Someone do me a favor re: EagleAction

[eagle216]

Remember when we had the best culmulative record in our division since we joined the ACC (a 5 year sample). We may still do.

Yet the EA douches, and sadly some on here, want to throw the team a god damn pizza party for beating f'in Clemson, almost beating f'in FSU, and beating Cake Forest. I love how actual facts be damned, these idiots still think we should be just happy to be on the same field as these teams.

This is what pisses me the most. We have owned this division since we have been in the ACC, yet these assclowns want to relinquish it faster than OJ relinguished his virginity to Elton John. We are now supposed to be happy with modest wins vs. the ACC's two dormats (likely Wake and Dook), whoever else sucks at the time (for now, UVa), plus one "upset" of an ACC Bigum. Then we are supposed to be overjoyed to make, and maybe win, the Depends Bowl.

Think about this: Spaz is praying for a 4-4 season with this schedule - Home (VPI, MD, Clem, UVa), Away (NCSU, FSU, Wake, Dook). If he gets it, the EA crowd will friggin crown him.

[eagle9903]

this is pretty outstanding:

Call me crazy, but I don't consider people convulsing, twitching or lying stiff as a board on the field "part of the game". I can do just fine without it.

I think I speak for the board when I say we'd all like to see you convulsing, twitching, or lying stiff as a board on the field.

i'm not convinced we can beat Duke. their coach is 100x the head coach are coach is. unfortunately, for him he's stuck coaching in durham, nc.

The EA crowd hates BC being anything more than slightly better than Holy Cross. This is their IDEAL season. This is EXACTLY where they believe BC should be every year... fighting for their lives to win 6 games in a 12 game schedule. They effing HATED 2007. Effing HATED it. Oh... they loved Matty Ice... they just hated the brash way we went about trying to win every game we played. The audacity of what-should-still-be a commuter school!!!!

It is why the Wah-Wah/Rah-Rah monikers never really fit.

How do you know this when you are the one who started this thread by asking people to copy and paste from that website to this one? What evidence do you have to support these assertions other than that they fit your pre-existing worldview or your memory of what EA was like in 2005? This very thread exists because you have no access over there. But you know everything about the people who post there.

Just like you guaranteed that Jim Grobe was going to Virginia... 2 years ago. You bring this on yourself by your refusal ever to make any statement or assertion sound speculative or tentative. Everything you write rings with the authority of Revelation.

Shit just got real.

RUSH THE COURT!!

[Eagledom]

Losing Larmond was fucking huge. The WRs are TERRIBLE...having just one legit threat in there would help the O a lot.

Very true

Not true. All CLJ would have done was given OJ's boy more weeks at QB. We would've rolled with Shinskie (with Marsco subbing in after the concussion) through Clemson before taking the redshirt off of Rettig for last week's game against Wake to see if he could stop the then-6-game losing streak.

This is so effing stupid. They didn't start the right players in the right positions all Summer long and through the first half of the season. End of story. No strategy, injury, recruiting deficiency changes that very simple fact.

The team is performing better and better each week as the right QB and right OLinemen playing the correct positions begin to gel. We are right now exactly where we should've been heading into the second game of the season. Discussion about anything else other than squandering talent or potential new coaches just acts camouflage for the real problem.

This is why no one takes you seriously. For any valid point you make, it is hidden in 10 layers of hyperbole and exaggeration. To say that getting rid of tranq (and unfortunately having to deal with still having Spaz as head coach) would not be a step in the right direction is fucking stupid. Your agenda is so fucking overwhelming that you have lost all perspective. Things aren't good, but the program is not dead and burried for the next 5 years as you would like to believe.

From Rocko this morning, bemoaning our ill-advised results in 2007-08...enjoy!

When Tranq is replaced (whenever that occurs) it is very important that the offensive philosophy remains similar. BC doesn't want to go through another transition to 'a different type of player.' Like the ill advised transition to zone blocking linemen and then back to power blocking linemen. For instance, we sure wouldn't want to go a spread attack that uses 4 and 5 wide and underutilize the very good TE's we have or have commitments from. We wouldn't want to start running the triple option with Retig and Sunstrup, etc...

And... there in lies the stupidity of firing Tranquil and not Spaz. Any change at OC will necessarily involve a change in philosophy and/or use of current players. They will spend all off-season learning a new system only to what? Have to learn yet ANOTHER new system when we bring in Spaz's replacement in 2012???? Make the move now. Coach Flip literally makes $1mm per year to make tough decisions. Retire Spaz... bring in a good young coach... let him instill his own system... watch BC return to the ACCCG.

I believe Rock-O is yet another example of someone on EA who hated the 2007/8 seasons where we tried to be great. Damn... all those wins started getting annoying.

In response to campion... I have been posting on these interwebs boards for like 12 years. My style pretty much hasn't changed. I have an opinion (sometimes a well-informed one) and I deliver it in an unflinching manner. I don't hide it in niceties... never have.

Over the years, I have found that, when my info/opinions are most insightful and most accurate, they are met with the most objections and it is also when my "posting style" becomes a prominent topic of conversation.

Jags/Logan seemed to do alright with players who had been recruited for a TOB/Bible power offense.

The next OC doesn't have to be a younger version of Tranquill. It should be a guy who is able to fit his system to the players he has in the short term while being able to successfully recruit the players he needs to run his own system in the long run. What we need is a coach who has experience in several different types of systems. Ryan Day's star has fallen somewhat in the eyes of many BC fans but the guy has learned under Chip Kelly, Urban Meyer, Steve Logan, and Tranquill among others. He's a guy I think could be very successful, both in the short run and the long run, as our OC.

But... Spaz has said on eleventy billion occasions that Gary Tranquil is the best football coach he has every met.

[eagle9903]

“Things were a little lackadaisical at some parts"...does that sound like someone who clearly gives a shit? He just admitted that he was lazy and he wasn't focused on football (he said one of the things Spaz asked him to do was show up on time). What the article says is that Spaz told him to get his ass in gear.

This clown devalues all of our degrees (the poster not claiborne for any who might be reading comp. deficient). Be glad security turned you away no space

[HJS]

He doesn't devalue my diploma as my degree came from the College of Arts & Science and not the fucking Campus School. You guys all think I am kidding. Simonna really is a Campus School kid. Never understood people getting so worked up over his double-digit IQ postings.

Because this article definitely does not confirm that. In fact, the only thing it really confirms that was previously disputed was the reason for the fight. It is clear from that article it was because TC was being an idiot and Spaz called him out on it"
