By the way, here's an odd story: "Cooley was required to take the SATs four times before the NCAA allowed him to play basketball there. He did not score high enough on his first two attempts, scored a 900 but was accused of cheating on his third test, and finally scored a 1390 on his fourth, supervised test.[3]"

From twice scoring below an 800 to a 1390?

That's wild. That's the wildest jump I have ever heard of! And that was the old test. He scored the equivalent of a 1490 today. Those are Ivy league-caliber SATs.

I know I'll get killed for this but it's such low hanging fruit that I can't resist. Maybe he used up so much brain power jumping 600 points that his scalp caught on fire.

I went a little overboard with my comment John, but a 600 point jump? Went from signing his name essentially to an Ivy League caliber score? That's got to be practically unheard of.

As always, anonymous Internet posters make such classy points. I wonder if you'd have the guts to say your funny stuff to Coach Cooleys face?

You do realize that your Providence board has always said horrible things about Coach Calhoun right? Did you ever admonish the PC posters?

When it comes to PC I keep thinking back to an old episode of 2 1/2 men when Alan thought he was gay. Berta said "life is so much easier once you've figured out if you are the pin or the cushion". PC has almost always (basically all but a handful of their BE life) been the cushion. What is irritating is that a few of their fans will use anything as evidence that their program actually does have a set (Keno & Krew dominating New England was head scratching but that was what they hung their hat on at that time, now it is the focus machine) and behave as if they have every right to stand toe to toe with us (behaving as if they can stand when they pee may be more appropriate) until reality sets in and they then need a new coaching staff as evidence the program supposedly has a set.

I don't know about the rest of the post, but I would say Providence is the Two and a Half Men of College Basketball teams.

I should hope Cooley would be smart enough not to hit a guy who insulted him like that, but who knows maybe he's not.

If Cooley and Jim Calhoun (at his current age) got in a bar fight, Calhoun would win 99 times out of 100.

Honestly Sean, I wouldn't care enough to even speak to Ed Cooley if I saw him in person. I admitted I went a bit too far so get over it. I know plenty of others have asked this already but why exactly do you post on this board so often?

Old and ugly isn't a medical condition so it's ok.
Are you saying old is ugly?
Or are you saying any jokes poked at old people and any jokes poked at ugly people are ok?
Or are you saying jokes could be made only if both metrics are met?

I want to know exactly how I should be insulted!:cool:

If you feel it necessary to make fun of physical maladies; that's your business. Just as its my business to call people out that I find are acting like jerks. If it bothers you; maybe you should look in the mirror

You should quote the person you are having the retort with. Otherwise my post will be confused as the one you are responding with.

Sean, you didn't answer my question. Did you call out the posters on the Providence board every time they said things about Jim Calhoun?

Can't we all just ignore Sean from now on? I mean honestly, everyone knows all he does is come here to get us riled up. NOBODY quote him or respond to him and eventually (hopefully) he will stop posting here. It's not that hard to ignore his posts.

Ed Cooley should have worn a hat.

Wouldn't come close to Ivy League scores without a ton of other criteria.
