionally trying to piss off EO with his comments.

What about the Res? So we are sea locked and can't win?

You can recruit as far north as the resevoir. You can recruit as far east as the Circle Cinema. You can recruit as far west as the Sheraton Tara. And you can recruit as far south as Brookline.

That is Spaz's recruiting "box".

Step back from the ledge, fellas. This sounds a bit different from the way Toby used it. And I don't think anyone has expressed anything but happiness with Spaz & Co.'s recruiting thus far.

by **RegalBCeagle** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 5:36 pm

That's it. I've fucking had it. I HATE SPAZ AS HEAD COACH. I HATE OLD MAN TRANQUIL. I HATE COACH FLIP.

A gem:

After Jagodzinski was fired, Spaziani brought in Gary Tranquill to run the offense, and with that came a new blocking scheme. Castonzo described the new scheme heading into the season as “a little bit of everything. We’re mixing it all in. There’s really no run scheme that’s out there that we’re not using.”

Unfortunately for BC, none of the offensive line’s blocking schemes seem to be working, and that does not bode well for the immediate future of this young team. Aside from the five offensive line starters, eight of the remaining 17 starters are either freshmen or sophomores. In addition, 10 of those 17 starters outside of the linemen had no regular starting experience before this season.

I wasn't sure what it was that blew up the OLine, but here's the evidence. Really???? The team's strength is blown up in favor of "a little bit of everything?" Fucking assholes. Starts with Dumbo, then responsibility shifts to Spaz, and ends at GDF. Disaster level blunders!

Yes but the Atlantic Ocean has been overfished so :spaz2

is going to run out of recruits soon.

What does he even mean with the Atlantic Ocean comment? Because BC is a coastal school, they can't recruit as much area as other non-coastal schools? He can't actually mean that... can he?

You see BC is "ocean locked." Spaz can't drive east and recruit in the Atlantic Ocean. There are no high schools in the ocean. There is only 3 directions he can go, putting him at a recruiting disadvantage to Ohio State where Tressel can get in a car and drive in any of 4 different directions. And really, Spaz can only recruit in 2 different directions since they don't know how to play football in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, or Canada. :gun

Using his logic, the Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks should recruit better than anyone. It's a wonder the University of Miami can even recruit enough people to field a team! :skank

by **auggiebc** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:22 pm

USC can relate....they have a similar problem due to that rascal of an ocean called the Pacific stopping them from recruiting westward. And poor LSU has the gulf of mexico keeping them from winning championships. and Miami is blocked from recruiting in the THREE directions by that same damn Atlantic ocean. That's why none of those teams can win either.

by **gallopingghost** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:43 pm

Spaz recruiting seems better than Jags. Why didn't Spaz try and retain Logan as OC? I bet if he had made the pitch , Logan would have stayed.

by **HJS** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 7:35 pm

Well... I have to assume the "Atlantic Ocean" comment should really make Bjorn Werner a lay-up. I mean... we are physically the closest school to Germany. So, we should be the natural choice.

Spaz deserves criticism for the tanqiuil hire, the quotes during the clemson game, and last weeks performance, but reading into this quote and making a big deal out of it is ridiculous.

by **NorthEndEagle** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 8:09 pm

Just give it a chance.

This quote is him saying we are BC and we love it. That's it. He's not saying we can't win. Come on. You're jumping off the ship way to early.
Be fucking positive.

If we lose Saturday then i'm with you but we won't!!!

In fact "We're going to run this town"!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVA-xTBeHyM

TRUST ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angrychicken

BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF BITCH ASS WAKE!!!

by **1981Eagle** on Fri Sep 25, 2009 8:24 pm

This CAN'T be happening. This has to be a nightmare. He needs to keep his mouth shut. As far as coaching, you hire a Toby guy so you get a Toby guy. When Schiano took the Rutgers job, he said his goal was to win a NC every year. Now that is a long shot but at least he knows what the goal is. This stupid Eye-Talian (I'm Itlaian) bastard, Spaz has no freakin clue.

Let's get one thing straight. I didn't like TOB and wanted him gone 3 years before he left but some of you people are way over the top with your criticism of Spaz. What's next? Maybe you can gain some valuable insights into his coaching philosophy by observing the way he eats cornflakes.

In the same article on accsports.com he described Clemson with the phrase "they are what they are".

Despite his admitted recruiting shortcomings he's managed to get a promising QB from slightly west of the Sheraton Tara as well as a 4-star WR from a state in which we haven't done well recently.

I'm going to wait a bit longer....I was happy with Shinskie's play but shitty calls by the refs and brainfarts by the coaches and the players almost blew it...
