Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4906775, member: 974"] I don't understand the vitriol from UConn fans. I get from the friarboys. Once they were the big dogs in New England basketball. They took great players from Connecticut like Marvin (tire iron) Barnes and Bruce Campbell and went deep in the NCAAs. They were in the penthouse. The Big East was formed by their former coach, largely, to protect Providence basketball. And their creation created the monster program that is UConn. Oops. That has got to hurt. It's natural that they have a frustrated fan base that lashes out in anger. They remember. But in matter of fact, Pee Cee matters to UConn about as much as they did when UConn was in the American. I kinda like Kim English. He's not a jackass on the sideline and he has shown some grace in a season that has been filled with bad breaks. As Hurley said in Milwaukee. This is about us. It's not about them or their fans. It's about us. [/QUOTE]
