Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

Dan Hurley discusses decision to leave URI for UConn

That was great. Thanks.

My respect for the job his agent did just grew tremendously. He never wanted anything other than this job.

For what it's worth, most people in academia consider Syracuse to be equal or below UConn in terms of quality.

UConn and Syracuse graduates earn roughly the same amount post graduation and Cuse is obviously much more expensive.

I think what you're experiencing is a (slowly dying) Northeastern phenomenon that believes that private schools are inherently better than public schools which is very obviously not the case.

You have to look at the long arc of a career. There are still buckets more Syracuse high achievers in the nyc area over age 50. Over age 40 too. It’s not even close. It needs another 20 years to really play out, that is, for the recently rising Uconn alumni base to start edging out the long established others. Uconn is doing great, but my point remains Syracuse is far from dead and remains very plenty popular with people with means.

I can’t speak to the west of NYC comment, maybe people are looking at Rutty and deciding they need better alternatives.

LOL @ all these supposed newscasters "working the story all day long".

It's simple. Read faster and you'll get through all 188 pages of pure BY gold in a short amount of time.

And not just because I've posted in it more than anyone else. Though that helps, I think.

Finally. I had to pull the reins to a stop to let people catchup. Was like Usain Bolt there for a while.

Text from my wife at 6:25 pm today: "Did you hear Hurley is coming to UConn"

Good to know she still has no idea what I'm up to most of the time.

Imagine an honest reply?

"Yes, I've wasted more than ten hours posting more than 100 times in an epic Boneyard thread about it while waiting for his decision over the past two days, when you thought I was working or listening to you."

Wow that's some serious lag, are you still on dial-up?

 

[JMick]

I feel like I have an obligation to keep posting in this thread so I don't lose the bronze in total posts

I feel so bad for everyone that went to bed not knowing it was a done deal. I wouldn't have been able to sleep

I am well aware since 1115 last night. I just don’t know any other way to keep this thread alive and pure. I feel we must keep feeding it with the same anxiety, anticipation, spirit and general good humor or ...... it will die.

It was a lot easier to sleep last night, after not being able to on Monday and Tuesday night.

I blame you for why I missed it. I checked out after you literally made a post consisting of only the words "go to sleep."

I was actually too excited to fall asleep.
