A New Enemy: Brad Underwood Isn't Going To Waste His Time With Ed Cooley, Knows Illinois Fans Are Taking Care Of The 'Bullshit School' Line For Him

Yesterday we saw the start of a rivalry.

Not when you’re Ed Cooley and call Illinois a bullshit school.

Again, this was a random shot over Jayden Epps starting his career there.

you’re able to argue about if Illinois grabbed him late over Providence, whatever.

Probably why he apologized on Twitter:

That tweet is basically the SID/PR department thinking it will work.

You just gave both fanbases a reason to pile on all year.

Now, let’s see what Brad Underwood had to say:

Extended version:

Perfect.

Nope, too busy making an NCAA Tournament.

Then he says the thing that sticks out.

He basically tells Illinois fans to have at it.

Go to war with Georgetown.

All I know is this needs to be a nonconference game next year.

Give us a game in Illinois, no one shows up to Georgetown games.

Give us this random ass rivalry and let the fans go at it.

Actually, play the game in Providence, neutral site.
