That(no apostrophe)s stupid for the same reason as the overall comparison. It(no apostrophe)s more difficult to recruit after the program has been ruined than while it(no apostrophe) is in the process of being ruined.
Okay Kelsey no-Grammar, humor me. Name a quantifiable thing Daz could do that would make him worse than Spaz, if losing more games, recruiting crappier players, and putting less butts in the seats don't count. Or is your argument that Spaz is just so singularly bad that no one could be worse...
A few easy ones come to mind:
1) Wins vs. Ranked Opponents: Spaz = 0, Daz = 1
2) Wins vs. Top 10 Opponents: Spaz = 0, Daz = 1
3) Wins vs. Opponents w/ Winning Records: Spaz = 4 in 4 years, Daz = 6 in 3 years.
Of the 16 wins against FBS opponents compiled by Spaz, exactly 4 came against teams that would finish the season with a winning record. Consistently beat Wake, NCST, caught UVa and (still terrible) Duke in the coastal a few times. Garbage record.
I'm not pressing this point to defend Daz. Only a fool would say either has been anything but bad. I'm pressing the point because no BC fan anywhere at any time should ever make light of the horror of the Spaz years. There was nothing good during those years. I don't care what statistics you can pull out of your ass.
I'm not pulling statistics out of my ass you imperious clod. I'm telling you what I see and I know what I'm talking about. I personally attended every home game in the Spaz era but for two. Having realized that was a waste of my time and money, I've still been stupid enough to watch every single game of the Daz era on TV, or oftentimes, in infuriating fits and starts in 144p on ESPN-flipping-3. The team is crap now just like it was crap under Spaz. One win over a team that had 50 scholarship players, an alcoholic coach, and a wildly inflated ranking based purely on brand strength may have been exciting at the time but in retrospect it was very clearly fool's gold. I don't even care if the team is bad. I can live with bad. I've been living with bad for almost ten years. What I saw last week wasn't bad. What I saw was Howard. I can't live with Howard.
