Chief’s Briefs - USF Edition

And yet, look at the outcome.

I’m pretty sure no one has documented the tire fire in Storrs more than I... and if beating USF in basketball is an unreasonable expectation... they should board the windows and knock a few hundy off student fees.

Another home run Chief’s Briefs, blowing away all previous metrics. Thank you, I am humbled and this wouldn’t be possible without your contribution.

Uh....buddy, I think Madmann meant playing anywhere in the State of Florida. The 2014 FF was in Texas.

Exactly. Playing in FLA has been a curse.

What has been happening in FB is sort of happening in BB. UConn is making other teams look good

That's as clear an indication of where both programs are. In BB one or two recruits can have an impact. But you still need some support players to surround them. those impact recruits aren't on this current team. It's going to take a recriuting cycle or two for Hurley to build a roster that fits his system. I think Ollie's biggest deficiency is killing the team. He just never had a balanced roster. It was always flawed in some regard.

Full faith in Hurley. Just typical UConn fans wanting tomorrow today and then pointing fingers when it doesn't happen.

One thing that hurt Ollie was the sanctions as well. Facey and brimah were desperate additions even though Kelis Fisher was 4* nypoty(I think but very raw). Brimah chased other bigs off bc we all thought or were waiting for him to hit that nba level and they didn’t want to ride shotgun. The clouds broke in 16 class but Ollie lost his passion and fire.

Like him or not, this was pretty obviously a joke.

I’m mad I spent three seasons showing up at 11:11 and the games didnt start for an hour

That's what I thought you meant.
So we shouldn't judge Danny for 5 years. Well I do like Danny. I liked the hire, I liked him most after the Cuse game, today I like him less. No one is going to wait to judge him until 2023.

You're right. Hurley's in the big time for the first time and along with that comes expectations he's never faced.

He got the team off to a great start, they played fast and looked so much better expectations may have gotten out of hand, but the roster is better and more experienced than last year's so let's not overdo the lack of talent, no size, etc. excuses.

Chris Holtman took Ohio State from 17-15 to 25-9 his first year so let's see some improvement as the season plays out so we can minimize the breakdowns on the Boneyard.

There is no reason to give him a pass since almost all of us thought last years team under achieved and the same number stated KO was the problem. Coach should be held to the fire. Having said that, the turnaround we hoped for is just a ways off.

1999 nationals championship was in St. Petersburg, Florida. However, I understand now what he meant. The curse must have started after 1999, Thank you.

True you are perpetually “mad”, not a good operational mode.

After reading this description you'd wonder how USF ever lost to The Citadel.

FYI, Citadel made 16 3's in that game and we lost by 3.
