What? What was wrong with that article? It was very well written and extremely accurate about our situation.

Very factual reporting. Now I can't wait until the Globe does that story on the State University's nationally ranked, undefeated, #1 Lacrosse team. That will be a great "feel good" story for the Eastern Mass alumni to read.

I have always thought that Blaudschun waives the pom poms for BC but that piece is dead on. Very honest assessment of where this thing is at.

But if you didn't like it e-mail him: blaudschun@globe.com

Seemed about right to me, with appropriate subject matter for an offseason article.

This section jumped out at me, no surprise:

Quote:
Wegzyn redshirted last season, although former coach Kevin Morris suggested he burn that redshirt year 10 games into a 5-6 campaign that was going nowhere.

“I wanted to be part of this program moving up,’’ said Wegzyn, whom Molnar expects to battle last year’s starter, Kellen Pagel, for the job. “I knew they were moving into the MAC. I see a program on the rise. I want to help them make a statement, for myself as well as for this team.’’

Wegzyn notices a difference in coaching styles between Morris and Molnar.

“Charley runs a tighter ship,’’ he said. “It’s very professional. You see the difference.’’


So essentially, sounds like Morris was prepared to burn a year of a kid's eligibility for one game to try to save his own job. I assume that would have been the Maine game that Pendagast started and played well before we coughed up the lead in the last five minutes.
