'I'm Literally Ready To Jump Off A Bridge' - We Got Another Incredible Mick Cronin Rant About How Miserable He's Been With Losing (UCLA Won By 24)
God bless Mick Cronin. It's not like I'm a diehard Mick fan or even care about UCLA basketball. He's just the ultimate ranter. There are very few coaches in any sports across the country that can deliver a vintage rant like Mick Cronin. Right now he's on fire. This is drawing a lot of the attention. Talking about flying across the country because college sports conferences don't make sense anymore. Doesn't help that UCLA was in the middle of a losing streak too.
While this is good, it has nothing on him talking about jumping off bridges and making fun of NBA players:
Before I blog anymore, let's just take a look at the UCLA game last night:
This is all after a 24-point win! I get that everyone at UCLA is frustrated, but Cronin saying he's going to jump off a bridge and can't eat, save it for when you lose to a bad team. Again, losing streak, felt like the season was going to waste, I get all that. But Mick Cronin has gotta save his I don't want to be living rant after a loss. We gotta pay homage though. We're seeing an incredible run of content from Mick:
I still don't know how to feel about Mick at UCLA. I know he's a Pitino guy, but he's also the opposite of Pitino. He's not flash, he's not wearing the designer suits. He's a Cincinnati boy who just wants to coach his ass off and go to the track. He needs to come back to the Midwest. I know he made a Final Four with UCLA, but he's as Midwest as it gets.
Got to see the Statue of Liberty twice though. Sure, one of them was a nonconference game and then Rutgers, but that's pretty cool. A quick fly over of the Statue of Liberty is the way to do it. Just incredible Mick Cronin season and even better this is all after a win. Love that he called out Iowa for the 'wear and tear' of having to come to California. Dude is on a heater, let him go.
