The Big East As If Teams Were Beers

Providence Is Bud Light Platinum

Believe it or not, but the Providence Friars are an up and coming program. Ed Cooley has done a great job of bringing in good recruits and then coaching them up like he was the Steve Spurrier of college hoops. It feels like only a matter of time before major sports networks realize this and start talking about the program to the point of nausea.

Bud Light Platinum is pretty neat. I’ve had a few of them during my adventures at night. They taste great and happen to be relatively affordable. At least in my area, though, they are not incredibly popular among the alcoholic crowd. The fella at the end of the bar keeps drinking his crappy Bush beer instead of realizing the awesomeness that is Bud Light Platinum.

I feel like the two of these things (the program and the beer) are going to be forever intertwined. Like the day Providence goes on some wild winning steak and “experts” realize how good of a program Cooley is building is the day beer drinkers realize that Bud Light Platinum is delicious.
