Sean it's because you are a fan of Providence College. It's one thing for us to "take it" from Syracuse or Pittsburgh fans. But it shouldn't be too hard for you to figure out why we get so annoyed by the PC fanbase. The amount of baseless trash talking on our boards from PC fans is just dumbfounding. And it's the same garbage we heard 12 months ago - the new hotshot PC coach is a savior and before we know it, PC will be the best program in New England, since Uconn is clearly on it way down. Go look up the posts from a year ago - they are identical to what is being said today. You guys were delusional then, and another Uconn National Championship later, you're still delusional today.
Once upon a time I would have been dumbfounded by the number of people unable to realize you are just having good natured fun going toe to toe with them. But thanks to the good Lord allowing me to hang around this world for a while I've come to realize that the concept of humor is different for different folks. Certainly some UConn posters understand your motives and in the spirit of good nature one ups manship are playing the same game. But others have a totally different concept of what you are doing. Or if they know what you are doing they find it unacceptable.
Funny, but unfortunately it technically is inaccurate. It would be the combo of sean and the posters response that make boogers. But ignore this correction because your response was brilliant.
I doubt posters can't take it, sean. What you are trying to compare is UConn with Edsall leaving after 12 years. Well, I do believe he was the BE's senior coach at that time. 12 years is a long time for any coach to stay. But, using Joe Mullaney& Dave Gavitt as comparisons to lasting coaches. Yeah, they were good coaches, and lasted a long time, but Gavitt coached in the mid 60's to mid 70's. Mullaney was coach from the mid 50's to mid 60's. That's nice, but it's between 40-60 years ago.
You could be right about your hopes for Cooley, FriarJ. I do agree regarding Calhoun and what he built here. Same with Geno, and to Edsall who, in 12 years brought UConn from 1-AA to a 2 time BE champ and a slot in a BCS bowl. Same can be said for Joe Maronne in soccer and Jim Penders in baseball. Bottom line is the right decisions were made in Storrs over the past 20+ years.
A semi-sane PC post.
You nailed it. And there's nothing wrong with your fans hoping your current coach is the next JC. There's also nothing wrong with hoping you overtake UConn as the best team in New England (or the entire North East - maybe the country), but don't be surprised when UConn fans say it's not going to happen - we still have dreams too.
Yonnick,
Well, gee wiz, Sean, you've arrainged for me to have some new "buddies" and "pals" Thanx.
Sean, my point was until the Uconn Scout board raid, the PC Scout board always had 2-3 anti UConn threads. I would say if you checked the PC Scout board from Jan. 11 through mid August 11 you will definately find plenty of anti UConn threads.
do you really live in Montana? Has it snowed their yet this season?
Their biggest accomplishment is hijacking a championship caliber program's board.
Yes I do and no it hasn't snowed here as of yet but I'm sure higher up in the mountains it has. Kalispell is 30 mi south of Glacier National Park and in the past we have had snow every month of the year.
I do believe I saw a light snow forecast for Thurs. somewhere in the northcentral portion of the country. I'll bet it's beautiful there.
