An Irish mma star
Or the ucla coach
Great coach, sure. Lefty douchebag? 100%. I heard him interviewed and his comments were about how California is so far ahead of other states, he said laughing while giving a terrible covid take. Extremely condescending to middle America. You know, like how someone living in SoCal normally sounds. The normal "coastals are smart, everyone else dumb". I never had an opinion on him until hearing that interview yesterday. Hope we kill them and bad things happen in his life. Immature? Sue me.
Cronin is in the cross fire now. He s going down and then we are E-8 bound.
I know of at least one coastal so calite that isn’t very smart!,
Haha certainy don't mean everyone. I've spent plenty of time in CA and folks are generally friendly in my experience but the irony lol. Anything outside of their immediate area is foreign policy yet us dummies down south are ignorant lol.
This was a while back but I’m sure he still has the same beliefs. Sounds like a good dude.
After a Xavier - Cincinnati brawl:
Cronin told his players they could not put their jerseys back on “until they have a full understanding of where they go to school and what the university stands for and how lucky they are to even be there, let alone have a scholarship.
“I made everybody take their jersey off, and they will not put it on again until they have a full understanding of where they go to school, and what the university stands for, and how lucky they are to even be there, let alone have a scholarship, 'cause there's a whole lot of kids that can't pay for college."
"They're all sittin' in there with no jersey on. Some of 'em, I physically took 'em off."
"Toughness is doing the right thing in life. We talk about -- that's what we talk about. So if that's the case, you're being provoked, or this or that true toughness, you walk away. You take your ass-whipping and you go home. And you get better."
"Certain people want to act a certain way? That's on them."
“These guys, very few of them are ever going to make a dollar playing basketball. They are here to get an education at two great universities and they need to appreciate that. The world don’t revolve around them, around basketball. They need to learn how to act. They need to have respect for the fact they are on a scholarship, that people come to see them play. That’s just the facts of college athletics.”
“There’s too much glorification of all of sports in our society. The fact is, guys are here to get an education. They represent institutions of higher learning. Xavier has been a great school for years. We are trying to cure cancer at Cincinnati. I go to school at a place where they discovered the vaccine for polio and created Benadryl. I think that’s more important than who wins a basketball game. And our guys need to have appreciation for the fact they are there on a full scholarship. And they’re there to represent institutions with class and integrity … I have never been this embarrassed.”
"My players, they need to handle themselves the way I expect the University of Cincinnati basketball team to handle (themselves), regardless of the situation they're in. Period. Represent our university. That's what I was hired to do six years ago. And that's what will happen as long as I'm the coach, whether we have five guys on the team on Monday, or 10 or 13. There's enough guys out there that would appreciate the scholarship. I don't care how good you are."
"That whole scene is just an embarrassment. Guys think they're way too important in the scope of what's going on in the world. It's not professional sports."

I just went from not having an opinion to not liking him. Then I continued reading and saw what he said after an altercation and he sounded like a guy with some common sense. So I’m conflicted.
Uncle Fester almost beat the Zags. I want one of those Juzang guys on our team.
