Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[Dove]

Did you guys know that Tom makes 17 cents/post and 1 cent/like?

 

[Paesano]

Always a pleasure to hear from you, whether you totally miss sarcasm or not.

That's not sarcasm. That's 8893casm....

 

[jrr422007]

this guy was prophetic 3 days and 85 pages ago tbh...little did he know, of course

He posts a lot with no substance

haha

This guy was talking about Miller before the news became public so maybe he's in the know (here you go @8893 and @Deadrody):

Coach Warzu@Chef_Warzu
For the past few weeks I’ve held firm on Miller as next HC because that’s what I’ve been told. Since Wake Forest game at Pete
1:03 PM - Mar 21, 2018

The huge problem for Hurley, if he takes the URI offer of new practice facilities, charter flights, big bump in salary, and all the other points of negotiation that he’s asked for..

Is that how can he ever leave URI when/if he wants to go to a bigger program? You can’t ask for everything, be given it, and then look to leave when a big time opportunity comes along.

I mean, you can of course, but he must know himself well enough to know that, if THIS was a struggle for him, then can you imagine what leaving URI after getting everything he asked for would be?

The best answer at this point in his career is UConn. He gets to continue that upward trend professionally while giving up nothing personally except the good memories he had at URI.

It’s time to move on. If he doesn’t, he’s looking at URI for the rest of his career. There’d be no way he could leave with any grace or self-respect still intact.

Replace Jacobs with Sources say

“I’m hearing that”

Since this has turned into one of the most Epic threads in Boneyard History, I believe the mods should edit the title.

There is no way that anything that goes down in BY annals should have the name "Jacobs" in the title. Its wrong. It just is. And that asshat will think the thread length here is a referendum on how smart and great he is.

@temery
@Fishy


no reason to not remove the name "jacobs" out of this title. It provides no thread value. Hell, even the intitial tweet the thread was based on was removed. That's how lousy the guy is.

I dont want to see this guys name every time I click here.

I just stepped in goose crap reading this. I agree.

All I can say is that I'm seriously relived that Im not the only completely bat **** UCONN bball person in the world. Thank you all for sharing this psycho ride with me.

 

[tentoes4rings]

Hurley is more indecisive than my wife.

Can your wife coach?

It's actually quite refreshing to remember how rabid we are... With Hurley or without, we're gonna be ok.

It's been a rough waters few years here, but when the new coach is named, and we right this ship, we'll be [insert interesting boat metaphor].

 

[HawkHusky]

Hurley will get that URI practice facility for his 75th Birthday.

Since the train went off the rails, we have seen a massive jump in posts from people with fewer than 20 posts. The more interesting cases are the ones where people joined 3, 4, 5 or even 6 years ago and still had like 10 posts. Maybe people see this as a critical time? Maybe they are more fans of Ollie than the program? Dunno. But interesting...

 

[UCDaveD]

I still don't see how URI can just agree to a practice facility. Look how long it took us to get it done. It's not like they can just go "Alright, sure. We'll break ground a week from Monday."

[Urcea]

maybe i'm not a big rhode island guy, but i don't know. i can't imagine being presented with a better job, more money, not having to move on one hand, and then on the other hand being told i'm going to have a new practice facility in 2027 or so. that wouldn't do it for me

I wish the clicks in this thread translated to asses in the seats on a January game at XL vs. ECU.

 

[ivrytontusker]

Surely we can land Miller for $100,000.

What is "sailing?"

agree here. have to put out the bid on design, approve a final design, put out the bid to build, work with unions, get permitting for a massive facility, all in the state of rhode island. i'm not kidding when i say (as i said above) late 2020s as a fair bet. any labor/political disputes or controversies with bidding means later than that

 

[tzznandrew]

You tell me. Is it something the young kids are doing now on Snapchat?

 

[Urcea]

since we haven't had a nonsense unnamed source in a few pages

And then with what money?
