Demoralize PC Saturday

[superjohn]

You and @BigErnMcCracken should read, if you haven't already Don Winslows (for my money the best fiction writer in last decade or so The Power of the Dog/Cartel trilogy was incredible) newest trilogy City on Fire, City of Dreams , and City of Ruins (which will complete the trilogy and will be Winslow's last book ever written and being released this June). It is set through the mid 80's to the early 90's and its main characters are Providence connected Italians and Irish. Lot of south county stuff too. As someone who was in that city a lot then, I love it. Its great.

I've never read him. I texted my brother who has read everything and surprisingly he doesn't have any of his books. I'll make a trip to the library.

lmao well you sure ain’t 21 in this day. When’s the last time you were here?

Boston? Last time I was there was 5 years ago.

I am legit concerned these PC dirtbags try to injure Clingan.

PC Has dirtbags that will try an injure a player? Are you for real?

That's a funny way of saying they have a 2 game home winning streak vs UConn

That was the cooley era when they actually were very tough to beat at home.

Providence is more fun than Boston at that age in my experience.

First I've heard that PC isn't in the city of Providence.

It is a dumpy neighborhood as BigErn points out and I don't think too much of the campus but it's absolutely a fun place and those students party. Only college I'm aware of where the kids go to a mob run bar and hang out with connected guys, well at least that's how it used to be.

Isn't it at the end of Cape Cod? Or am I confusing it with a place that sounds the same?

Until their kids get the measles.

Probably just sun poisoning. Gotta load up on that sun screen

Boston? Last time I was there was 5 years ago.

And I imagine you weren’t clubbing 5 years ago to see what’s changed

When I was here 2012-2015 as a 22-25 year old I had an absolute blast and it’s changed dramatically in my time away in SD

South Florida has gotten loud, crowded and, lately, more expensive. Right now we have tourists, snowbirds and, this month, spring breakers.

And a measles outbreak.

Carter looks it. Every time he gets fouled he winces and grimaces. Did this against UConn also. He's been carrying a heavy load since Hopkins got injured.

He also flops like nobody else in the conference.

Carter has gone from incredibly underrated to incredibly overrated imo

Nah. The kid has had to literally bear the weight of entire program on him this season. I think he’s just spent.
