Ed Cooley Is Now Public Enemy Number 1 To Every Illinois Fan - Comes Out Of Nowhere And Calls Them A Bullshit School

I don't know if Ed Cooley is just finally realizing he's the ultimate villain in college basketball and embracing it or what, but this makes no sense. Yeah, Jayden Epps started his career at Illinois, but there's no ties to Illinois for Ed Cooley. Not like he used to coach there and left for Georgetown, nor are they in the Big East. He only leaves Big East schools for Georgetown. He didn't grow up in Illinois, he didn't play there or anything like that. This is just him, out of nowhere, calling Illinois a bullshit school.

Well, Ed, you made a disaster of a mistake. You already have the lunatics in Providence all over your ass, now you want to add another crazy fanbase? Don't get me wrong, Illinois doesn't touch Providence on the crazy scale, but Illini fans will let you know how they feel. Good luck dealing with that and giving Providence even more ammo. The last thing you want to do is give Friar Twitter and fans more ammo to work with. 

Not to mention, you're coaching at Georgetown. Georgetown still fucking stinks. Congrats on beating St. Francis, Mount St. Mary's, Fairfield and Lehigh. A real dangerous group there. And you're talking about Jayden Epps here. He started while he was at Illinois. It's not like he was buried and not getting playing time. This whole thing is bizarre and just more to the downfall of Ed Cooley. He was king at Providence. He was mostly beloved in college hoops. Now he's trying too hard to be a villain and Illinois is ready to attack.
