    What does Donahue have to do to keep his job?

    I'm just starting this to give WHR, DONNN, CHEEROH, and UOFNDKING a chance to rant against BC in another discussion. Let's hear it, boys.

    I don't think that Donahue has any worries yet. If he doesn't start to produce W's by the time this years freshmen are juniors, then the heat may turn up on him.

    I'll answer seriously.  He can recruit from the intramural teams and recruit the Fens heavily.  Seriously this BC team might have a legitimate 2 D1 players.  A guy like Lonnie Jackson shouldn't be sniffing a D1 bench spot much less playing in games.   Playing in the ACC is a good thing for them so they can play equally atrocious teams like Gergia Tech, Clemson, Wake, Miami, Maryland, etc... for some easy wins but on a national scale, best advice is to continue to GIVE UP!

    Relevant athletics is an oxymoron. Ironic that you love the Giants, since they have more BC grads on the roster than any other college, plus a former coach.

     He's at least a point guard and a small forward away from having a decent team.  He may have recruited the point guard this year (no one knows) and of course no one knows about next years class.  They are so young and physiclly immature they really don't have a chance this year.  There was a picture of a BC player and a power forward from another ACC school where their arms were locked up going for a rebound.  One arm was a toothpick and the other arm was easily twice as big.  It's boys against men this year but a year or two with a strength and conditioning coach will will even up that disparity.  He's got two full years to show marked improvement.  I like him as a coach but it's still too early to tell if the players are any good.

    What kind of Kool Aid are you drinking?  The team lacks one important thing that a few years in the gym won't help-  TALENT.  These kids aren't D1 talent and honestly, I think a lot of the d2 teams are more talented.

    After seeing what this BC team accomplished this year, one would ponder where your abilities lie. It certainly isn't ingenious?

    I guess I must be on the Kool-Aid too, because I remember that Jim O'Brien's team with Curley, Huckaby, Eisley, and Gerrod Abram as freshmen won something like 9 games and didn't win a Big East game. When they were sophomores, they were a .500 team. By the time they were seniors, with the addition of Danya Abrams, they knocked off Indiana and then #1 UNC to get to the final 8. I'm still hopeful for the current team.

    I  guess you missed my point, but that's to be expected. Hopefully you'll eventually outgrow this impairment. To paraphrase SNL: "This is the life. To be young, stupid, and have no future at all. I love South Bend!"

    none of this current crop of players had the skill level of curley, huckaby, eisley or Abram's.  That latter group would be pretty upset if you compared the 2 groups. That was in the BE, this team plays in a VERY weak league in the ACC with many cupcakes (wake, gtech, clemson, etc...).

    Wow, you really are on the Kool Aid!  I can't believe you really made that statement.  by the way, I have some some land to sell you....

    you know indian, it was a very difficult point to understand.  HA!  While I was able to see that you said there may be some talent, but as they are all young freshman it was "too early" too tell the actual talent level and we will have to wait and see, I can understand how that very complicated point would go over some heads....

    The Kool Aid is a powerful elixir. As for the land, as long as it's not too close to Storrs . . .

    Devine Intervention and, that's a tall order for these junior high scrubs he has assembled! BC will not win 10 games with 5 left in the well!

    Another oops? I think you made a "typo," not to be confused with a factual error. They actually have 10 games left.

    sounds like you need to convince yourself and not me that this current crop of freshman remind you of that other group.  WOW.  we have hit an all time low of stupidity and overly optimistic aspirations for these boards.  What's next?  comparing BC hoops to the Fab Five?

    Prtetty easy; keep doing his job. I'm sure he's not wasting his time reading idiotic comments from mom's basement boy cave dwellars.  The guy took an Ivy League team to the Sweet Sixteen for heaven's sake. He dominated Penn & Princeton for several years. He's about the only thing this BC AD has done right, although it doesn't make up for the way he treated the ex-coach.  He will be competitive sooner rather than later.
