Plashke Rips Into Cronan the Barbarian for Being a No Show

He has taken plenty of ownership, but these guys are turkeys. There is talk he lost the room, he never had it. These were coddled "pro" euros that were living like rock stars over there without having to bang for it. That does not work here in the US. For whatever reason UCLA completely screwed the pooch with NIL and it bit them, so he completely changed course and went overseas, problem is that other teams are getting 1, maybe 2 guys and they assimilate quickly. Mick brought in something that resembles a "Cheeses of Europe" sampler from igourmet (seriously this website rocks www.igourmet.com) and it failed. UCLA is in real big trouble with sports, like throw a turd into a ceiling fan trouble, and if Mick doesn't do a 180 and ditch these euros he won't make it past next year. He did apologize during a long interview this morning, and explained why he missed the media session after the game, a quick look at that interview will give you all you need to see.

UCLA might be in real big trouble with sports, but they're not doing too shabby against these guys.

The team is sucking balls through a straw, I don't know about any of you, but in real life, when a sales team, the marketing department, production, the gardener, etc. sucks balls through a straw people tend to get mad and call them out. This whole kid gloves, kinder, gentler way of letting people know they are sucking balls through a straw is for pussies.

Cronan the Untouchable???!!!

As you already pointed out with thst Plaschke article, he's certainly not untouchable. He'll get a pass this year because he has seven freshmen on his team, and he's a systems guy. He always has been, even at Cincinnati. If he doesn't get results next year in Big Ten play, he'll be on the hot seat I reckon.

As for his behavior, he's always been that way. If the players respond, great. If they don't, they won't play. It is what it is. He deserves some time to get this right. If he wears out his welcome, like Howland did, he'll be gone.

Don't worry, banjo boy will beat him twice this year and you'll get to masturbate over that.
