Ed Cooley is a big fan of the New England Pats and now has another reason to support them.
The Providence team plane was lent by the New England team to help transport staff and fans to Chicago for the Sweet 16 game. The Providence Journal reported that the plane was spotted on the tarmac at T.F. Green Airport. Providence is in the Sweet 16 for the first time in 17 years.
The man who grew up in Providence and has spent his entire career in the Northeast spoke with the owner of the team. The Providence team took a charter to Chicago on Wednesday.
New England teams support New England teams. He looks out for us. It was limited because of how many planes are being used for the NIT.
The coach said he spoke to the owner about his admiration for Brady. New York Giants vice president Frank Mara is a Providence donor.
He thanked the man who lent the plane for his loyalties to the football team.
I don't know how many people would do that for a small college to send a custom plane. I like football. My team is similar to a football team. We are not very pretty.
Kansas is included in the blue-blood programs category. He said Providence doesn't play a lot of traditional powers in the Big East because they don't want to play at their home arena.
They don't want to come to the donut center, let's call it that.
They are the blue blood. They are a win away from the all-time wins in the history of our game. They have earned that. Bill Self is a Hall of Fame coach. An opportunity to play against a No. 1 seed is something that you dream about. We are living that dream and hope to continue to dream it big.
