Oh did Mick have another press conference meltdown? ;)

I didn’t realize Jay Bilas ripped the mickster a new one on Saturday. Good…

OK, New Jersey jokes:

In a progressive move, Mattel is making a new boyfriend for Barbie who's a homeless man from New Jersey
Hobo Ken.

My body is in a disgusting, embarrassing, totally repulsive state right now
New Jersey, I'm in New Jersey.

What are two things you don't pick up in New Jersey?
The trash and the women.

Too soon to know. Patience, Chi, foreplay is half the fun.

Curious what Coach Tampon Applicator thinks of Jay Bilas’s comments…

“Coaches like to talk about accountability a lot — and rightfully so. Accountability’s important in everything, but I don’t think that’s what accountability looks like. That, to me, simply looked like blame. And I heard a lot of ‘I.’ You know, ‘I’m doing this.’ ‘I’m doing that.’ ‘And nobody else is doing.’ And, one, I don’t think that’s true, but that’s for him to decide, not me. But I didn’t care for it.

“And oftentimes when I hear something like that — and it’s not often — I think about what Mike Tomlin of the Pittsburgh Steelers says. And he says, ‘He loves coaches that resist the responsibility of coaching because they’re easy to beat.’ And when you talk negatively about your players, what you’re really doing is seeking comfort because your teaching is struggling.

“I get it. Coaches like to think they’re more passionate and they’re tougher than their players, but I happen to think this is true: Mick Cronin is not tougher than his players. When he was playing, he would not have gotten one loose ball, one rebound against the guys he’s got now; that would not happen. I don’t believe any of that, and I don’t think it’s productive.

“But, if he said the same thing in the confines of the locker room to his players — that’s fine. When you do that publicly, I don’t care for it. Maybe his players do. Maybe they’ll respond positively to it. I just don’t think it’s the right thing to do, but that’s his decision, not mine. I’m just saying what I think of that.”

Gotta admit, I was hoping for way better given your singular potential. Take one more stab at it and if that fails, you can neg yourself, just out of dignity.

Cronin was far more muted in his post game presser tonight. I guess he may have learned something from the fallout from his last press conference.

Isn’t it bad enough I have to travel there for work?

Why did Rutgers change their field from grass to artificial turf?
To keep the cheerleaders from grazing the field at halftime.

Why do geese fly over New Jersey upside down?
Because there’s nothing worth shitting on.

Looks like Mick is not a fan of being in the Big-10. I don't feel sorry for him since UCLA and USC are the reasons the Pac-12 is basically no more.

Hey Mata has actually played really well in the last two games. Happy for him. Even had 7 rebounds which I think is the top of his career. Playing within himself and putting up some points. Glad to see he is not wasting away on the bench. The guy could be good especially on the defensive end.
