Didn't see any indication that the "thugs" comment was a joke, and thus it warranted being called a stupid comment. Cronin and UC have a reputation, mostly unfounded, for recruiting "thug" players and so I thought you going after that with your [stupid] comment. Chill out my friend, you're waaaayyy too worked up. 😌 Gosh, you're acting so cool and said my post seemed to be written by a child? And you want me to chill out huh? I'm done.This is waste of my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably does back to that really ugly brawl between UC and Xavier a few years back. My memory has lost the details, but I remember both teams just looking terrible on a national broadcast. I personally remember thinking "thugs" watching that but in fairness, that's the only really ugly incident I recall involving UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of UC 'thugs" I see Nick Van Exel is interested in the Bearcat job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the Bearcats have Darren Savino already on staff as the Associate HC. I wouldn't be surprised if he got elevated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 If I remember right, Cronin actually said and did the right things after the UC/Xavier brawl. It was the Xavier kids that acted like "thugs" and Chris Mack didn't do much apologizing post game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of his players came from Community Colleges and it was abbreviated CC. I swear I truly believed it stood for Corrections Center.
