Only gripe is that I wish he would stop referring to St. John’s as a head scratcher and clunker right before we play them in their building.

That's fair. Definitely bulletin board material for them. But we're so much better than them, and have so much revenge on our mind, that it better not matter.

Would usually agree here but SJU team has been posting way worse things about each other recently.

It was a home loss, and we were heavily favored. It's openly a head scratcher. I don't get the gripe.

It’s actually not a head scratcher at all. We had just played teams 1-4 in the conference consecutively, 3 of which were on the road. It’s the perfect let down game, and we were a rattled team.
 
Thank you for getting this up so quickly. As soon as I drop the boys off and hit the couch it’s up.

I may be in the minority but I didn't love his comments. Even if there is a hint of truth to it, I'm not sure he should be the person pointing it out. Seems a little out of his lane. Worry about Providence. Seems a bit petty after a loss and had a backhanded compliment wrapped in an insult kind of vibe to it.

It's hard not to like Ed Cooley. What he says is really good here. I find sometimes I get arrogant about the success at UConn, but I usually catch myself before I go too far and appreciate like he says and do whatever you can to support the team to help them get more.

UConn-PC is a great New England rivalry. As much as it would make me want to eat my liver to lose to PC or to Creighton, these rivalries are great, exciting, and entertaining even if losing to them hurts some. But the real pain is being in the AAC playing the likes of Tulsa, Tulane, East Carolina, South Florida with the apathy and indifference towards those games. I have said this before in other posts, but it really keeps things in perspective.

I didn't take it that way, but I can see your point of view on this. I wonder how many other UConn fans would take it this way that you did.

The Friar way??? Sounded like he was lecturing a fanbase and a program(one that has accomplished a lot more than PC or him) when it isn't really his place? Came across like sour grapes. Boeheimesque. I usually don't mind Ed and think he is a solid coach. Thought he got a little emo and too much into his feelings here. Take the L and get on the bus back to PC. If Hurley said that stuff about PC half the UConn fanbase would have a coniption.

Although it would never happen, probably because he isn't aware of it, but he should probably address some of the PC fans. A lot of them after the UConn game in Providence, which I attended, were d-bags, most of them were not however. They were saying F UConn blah blah blah. Not that I was offended per se, I wasn't, but goodness they have some hatred and little brother syndrome. Appreciate the rivalry PC fans-UConn adds much needed value to the Big East.

I find Cooley very affable, but screw those comments. Don't get arrogant and appreciate winning is good advice, but saying "that's what an educated fanbase appreciates, and that's what the Friars do." Let me roll my eyes. They just had to stop a game for their AD to come on the PA and tell their fans to stop throwing beer cans on the court, right?

Yeah that's right, the Villanova game this past Saturday I remember seeing that. "That's what the Friars do" I must have missed that part. That certainly isn't true for some segment of that fanbase. Cooley won't do it and I understand why, but his message should also be directed at the Friar fans.

I listened to it again and I missed that very last part about "that's what the Friars do". Yeah he should left that part out.
 
What was the question that Cooley was answering with those comments? He is not wrong about this fanbase being spoiled but it is a bit odd to hear him saying that, knowing the question would give it context.
