Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[DadBod24]

Reports: UConn to name new head men’s basketball coach

Stumbled on this while checking my kid’s school closing. More the same and I can’t get enough.

Woke up to a half inch of snow so happy to not have to clear that, check the yard for the last 7 pages I missed from when I was told to “put the phone away and get some sleep” and wake up to Hurley! I knew my Curley fry was a sign...

Went to bed 15 minutes too early. Figures.

And Poof, kstallings disappeared.

The greatest trick kstallings ever pulled was convincing The Boneyard he didn’t exist.

Congratulations Coach Hurley and congrats to all.
It was fun to be in this together. Maybe one or two pages long fight between two posters very early in the thread but mostly unity and humor. Nice ride.

 

[UConnMike04]

Its on various websites and news broadcasts now! I do feel for URI and their fans...

Same here. Woke up to 150 texts too

I don’t want to post in the other thread. It feels wrong

 

[UconnFanNVa]

I hope we get something official today

 

[the Q]

I don’t want to post in the other thread. It feels wrong

Agreed. This is home

 

[jimva]

Cautiously optimistic. No credible sites picking this up yet

 

[Sonofabeach]

What a time to write my first post...I’ve seen the good news confirmed through three different sources, still nothing official.

Probably bc most humans are sleeping.

Welcome to the Boneyard! Buckle up it's been a bumpy ride, but the road is getting smoother

How many people chose the field instead of TCF for breaking the news?

Who? I looked back and all stallings posts and likes...... are gone ... pooof! Like that!

 

[HuskyHawk]

Felling pretty good, but I’ll feel better when we get an official news outlet confirmation and I see Dan at a press conference in Storrs.

 

[MattMang23]

After all the hours I put into this, I missed the live tweets from ADB and Ed? I feel robbed, but also very happy we have our guy*!

*unless we don't.

 

[Mister Wonderful]

On the train into work after hearing good news, all caught up on this thread, but am now completely lost with nothing to read.

Thank you all for your hard work and entertainment during these trying times!

 

[Guapo]

In the words of Bill Walton; "what a long, strange trip this has been"

 

[tzznandrew]

Glad I had some vague confirmation of this when I went to bed, but would have loved to have been in the HurleyWatch thread as the news broke.

Oh well. This has me genuinely excited for UConn for the first time since 2016 ended.

Fell asleep on the recliner shortly before 9:30 so missed the news in real time but thankfully saw it before heading to bed around 11:30.

Great to awaken to the news that tweets about this thread were newsworthy for an article in today's New Haven Register:

The Hurley watch has been excruciating, yet hilarious on Twitter

 

[JCSuperstar]

Congratulations you magnificent bastards, you did it.

One thread to rule them all,
One thread to find him;
One thread to bring them all and in the darkness sign him.

 

[fatlucy]

This was great to wake up to! Wahoo! Happy days are here again. Man I miss hoops!

The snow does not even bother me this morning. Had to hit the hay at 10:30 last night as I have had the flu at a low level since Sunday AM. Still have a fever but it should be over soon. There is hope now which we had none of at the end of the season. Welcome Coach Hurley!
