How Andrea Hurley makes impact on UConn basketball program, local charities: ‘Loves getting involved’

[HooperScooper]

With that in mind, Andrea was looking for a similar outfit once she and her husband arrived at UConn 5 ½ years ago. She was directed to the Husky Ticket Project, which had just started when the Hurleys arrived in Connecticut. The project raises money through donors, fans and other friends of the program to send underprivileged kids to UConn sporting events.

“I get annoyed sometimes by negative fans, and I will never let that happen again,” she promised, “because when I saw how many fans we have, and a tiny percentage of fans that are so negative, as opposed to who showed up at that parade … it means nothing. The support that this team has is surreal.”

“If you look out there, that puts in perspective what it’s really about. The positive behind a sport. Because it can get ugly and vicious."

I hope she doesn't read the Boneyard. Lol

“I’ll do it again,” the New Jersey girl promised. “I channel my Jackie Kennedy, but I can go to Snooki in five seconds.”

The personalities we have with our program right now warms the cockles of my heart. Our culture has never been better.

My gut tells me that this thread could take a bad turn in a hurry

Seen her in interviews and i absolutely adore her.

Met her in an elevator at the team hotel this year. She was a hoot, full of smiles and positivity.

I was telling her how she was a legend on the Boneyard after blasting PC fans in that bar interview. She's like "Really? (laughs) I don't think I've been on a message board since college". Also told her how gracious her husband was when I bumped into him after beating Miami. Priceless memories.

So --- she doesn't read the Boneyard from my quick interview.

The interview she did with Dauster I think during the final four was pure gold. She absolutely rocks. We are blessed to have her and Danny. Both bleed national flag blue.

Someone better than me should put up a link for it.

That was before YOU went and piqued her curiosity.

For what it's worth, I think it's kind of cool that the parade made a big impression on her. I'm sure it did on the staff and players as well. University of Connecticut basketball is the states team. People say college sports don't matter in the Northeast, well clearly UConn basketball matters in the state of Connecticut. When things aren't going well, that means a lot of pressure on the staff to get it right. But when everything comes together, it's pretty special to be at the center of that love and attention.
