Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[UConNick]

I've been following along since page one of this thread, but I refused to post out of respect for the mojo. It has been a wild, beautiful, and disturbing journey. Thank you to those that kept this thread funny and ocasionally informative over the past 48+ hours!!!! We are back!

I feel like Uconn won at something. I forgot what that felt like. It feels good

Where do you see Pitt offering over $4M?

Actually I just watched the TV News and they said PITT offered 3 Mil and that it was 1 Mil more than UCONN. Is their information that old? I guess that shouldn't surprise me. These local TV stations want to put all their money and resources into Weather (And they're doing it SO well )

It's been an honor being here with you all. Can we turn this thread into a general BS thread for us to continue hanging out?

From the A Dime back piece --

UConn is expected to name Rhode Island’s Dan Hurley as its next head coach, sources tell A Dime Back. The contract is rumored to pay $3.1 million annually (a figure we could not confirm), a significant raise from Hurley’s current $1.1 million salary at URI, and was reportedly finalized after a late push by several high profile UConn donors.

that's literally the same things I heard

I didn't see the news until I sat down on the toilet and pulled my phone out.

This is the most satisfying bowel movement I have ever bestowed. And it's not over yet.

Is it happening?

 

[formerlurker]

Let’s wait for it to hit the AP before we fold up shop.

Been nice spending the past couple days with you all. Heading to bed. Let's keep this thread rolling

 

[DSquiz]

I really want A Dime Back to be right and love their site and podcast but do we have any other confirmation? I don’t want to jinx it and do a victory shot (as is the UConn way) prematurely.

I badly want to sleep too. But can't. Is it the caffene or the news?

the boneyard is on vacation in this thread

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Is this real?

By all accounts, yes.

 

[uconnbill]

This is going to happen, I can feel it, or is that the lack of sleep lately....Who knows

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Awesome! I'm heading to bed will catch up on the celebrations in the AM!

I don't think a legitimate news source had the actual offers out there, it was mostly internet speculation. Somebody had Pitt with 4 million earlier today, who really knows.

speaking of my awesome wife, TMI, and fleshlights, she bought me one as a random present last year. Game changer.

She must really like doing it with you

If the Danny Hurley to UConn news breaks but UConn Nation is sleeping... I don't know where this is going

 

[Phoenixhusky]

All these fake twitters have me in a non trusting mood.

 

[Utah Top Dog]

So I guess URI isn't the "Gonzaga" of the East...typical underachievers! UCONN 4 - Zags 0

 

[UCDaveD]

DON'T LET OFF THE GAS UNTIL IT'S OFFICIAL. WE CAN'T BE THE REASON THIS FALLS APART. WE'VE COME TOO FAR!

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

ADB is likely more in touch with sources inside the UConn AD who aren't 100% positive rock solid sources that a print journalist/Rothstein-type can roll with publicly. Those folks may have the same info but are waiting for the golden source to confirm.

 

[Danzz]

I want to believe it but there is so much fake stuff out there it makes it hard to believe anything. Good news is I have less than an inch of snow so the plow guy can biff off.

We must not sleep. It is our will, our code, our destiny!

I think we had more fun with this thread than we had watching this team the past two years.

It was definitely more offensive than anything we've seen on the court recently
