Ill bring it up Cronin

[GoCats1994]

I do not believe that I have ever heard of the term "lawnmower parent." Did Mick just make that up?

This is a real phrase. Most of the time I've heard it used it is meant to indicate something worse than a Helicopter Parent. A Lawnmower Parent is one that clears the path for their child - makes sure there are no obstacles, places where the child might trip or fall or gut hurt in any way.

Mick lost by 46 last night to Utah while only scoring 44. Mick said in the post-game that it was lack of rebounding.

The Utah loss came after Cronin blew-off his post-game radio interview (sound familiar?) following a home loss to Cal; he stayed in the locker room with the players, I guess to scorch the walls.

They got hammered on the boards but shot
31.5% from the field & 50% from the charity stripe.

Seems like a good portion of our fan base has a whole issue with Schadenfreude towards past coaches that leave on their own. It's a bit weird. With the bad coaches I can understand it a bit but Cronin was mostly successful at UC. Same with Kelly and Fickell in football.

I agree Lobot. Mick gave us some very good, exciting years but similar to Hugs, we had too many early exits in the tournament. I wish him no ill will. Same with Kelly and Fickell in football. They both took this program to heights most of us would never have dreamed of when we were undergrads and left the program better off than they found it. Butch, not so much and Tuberville not at all. I wish them all well.

I didn't care for the way Kelly left before the biggest game in UC's history. CLF stayed and it may have cost him the ND job. Then again, there is a seat in Columbus that is on fire and the deep pockets like alums. I took my shots at Mick's coaching, but it was for love of the program and not about Mick. I remember talking to him after the disastrous road loss to Seton Hall. I spoke to George Jackson and Hep too about no defense. It is like family with Mick. We can disagree and get hot, but don't let anybody do it. I didn't like the Senator though.

Cronin skipped the postgame presser and the media tore him a new one this morning.

I really do not care for the author. He seemed to have insulted Cincinnati fans.

Not that anybody is doing it, but I don't find pleasure in Croin's situation. He is a local kid and he gave his all for the Cats.

Bruins lose 66-57 at home to a bad Cal team. The wheels are really starting to fall off in Westwood.

Wow! What a bad loss for Cronin.
