Great quote from a Providence messageboard

[JTG]

Oddly enough, it's Butler's fans that I have always despised. I've generally liked their players. I met Shelvin Mack at Martin's Tavern in DC while he was playing for the Wizards. He was very friendly and a total gentleman, never once complained or refused when people walked up to him for a photo. He always smiled politely and agreed.

One exception - Matt Howard. That guy annoyed the hell out of me ... but really only because he never seemed to have exceptional skills, but always played well above his apparent talent, especially against us. It's the same reason that, to this day, I cannot stand the mere mention of the name Brian Cardinal.

JP "is" Matt Howard, only with more talent. But because he's ours we love him.

I cannot stand the mere mention of the name Brian Cardinal.

HA! Blast from the past, I disliked that dude as well.

I heard the NCAA just granted him five more years of eligibility.

Wouldnt surprise me, just extending his record for most years playing a college sport, currently at 7.

I was sitting next to bourbonman at the Seton Hall game and he had a great quote about JP:

"The play isn't over until JP says it's over."
