I really hope it’s not serious. We are so thin at LB!

Yeah played a little there earlier this year. I think that was his first tackle though.
Onyx Blackman {l Wrote}:- Who do we have to play quarterback next year?
- Just EJ Perry and his three remaining years of eligibility.
- Last I heard there were four years of eligibility.
- There were.

dtwalrus {l Wrote}:Wade had moments. Looked elusive and with an accurate arm on the TD. Also had what could've been another TD on the pretty damn well thrown ball deep to White. But also had some real bonehead moments and missed some open reads.
I'd say better than expectations, but not by much...and expectations were low. Another week of practice, hopefully some more comfort and confidence, and we should be able to beat Syracuse.
7-5 with all the injuries would be pretty respectable. Also, ending with a Syracuse win would just feal like a pretty surprisingly enjoyable season.

Hey, Rose specs, what was your prediction before season began? Just trying to put in perspective your joy at a 7-5 season ending with wins over UCONN and Syracuse (if that were to happen) as season enders.
See, way I view it was this being year 5, the Dazzler promised competing for league championships. In fact, you have a 4th place team in the Atlantic division. I also see what talent this team possesses that was disabled by some real deficient coaching, especially earlier in the season. What I also see is a team that, assuming Brown's injury is significant, and keeps him out early next season, that we have no known commodity at QB, since the staff either deceived themselves, or deceived us by suggesting that Wade could play QB at this level.
HJS {l Wrote}:I don't believe Daz could ever win 9 games (let alone 10) at BC. I doubt he'll ever win 8. But, as I said at the beginning of the year, he assembled one hell of a talented team by Year 5. That should be acknowledged. With a better coach, we beat WF and NCS. With a better coach and without the crazy amount of injuries, we could've won every game on the schedule.
For those wanting to test Daz's high water mark, everyone who was injured is back next year (except Landry). The OOC schedule is Wisconsin easy. At the end of the day, 8-wins should be the bare minimum. And, for TRE, an extension would be in the offing.
twballgame9 {l Wrote}:PS kudos to the Daz marketing machine selling "BC lost nine starters". Must have heard that 8 times.
claver2010 {l Wrote}:some other things from last night:
not to pardon lichtenshank but that field was atrocious, the size of the divots was comical. we can play every road game there but jarmond better never give up a home game for that
yukon having the power 6 flag & yard markers is pretty embarrassing
on a similar note, that program is absolutely atrocious, with the state bankrupt and the amount students have to pay to support athletics among the highest in the nation wonder how long that program is around

Joy?! I called a potential 7-5 season "respectable" and said ending with wins, effectively a 5/6 ending including wins over Louisville and FSU, would be "surprisingly enjoyable." Don't really thing I'm being too effusive here...
Also, for what it's worth, Daz always said this would be a "5 year rebuild." Not a 4 year rebuild. He never said we would be rebuilt in time for this year. My understanding was always that 2017 was the final year of rebuilding. We'll be ready to compete in 2018. And the roster is as deep and talented as any we've seen since, I don't know, 2009? I'm being intentionally provocative right now, but Daz seems as accurate with the 5 year rebuild promise as he was about the "beautiful" promise.

ATLeagle {l Wrote}:How full were the stands under the awnings? It looked pretty dense.
eagletx {l Wrote}:OK, well I guess we'll have to wait and see. Many questions pending. First things first, can BC beat Syracuse Saturday?
Putting this current season in perspective, you had wins over FSU and Louisville, that were neither world beaters. We lost to Wake and NC St. Now we can debate whether with the talent BC had, whether we SHOULDA' beat them both, but we didn't. In retrospect, one could attribute these losses to coaching. Now here's the rub. With returning talent next year, properly managed, and given the relatively light schedule, BC should be competitive throughout. But, is there reason to EXPECT that BC can overtake Clemson, FSU, Wake, and NC St. next season? How many games will be lost based solely on coaching deficiency? And how does one evaluate what the QB situation may be?
eagletx {l Wrote}:There is talent on this team, yes. There was optimistic improvement in critical areas, perhaps the MOST critical area, the OL. We have a beast in AJ Dillon. All of which suggest an up swing in BC's performance. After all this though, is it realistic to say BC is going to win a championship?
When they compete consistently against teams with better talent ( i.e. Clemson, FSU in our own division) and consistently beat Wake, NC St. Louisville and Syracuse, then you have restored to program to TOB levels of success. Championships? No. Not with this head coach. Not with his history that suggests he more often has restrained and inhibited progress and success, not advanced it. Not with a coach from one year to the next doesn't seem to know what kind of offense he wants to run. Read option? More throw game? Crack the rock? No, year 5, year 6, year 8? Doesn't matter.
claver2010 {l Wrote}:fyi i had his postgame presser on in the background yesterday and he started to talk about conference championships. laid out his 3 goals every year of win the opener, get bowl eligible and compete for conference championships. spoke about it along the lines of, it's time to take that step.
claver2010 {l Wrote}:ATLeagle {l Wrote}:How full were the stands under the awnings? It looked pretty dense.
yeah i was upstairs but was pretty crowded under the overhangs.
any idea why the band wasn't there? too busy at the anti-trump rally downtown? not to pull a nospace but had the pleasure of walking through the antifa vs free speech crowds on saturday afternoon. that was enjoyable
claver2010 {l Wrote}:but as moj said there is no question he has upgraded the talent. this is a team that's 6-5, facing a top 15 sos, lost the best player for essentially the entire season, 4 captains have been out an avg of about 7 games, and lost starting qb.
this is far different than last year's 6-6
