So what part of that is not defense?


This is the worst-looking press conference I ever saw. What, when you watch a press conference like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh?

Glances at Bates...it looks good on you though!

Saying Al Skinner's teams played defense is only possible if you have seen Onahue coach. That said, recruiting a shot blocker to cover defensive issues is, in fact, defense.

HJS {l Wrote}:I really don't care what Christian says. I largely view him as someone so forgettable that he will be nothing but an answer to a trivia question a few years from now. What I'd like to know about is comments from Bates. Did he talk about his "process"? Did he mention anything about other candidates? Was he asked about the reception he received from fans and alumni as a result of the announcement of Christian?

I think Bates was drunk because he was not making a lot of sense when he talked. No mention about the reception Christian received other than 3 (count 'em) students that stopped by and said hello at dinner. Oh, and a guy named Sully who was his cab driver. No joke.

Apparently the faculty and some of the jezzies like him.

This is the kind of "outside the box" thinking that I'm looking for! Much better than buying ice cream for the band or sandwiches for the maintenance staff. Keep on keepin' on, Coach!

I think it is safe to assume that Hanlan is staying in the draft. The only question is whether Rahon is transferring or not. If Tariq Owens gets released (and if Christian is able to re-recruit him), the kid would start immediately.


If John Cain-Carney comes back to this $hitshow, he may start immediately. :bag

http://bcgavel.com/2014/04/08/christian-reaches-a-dream-vows-his-energy-to-bc/

Christian’s genuineness, astuteness, and sheer passion for the game was undisguised. And though many Boston College hopefuls wanted the basketball-version of Steve Addazio, they might have gotten something better: Jim Christian.


Can't be 100% sure, but the article reads like a good satire.

After watching a segment of the tape and reading the full transcript of the press conference, IMHO we have hired an empty suit.
BC once attracted stars like Abrams, Adams, Agbai, Austin, Bagley, Barros, Bell, Curley, Driscoll, Dudley, Eisley, Evans, Huckaby, Jackson, McCready, Murphy, O'Brien, Rice, Smith, Williams, et al.

Those days are gone.

And who is responsible for that?

The BCGavel piece did indeed sound tongue-in-cheek. What an inspiring start! It wasn't Christian's fault that he accepted a lot of money to come to a better place. The fault was of those who made the offer. How could Bates have exposed himself to such danger?

I'm blaming today's loss on Christian daring to talk to Coach Champion and then jinxing him by talking about going down to Philly to bring back another banner to hang in Conte.
