@Mr_Larmzda1 I met with Martin.. Tempo time.. Up and down the field..

Take this news with a grain of salt, but Chase Rettig tweeted this out to his teammate Colin Larmond Jr. over the weekend.

There has been a lot of talk about what style of offense Doug Martin would be bringing to Boston College. Would we be treated to a new system like the West Coast Offense or the Spread? Or Could we just expect more of the same? Well according to Mr. Rettig it appears that Martin might be changing things up a little.

Fast and uptempo sounds like the complete opposite of Spazball, and I believe we heard this exact same thing last year with Kevin Rogers (Please respect his privacy). So color me a little skeptical. Martin may come in here with the grandest of ideas, but it will only take one meeting or physical altercation with Spaz for that to change. I can see it already, first game of the season, Rettig throws for 350 yards, which for some reason irritates Spaz who immediately goes to running the ball 50 times in the second game.

I respect our receivers but they don't seem like the type that will be able to go up and down the field. They are undersized and any physical defense will just toss them around at the line of scrimmage. In order for this type of offense to work they need some physical receivers, as we saw this year Bobby Swigert and Alex Amidon won't be able to stretch the field. Yes I am looking at you Jonathan Coleman.

Whatever the truth is about the style of offense BC will be putting on the field in 2012, it is satisfying to see that their quarterback is on board with the new OC's gameplan. Spaz already has a million excuses at his disposal for 2012, and the last thing BC needs is it's starting quarterback transferring.

I'm with you.

Believe it when I see it.

What coordinator would ever say, “We’re going to slow it down. We just want to slow the game down and take up a lot of time off the clock. Scoring is gravy.”

I’m pretty sure Tranquill said that exact phrase in his interview.

Speaking of QB's --Notre Dame

Just signed Gunner Kiel.

Two kids I saw in Fort Worth, one at my kids school Millweard went to ASU!! and this is a small private low level division… and a kid from Austin in the same small private class level Dewey -- to MIAMI!!!

This is 2-3 levels below the 5-A and all these kids ~~including 5-A, -~~-who could easily qualify at BC and incredible BC has no one within two cow pastures down here.

Do you remember the SI article on Texas Qb’s around America?

BC is like the cruise ship of Tuscany.

Spazoo was driving and waving in the Veals on Wheels Lunch Van during recruiting time and crashed.

Lot’s of 5 A Qb’s with stellar skills and could easily make the BC team but Spazoo’s leash doesn’t reach beyond a few areas.

BC IS PATHETIC!

At least Stevie D recruited a kid who will be playing hoops at Wake Forest whom I have seen grow up the last 5 years and tried to brainwash to come to BC.

Danny Green’s, now a 6-10 freshman at Wake, parents both went to UNC and were great role models as parents. Super wonderful people!!

I talked to his Dad at the swim meet this weekend and he was telling me about his grades and adjusting - and that is something maybe BC’s 9 Freshman are dealing with and settling in to freshman life.

All kids should be as lucky as WF’s Danny Green to have those kinds of parents!!

Things for SD and the team can only get better each day.

It’s a small world and sadly, BC the greatest University in the Galaxy, is run by arrogant NO VISION CHEAP Jesuits and Admin’s who simply don’t get it and never will.

I posted my strategy and comments about the spread offense and how BC should play with the talent we have there now and coming in.

Until I see results and performance versus top teams, I’ll stick with my strategy posted here somewhere.

I can understand insulting Spaz(oo), but Jesuits???? The glove has been thrown, friend, the glove has been thrown…

My Polar Opposite

We shall debate one day, but Leahy and the Jes’s have hired GDF and let him ruin the premier, glamour sport and our revenue cash cow including tailgating!

The Heights wasway off base with that former player’s letter accusing GDF of whatever, since GDF is basically incompetent in the one high profile College sport in America.

Leahy and the J’s have allowed this GDF stench despite hundreds of calls to remove Spazoo this October — December and the huge donations fall off and the alumni letter firestorm.

Then the info provided to Leahy and GDF that BC recruiting was DOA since word was out all over America that Spazoo and BC are CLOWNSHOES —LAST SEPTEMBER!!

Look at the latest recruiting lists of high rated soft verbals all selecting to go elsewhere.

One last night on the ESPN crawl made me puke.

BC Football is CLOWNSHOES. Been saying it since the day GDF made his monumental disaster level blunder ultimatum the week before Spazoo was hired!!!

The other aspects of BC culture, education and faculty selections made by Leahy and crew, —well, that discussion is for another site and day.

So many great coaches hired in the last 3 years…UGH!!

THE WORST IS YET TO COME.

My delusion was shattered the day that piddlin’ DC who has been Hail Mary’ed 5X and 3 caught was hired.

Maybe not Jesuits in general, though no other Jesuit school runs a big time football program, so perhaps that’s telling the administration has no idea what it’s doing.

But Leahy and the BOT has to take some responsibility for the current situation. There have been repeated calls to fire both Gene and Spaz and those calls have all fallen on deaf ears. Not much more you can do but continue to voice your displeasure to the administration and withhold Flynn Fund donations and instead donate to the school (or specifically the Pike’s Peak fund, fueling the Jerry York title machine).
