Event with Andrea Hurley

[Husk04ies]

Hey all!

We are having a fundraiser for the husky ticket project charity with the queen of CT, Andrea Hurley! It is Friday September 6th at 7 pm at the Mark Twain House in Hartford. She will be sharing info in a hilarious way about the reality show Real Housewives of NJ as well as talking UConn bball. We're doing games, trivia, and even a Q & A and she said ask her whatever you want! We will also have special guests! It's $50 and it all goes to HTP! Please support Andrea (as she really wants a crowd) and HTP by coming and bring everyone you know! Thanks!

Does my confirmation email serve as my ticket? I haven’t received a separate ticket to this point.

How was the event?

Andrea Hurley sat down with her husband in a conference room in Los Angeles in June, and Jeanie Buss, owner of the Lakers, sat down across from her to discuss the head coaching position.

“I’m telling you, it was surreal,” Andrea told an audience at the Mark Twain House on Friday night. “There are so many different emotions. She came in, sat down and I’m a crier, everybody knows, and I started crying. Because all I saw was Hass on Jeanie Buss’ head. That is the only person I saw. I mean, the blonde hair and I kept seeing (UConn guard Hassan Diarra). So she kept asking, ‘Why are you so upset,’ and all I could get out was, ‘They’re my kids … they’re my kids.'”

“It was like, ‘I couldn’t get my kids, my UConn kids, out of my mind the entire time I was out there,” she said. “It was the guilt, it was a guilt thing. It was like, ‘You wouldn’t get this opportunity if it wasn’t for the kids.’ I don’t think the timing was right, you don’t get blessed for doing something at the wrong time.”

Gotta love Andrea!

How's her 3 point shot?

she's more of a margarita kinda lady than putting down shots.

Well she’s a special lady and she realizes that she won’t be baking cupcakes for NBA players, those guys don’t need the mothering that the college kids do.
UConn has a great family atmosphere with the assistant coaches like Luke and their kids all involved. It’s a beautiful thing. And we don’t mind the winning either…….
