Smart Morningside Manor
At 1705 Merton Road in Atlanta, Georgia sits a beautiful brick Tudor home amid lush green gardens and the tall pines of Morningside Park. On a huge corner lot that it has occupied for more than 60 years this home displays the best of mature landscaping and historical style. State of the art technology upgrades have been added to create a “smart home” residence of inimitable character and appeal.
The grounds are breathtaking. Stone pathways navigate around brick columns and walls and through a wonderful variety of seasonal and perennial foliage anchored by a decorative fountain in the rear. A stone paved rear patio attached to a covered outdoor patio with sunlight in a tongue and groove ceiling and integrated grill is the perfect place from which to enjoy these beautiful natural surroundings.
Inside the home, luxuriant style and design are apparent from the moment you venture through the portico front entrance into the formal foyer. Dark hardwood floors on the main level are met by a meticulously milled dark natural grain staircase and elegant moldings. The great room features a wall of windows, coffered ceiling and exquisitely sculpted fireplace. Squared and arched room transitions alternate as you move through the open floor plan of the main level.
The gourmet kitchen features a large central island with a granite countertop and produce basin and mini cooler. Stainless steel appliances and an integrated refrigerator are also present amid custom display cabinetry, granite counters and tile back splash.
The formal living and dining rooms receive natural light from large windows which further enhances the dark hardwoods.
The huge master suite is carpeted and features a large sitting area. The master bathroom is beautifully tiled with separate dual vanities with single slab marble counters and a leaded glass window over a garden tub with custom marble trim.
The home also features a walk-in wine cellar, a state of the art media home theater and a study with gorgeous built-ins. Outdoor lighting and sprinkler systems are smart controlled as are the climate control, video security and multi-room sound systems.
It is hard to imagine finding a home of this age in this area with absolutely nothing left to do. With six spacious bedrooms, the home still has enough room to be able to offer a rare flexibility for a variety of configurations. Privacy luxury and location combine to present to you the ideal residence at 1705 Merton Road in Atlanta, Georgia.

BC-Louisville preview
What's on my mind (not totally related to this game)
Some people are viewing the youth movement as Addazio throwing in the towel on the season. I don't. But if BC stops competing in games and losses all the games the rest of the way, Addazio and Bates are in big trouble. I don't think BC fan expectations are too high, but we are not a "lovable loser" fanbase. People (myself included) will be outraged by 3-9. Fundraising will be an issue as will ticket sales in 2016. You can preach patience and development but you better compete and win on occasion.
Three Simple Keys
1. More designed runs for Smith. I am not sure why they are not doing this. Maybe they fear injury. I don't know. But we need him to run the ball more. Even if it is not successful, the threat of him running will open up other things.
2. QB pressure. The defense is dependent on it. Last week the front four couldn't do it on their own. We need them to step up this week.
3. Don't play field position. Addazio's inclination to punt in the opponent's territory is comical at this point. We need to be more aggressive. I would rather see Hail Mary's into the endzone than a punt.
Gambling Notes
-- Addazio is 6-7 on the road as BC's coach
-- Petrino is 27-4 at Papa John's
-- Petrino is 6-5 in ACC games
The current line is BC+7.5
Factoid
Other than Louisville, BC has played two other Kentucky-based teams (Centre and Kentucky). Yet Louisville is the only program we've played in the state of Kentucky.
Scoreboard Watching
Duke goes to Virginia Tech this weekend. We're about to face the Hokies. They've been a hit or miss team this year. Will they show up next week at Alumni? I don't know. Let's see how they do against Duke.
I hope to see...
a long rushing TD. How has this not happened yet against a real team? Teams are still crowding the line. We still have some speed backs there. What we need is one guy to plow through.
BC is in trouble if...
We cannot control the clock. I don't like Addazio's mindset of always controlling the clock, but I think it is needed this week. It would also imply one or two long productive drives.
Bottom Line
I don't feel great about this game. While I think Smith will get the offense moving, I do think Petrino will find ways to attack this defense. I think it will be like Clemson with plenty of deep passes connecting, but with BC forcing even more turnovers. I think a late pick seals the must win for BC.
Final Score: BC 21, Louisville 17

BC-Duke preview
What's on my mind (not totally related to this game)
Addazio talked patience in his media appearances this week and there is also plenty of fan chatter about lowering expectations. I find all of it premature and a little disconcerting. Injuries happen. Having to play young QBs happens. Collectively we had low expectations for Addazio's first two seasons and his teams performed well. Now, in Year 3, why can't we expect him to do well again? We are already have three wins and have one of the best defenses in the country. Even with sloppy QB play, we should compete with every team on our schedule and still finish at .500 or better.
Three Simple Keys
1. Connect on at least three play actions passes. There were so many open WRs last week biting on our runs. Those plays should be there this week. Whoever is QB needs to hit the open men (in stride). It will lead to some huge plays.
2. Let them have the short stuff. In order to avoid our pressure, I think Duke will try to dink and dunk it down the field. I have no problem with that. It makes big plays less likely. Field goals will be iffy in this weather. And I think we are very capable of forcing turnovers on short passes.
3. Redzone scoring. Kicking is always an issue. Heavy wind and rain won't make it easier. BC needs to capitalize with touchdowns any time we get near the endzone.
Gambling Notes
-- Cutcliffe is 1-1 against BC
-- Addazio is 3-3 in October as BC's coach
-- Addazio is 4-4 in ACC road games
The current line is BC+6.5
Factoid
BC won its only game in Wallace Wade Stadium.
Scoreboard Watching
Notre Dame at Clemson is probably the biggest ACC game of the week and are arguably the two best teams left on our schedule. I am hoping one team exposes the other and gives us hope for our contest later in the season.
I hope to see...
A big Jeff Smith TD run. I know there are plenty of Flutie fans out there. I don't dislike the kid, but I just think Smith is a better fit for everything we are trying to do. If he makes a big play, I think Addazio will roll with him and the offense will finally have some identity. Flutie feels like a square peg in a round hole.
BC is in trouble if...
They give up another non-offensive touchdown. This defense can cover a lot of mistakes but they can't stop points given away on a turnover or Special Teams screw up. If it happens against Duke, it will cost us the game.
Bottom Line
I started off with the broken record analogy...well maybe it applies to bloggers too. I just feel this is the week where we figure it out on offense. I think the OL blocks well, Smith and Rouse cross Duke up on the option stuff and BC controls the tempo and score.
Final Score: BC 17, Duke 9

Olivier Hanlan's early struggles have disappointed some Jazz followers. If he cannot get more play in the Summer League, he's probably headed for the D-League.
Jay Paterno reached out to BC about staff jobs in the past. This came out as part of his lawsuit against the NCAA. He's been rejected by a number of Power 5 schools as well as James Madison. It is unclear if he talked to BC under Spaz or Addazio. As far as I know, Jay never enabled or ignored Sandusky's crimes. HE probably deserves another chance to prove himself as a coach. I don't see it happening at BC though...Addazio seems pretty committed to hiring from his own network.
