Oh, come off it. Everyone knows they why they are called B(l)oB.
If you don't, try taking a ceptor or something into their space and seeing what the reaction is.
BoB have an almost Hive-like mentality. Lots of worker bees in T2 battleships, being told exactly what to do and how to do it by the FC's.
They have great FC's, of course. But actually being a standard member requires no real talent, short of fitting your Mega with 425 II's and Spike and doing what you are told.
Actually about 3 months or so back we did a nice little excursion to Delve. There were only about 6 of us and what amazed us was just how little hassle we got. Maybe the main people were off fighting somewhere but we spent about a week there in HAC's and Inty's and did surprisingly well. Did well enough for a couple of BoB guys to start running their mouths off in local about how they had no "respect" for us since we used EW on em. Somehow though I have a feeling it wouldn't be as easy now as it was then 
Wow, things must have really changed sense the last time when I went on raids into Delve. We would come in +10 gangs and kill a few of them and about 30 minutes into the raid, we would have about 30 BoB come after us very quick. 50/50 chance that we would make it back in one piece, but then again whats the fun of raiding unless there is a fight

Shortest SirMolle thread I can recall tbh...
I think BoB may find, like the germans did in WOII fighting the Russians, that high quality units in small numbers might have a very tough time against an oponent that has loads of cannonfodder and is willing to sacrifice it.
Now wait and see how the fighter tactic will hold up, actually quite a smart idea if the focus of your aliance lies in industrial activities... (no clue whatsoever if it is actually worthwhile, just think it is clever)
To remain unbiased, it seems BoB is fighting skillfull as ever.

While I do agree with you on the fact that using fighters is a good idea if you have the industrial backbone to support it, let me give you an example of the kind of numbers we are talking about here.
Over the period of a couple of hours a week or two ago, we killed 50 - 60 fighters (estimated) for the loss of a single dictor. Thats 1.2bill isk / minerals, however you look at it. Fighters are extremely easy to kill, and don't have the AI to tell them to use transversal, or any of the other techniques you can teach your actual pilots.
The fact that ASCN has resorted to fighter bombing in T1 frigs, instead of improving their overall skill when it comes to fighting, is a step in the wrong direction. Now is when you need to be improving most, and instead a strategy has been devised that looses you billions in resources while gaining you no experience at all.
In my opinion (however little that means), it is possibly the worst decision to date. HC have moved from starving there pilots of experience by blaming external influences for all shortcomings, to replacing them with NPC fleets.
