Schedule PC

I would love to see a providence home and home. They were not a priority over cuse, nova and gtown - but now that those are done, this is the one I want to see happen next.
 
Cooley said some really nice things about the UConn MBB brand and KO. He also revealed a little of PC's negative recruiting we have been hearing - UConn is spending its money on football and not supporting basketball and UConn's in a bad BB conference etc. First time, I have heard him say that publicly.
Cooley also said KO and him have had some talk about a game. With the Drummond vs Dunn posse flare up at Shrine, PC's negative recruiting while they are patting you on the back and KO/Cooley friendship - let's get it started. JC is spending increasing time in RI - so it would be in his wheelhouse.

When Providence was good they would never play UConn. Why is this even a thing?

I remember the 60s and 70s - only time UConn got on the floor with PC was in the NIT/NCAA
UConn was dying to play PC but PC stuck their nose in the air
Payback is a b*tch
I feel we owe that school squat - screw regionalism - let's go back and play an old Yankee Conference foe - URI
Expand ...

We don't owe them anything but I would love to kick their butt. URI as well. And now that JC's home away from home is RI - why not?
We can have a adult beverage after the game and retell the Tate /Murdoch stories, and replay JC's Ryan Gomes presser. Doesn't get better than that. LOL

PC was once better than UConn.

I did not know that.

Of course, I'm only in my 50's

Don't know if he still is but JC was not only an inductee at the BB HOF but on the board of directors.

I hear you Chiefoo but I despise PC
JC is situated nice where he is in RI but I miss him in Madison and when I told him so he just laughed (I don't think he liked Madison CC and Pat ran out of new shops!!!)
Would love a rivalry with URIne but PC can keep their hockey team and sink into the sea - would rather play Brown if had to play Providence based team
 
Back in the old BE, PC was not one of the teams that I looked forward to seeing UConn play. And by that I mean PC did nothing for me.

Syracuse, Pitt, St. John's, Georgetown, Villanova, yes, and in that order. PC was there with BC, West Virginia and Seton Hall. Rutgers, Va. Tech and Miami, even less interest.

The hate runs deep in this one. Hopefully Cooley can help fuel it for you. Btw, doesn't hate sell tickets? You guys don't seem to grasp your attendance issues.

If we had a football team you would love playing us like Holy Cross and whatnot. I'm starting to come around to this. We've made our beds so to speak...

It's closer to the Cape so Blaney can come over and beat JC in golf. His new golf club and living quarters are very nice.

Where I differ from some other UConn fans - I love playing and beating teams that we hate.

I don't really hate them in the true sense of the word. To develop rivalries you have to create foils - JC was a master at that. In this thread I named several including Drummond and Dunn's security posse's coming to blows @ Shrine. The JC Ryan Gomes presser and the Tate George / Eric Murdoch feud. We have more than enough to create that sizzle.

This is a bigger factor than some may want to believe.

it is simple. You are too good for us in basketball but your football team which is your path to glory and riches plays Holy Cross and other juggernauts. Good look with your chosen path. Fans don't want to play us because we are not good enough. Great, we will just putter along and do our thing. I have mentioned the butts in the seats things many times and it never even elicits one response. You guys don't need attendance $ because you have football $ apparently. Good luck.

I'm not a historian but did UConn ever play PC in a meaningful game? Ever? BE Finals or winner win the regular season?

I don't know that UConn fans would be that excited to play PC.

I get that your fanbase is fired up coming off that magical run to the round of 32 a couple years ago but I honestly don't think UConn fans much value that once in a generation win like you guys.
 
PS: You can argue that Dunn's accomplishment was greater than Shabazz or Kemba because of the last 25 years, its 4 times tougher for PC to win a NCAA tourney game than it is for UConn to win a NC.

So you have that going for you.

Even the best football schools play a cupcake. UConn has Virginia, BC, Missouri on the slate coming up in addition to ranked teams like USF. PC is playing the Moses Brown school, and the oddsmakers favor Mosses Brown.

I'm going to answer this even with your douchey response. 1994 BE Semifinal. The teams played a couple dynamite games that year. Kevin Ollie won one on a drive at the buzzer.

Nothing this century?

And I didn't look it up but I find it hard to beleive PC made it to BE semi final. That's seems more like a science fiction plot...

Part of being a PC fan is thinking reality is douchey. Embrace it.

While that might be how you feel the facts don't back that up for the rest of the fan bases. Each game home and away was always sold out with a lot of opposing fans at each game. UConn used to march an army into the Dunk for those games and now you can't even sell out your own conference games with 20,000 students attending school. Sad...
