New neighbor

[UConn990411]

I can’t imagine caring about anything less than “smack talk” from a PC fan.

You would need to go back three decades for PC to total more NCAA tourney wins than UConn had in the Kevin Ollie era alone.

UConn hit a bad batch with KO, Pasqualoni and Diaco. I don’t think it’s going to take all that long to get back to a good place with the leadership now in place.

Providence fans have no perspective of what long term success looks like, so they gravitate to the immediate. It’s all they can do.

Cooley is stuck in March first weekend exit paradise! Still like the dude but until that changes nothing does.

I’m from CT and was an obsessive UConn fan for 9 years before I went to PC. And PC was terrible at the time (Tim Welsh and Keno Davis era). But even if they weren’t, even if I was there now when PC was decent and UConn was.... not.... I still don’t see how the college I chose to go to for practical reasons would change what team I was a fan of at that point. I just never even considered being anything but a Husky fan.

One of the chicks in one of my friend circles at UConn was a huge Cuse fan, to the point where for at least one home Cuse game she was in head-to-toe orange in the middle of our student section

One of my best friend is a PC grad (1974)
He is a loyal PC fan but smart enough to realize that PC can't hold a light to UConn in basketball
At the exhibition this past fall, a bunch of PeeCee fans were giving us crap and he turned around and said - this guy's shirt (pointing to me) says something about a national championship - you and I own nothing like that.
Yes he is a dear friend and a realist

As someone whole lives amongst PC fans I can feel your pain. A delusional group of people who believe that they’re still competing in the real big east. Coach Cooley is a great guy but until PC does anything to earn recognition on a national scale their fans should really be more humble.

FACT: Since PC’s last sweet 16 (1997), UConn has won 4 national championships.

Lucy, that FACT should be on your hat.

4 > 0 ..... have pity on the poor guy

Take after this guy:

This Georgia fan used a P.A. system to wake up his Auburn-loving neighbors after the SEC Championship

My dad and brother graduated from PC. Naturally, they pull for PC (sorry @Balker, not sure how you don't root for your alma mater), but they give respect to UCONN. When we hired Dan Hurley, I got a text from my brother stating he was a great hire and should bring us another National Title.

I was a UConn fan well before I went to college and even though I went to UConn I was going to be a UConn fan first, no matter what. My grad school was Northeastern and I have zero allegiance to the other Huskies.

 

[Devland]

Does his lawn look like Ed Cooley?

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

I thought you were going to say Dan Hurley was your new neighbor. Imagine the insight you would have

You could never find a house that fast!

So our new neighbor, in Guilford CT. stopped by to say hello. He had a PC hat on. We were very cordial to this guy who is about 10 years younger and a PC grad.

I jokingly said that this is a UCONN neighborhood and we might have some fun with the rivalry. He said “there hasn’t been much competition really” in a very condescending tone.

I tried my best to play it off but all could do is picture him bleeding from his eyes and mouth..... well I think I may need medication and therapy.

Am I alone?

NO need for meds or therapy here. It's been known forever that there is a mystical reason PC rhymes with BC with fans of the same ilk. Maybe it would help if in your next conversation it was mentioned as a state we have done our share to make the rivalry competitive. This with both their most successful players of recent history being from CT....

After reading this board this year it is painfully obvious that UConn fans are every bit the losers that PC fans are. Now go ahead and rant and rave about how terrible we are or Ed Cooley’s head or your NC’s but none of it will change that this year exposed almost all of you to what you are; message board losers not unlike any others schools fans. You are not special. You had a once in a lifetime coach who I think was the best ever. He’s gone and despite what you think Danny Hurley will have to catch lightning in a bottle to win another, it’s not your birthright. It’s your history. A damn fine one but it’s history. Hopefully for your sanity you have come to grips with that.

You're sure he wasn't being self-effacing?

Tyler Olander has more national championships than, well, the entire State of Rhode Island.

New meaning to 4>1.....Thanks PC!
