I've heard this - are you hearing that Pitt is a threat to land him?

Danny is a huge family guy. Hopefully his desire to keep his family in the area is strong. A lot closer to Jersey at Storrs than at Pitt.

Just trying to talk myself into this.

Just trying to make myself feel better.

The traffic from Pittsburgh to NJ is far better than it is from NJ to CT... trust me, I live in PA now and going home is a nightmare bc of the traffic!!!

What side are you on?

Let's do this.

You leave Pittsburgh and I leave Glastonbury at the same time and see who gets to Jersey City first. You can even pick the start time.

No way I lose.

Of course Hurley is likely to do the one hour flight from Pittsburgh, as opposed to the 6 hour drive.

I'll double the stakes and have UConn'Phil' do the driving from Hebron. It's like 45 minutes to Rt 2. We'll still have been at the Bada Bing for 90 minutes before anyone from Pittsburgh gets there.

Jeez this is going to get so silly but screw it - it's kind of fun.

But honestly, my buddy at the UConn AD says it's 100% in on Hurley right now and the worst kept secret ever. They're not even trying to hide it. They made him a monster offer. Cash is nice, but benefits are stuuuuuuuuuuuupid. They feel really, really, really good about it. Rumor is - he's coming here - or he's staying. Pitt isn't on the table. He loves it in Rhode Island to the point where he's not sure he wants to leave.

Which - if that's true, I'm not even mad about. Nice to see a guy care about what he's built. Although I'd love him here. I don't think that once he's here, that he'd leave.

I live in Glastonbury now. Moving on up in the world, if moving up in the world means living in the upstairs of my grandmother's house

You're not helping.

I’m NOT but it’s TRUE! It’s taken me almost 6 hours to get to my mother after a heart attack bc it happened to fall on a day the Pats played the Jets at MetLife... and PA taxes are a DREAM.

Hurley’s not reading this thread, though.

We shouldn’t hang out hats on proximity to NJ and CT...

Crap we don't have airplanes in Connecticut. If only we didn't ruin our best runway with a football stadium!

Yes, with all of the amazing service into Bradley... yes. Hah.

That’s not even possible. You’re not even 45 minutes to Greenwich, but try again!

I'll be mad about it. Not at Hurley, but at DB. Where's the backup plan?

Also, I've heard a lot of 'we are confident' from the program/AD over the years. No bueno.

Optically, if we can't pull a coach from URI, we are in trouble.
