I couldn't help myself and dropped more money than I would like to admit to get into the Dunk Jan 27.

Witnessing first-hand an entire state's worth of vitriol for 2 hours will be worth it

I am thinking about getting tickets to that game, too. Are you going to wear UConn gear for the game?

Did you get it from Providence or a second hand site? I feel like I know the answer, but I thought I would ask.

The game is really about PC-Cooley so I will probably not wear any team gear. Not looking to troll on this occasion. I got my ticket from the secondary market. Prepare for sticker shock

That was absolutely brutal. For a minute I was amazed that the conference would allow that to be put out there, given that the dude's still in the conference. But I'm thinking it's actually just brilliant for the drama and publicity.

Every gritty thing you've heard, it's there and mostly unfiltered. Lots of Fanta. Watch it. I'm basically afraid to watch the rest of these.
 
Lol. "This dude is like a scum bag. He is a scum bag, he is a scum bag. I've called him Hitler and I don't think it's inappropriate. He's basketball Hitler."

It tells the story of his rise, betrayal, and eventual residing in Georgetown. It is told through a 53 year season ticket holder, a PC faculty member, a Scout message board poster and big PC fan who lives in Providence, a current PC student, the Casual Hoya guy and another Georgetown fan, as well as John Fanta. It also shows Ed Cooley’s own damaging words time and time again. It’s absolutely brutal.

Finally there is a great clip of a Kemba game winner in the BET.

Yea Cooley looked terrible in that doc. In the end idk if he’ll think it was worth it

All he had to do was say I’m having some family problems, step away for a year get his life together and come back somewhere. The route he chose and the lies and the destruction of a team shows the scumbag he is. Many players on the squad last year won’t speak to him including Ed Croswell. This documentary is the just desserts we have been waiting on, before Saturday. Finally someone with the courage to show it for what it was.

He could've left for Georgetown, he would've looked like a major bulls^^t artist but it wouldn't have been all that awful if he handled it the right way. The guy is a scumbag and tanked a team that could've done damage in the tournament and then intentionally twisted the knife several times. He handled it the worst way possible and was vindictive in doing so.

He's a selfish scummer and he was holding PC hostage every year to up his salary. It was all about him but his arrogance made Providence level up and take the program more seriously than they previously had. In the end it worked out for you, Kim English will be good and you have a great practice facility and NIL. Plus you all get to cr@p all over Cooley once a year.

I ended up deleting this post because I started to watch the video, but thanks for the reply. Truth be told I started with only about a third of it to go, but it is freaking incredible. As a Friar fan, it has to be somewhat vindicating to see this all laid out on film.

You are right, Cooley has got to be ballistic over this. Is it possible that they did this without his permission? I mean they must have, because there's no way he greenlight this. He looks like a complete horses ass in it. Of course, that's because he was a complete horses ass.
 
For what it's worth the guy that I quoted, Matt LeBeau, is freaking awesome in the video.

Here is a post from his Twitter account:

Best part starts with our good guys appropriately destroying PC about 32:00, then their fans’ gloves come off. Old guy’s the best to me, especially his facial expressions, eyes, and words. Cooley will be destroyed in Providence.

He and his son both post on are board. I agree his eyes, he was genuinely hurting about the whole thing.

I am not doubting you or questioning you, but how do you know that players from last year's team won't speak to Ed Cooley? Do you know the players personally or have connections to people that do know the players? Keep in mind I have not watched the video yet.

I have been told of others but I only mentioned Croswell because of a series of tweets. He posted a picture of the road ahead through his windshield. Someone asked him if he was going to see EC and his was reply was laughing emoji’s and something like not a f chance.

What say would the conference have in it? Who is the person behind the "Big East Films" account? It's obviously not officially produced or anything.

I don't know. That's a pretty well made video.

Agree. The amount of old clips gathered, some very direct and perfect in each moment, is mind blowing.
 
I don’t have a dog in this fight, and I’ve disliked both Cooley and Providence fans since about 2012. But, that thing really veers into some bad fan fiction type vibes at times.
