Interesting since we played them just a couple of years ago.

Wife Providence. Daughter TCU. Perfect.

Dad played hoops for Providence back when the tournament had 24 teams. My sister and I ended up Horned Frogs.

Who is your Dad? I grew up there.

Found out about 10 years ago all of the Providence games were on TV. A friend sent me a bunch of these clips and I got to see him play for PC for the first time. Pretty Cool!

Holy [ Finebaum ]-that team was great.

I know Jim Benedict-he went to my church.

More importantly-I shook hands with Jimmy Walker when I was a 6-7 years old. They guy was unbelievable. Way before his time. (I'm sure you know he is Jalen Rose's father). I saw him play at Alumni Hall so I bet I watched your dad.

We need to connect at that game. My wife and daughter are already going back and forth.

That would be awesome. Hopefully I can make it out there as I live in Fort Lauderdale. Yes, I knew he was JR’s dad. Sucks he recently passed away (can’t believe it was 15 years ago).

Some great players at PC when my father was there. He was lucky to play with and against so many talented players. Had amazing coaches in Mullaney and Gavitt.

That menu looks delicious! I’ll take it!

Is Providence the school that has the creepy looking priest as a mascot?

Seems like this whole thread is about being PC. The PC crowd really grinds my gears.

Why?
My PC father sent and paid for 2 of his kids to go to TCU. May be a bigger Horned Frog fan than Friar.

I think they share that distinction with Wake Forest.

Providence

Wake Forest. The Providence Friar looks a bit like a Junior Leaguer who just got home from the Botox doctor.
