He is crowing about eligibility in a year where they had 1 half decent win. I really hate this man.

This is the football equivalent of winning the battle but losing the war. Yes it's good they won and became bowl eligible (for the players and seniors mostly) but this now empowers this blowhard to think he is actually a good coach and the program is moving in the right direction. As BSF says they had 1 decent win and 4 of the other 5 wins were against An FCS team and 3 OOC opponents with a combined record of 5-27. (UMass plays Hawaii in Honolulu later tonight).

FWIW the "experts" have them playing in Detroit on Dec 26 against Army. Time will tell.

To be fair if you give him credit for one half decent win, then he gets credit for 2 half decent wins. (Both Wake and NCST are terrible, but they are equally terrible)

Sadly, Army is the perfect matchup for this team, and they'd win that game.

i watched the replay of the game Monday night, since i was playing golf on Sat...Addazio is the college football equilivant of Darrell Johnson, falling out of trees landing on his feet. we win these tight games despite him, and he drives me up a wall

I had a great time at the Pinstripe Bowl, of course watching it from WB's box in the toliet and chowing down on the free food and free Bud Lights helped

I wouldn't go to fucking Detroit on a bet

Well, correct city, different opponent. Daz's steamroller attack would have worked against the much smaller Cadets. Maryland, who knows.

Thank heavens for soccer and field hockey and the Boston market or we would already be Templed

Ice hockey is of course the best pair of programs in the country. Only MN and Sioux are on par, but the ACC has no other players so thats only for internal pride

Your parents are a lot more judge-y than my relatives. [emoji3]

Though taking my 11-year old to Las Vegas for Christmas did raise a few eyebrows.
They're not judgey (dad works in the beer business), I'm just lazy.

Make this stop. Please make it stop.

Just like TOB doing a fake FG in that bowl game. Loser coaches like Daz are playing to get to a bowl game. Once there, they don't care and actually ease up.
A little while ago, I texted my friend "what happened to run up the middle three times, then punt?"

This is just one game, but they spent over a month preparing for it. Here's hoping that Daz's playcalling is more aggressive next year.
