Damn, here we go again. Don't get me wrong. I love this. Because there's nothing better than Big East Twitter. It's the most enthusiastic group that understands how the Internet is supposed to work…most of the time. But now #TheResignation is trending and trending on Twitter because:
It's worth noting that he is still listed as a head coach on the site, and apparently head coaches are not listed in this part of the directory. Whatever, it's a boring fact. We don't want that here. I hope Big East Twitter has a field day because of the parody of his account. This is the same parody account that forced Marquette's senior compliance officer to issue a statement that Tyler Kollek could actually read. The funniest thing about this year's Big East is yet to come.
See all the reactions below Titus Shaw's tweet. #resign. That is wonderful. This is why we need a Big East Twitter. This is what Twitter should be. Bring up fake rumors and use them to make fun of the show's misfortune. We're supposed to crack jokes and trend things like #TheResignation. A year after the committee eliminated Seton Hall, St. John's and Providence from the NCAA Tournament, we're on the brink of the Big East's all-time Twitter record. They might actually bully the NCAA into doing something smart.
That being said, Ed Cooley leaving Georgetown after a year would be the most interesting storyline in college basketball. Does a guy take heat left and right, become a traitor to his hometown school, and then just fall into depression? He will be forced to respect the move. Go get the USC job or something like that instead.
As always, Big East Twitter is fucking ruthless. It's also what makes college basketball the best it can be. Those are just what we need on a slow day like this.
