Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[SixRings]

When you say never, what you really mean is only once. Read up!

Not happening once is the same as never. Read up.

I think we all owe it to TJT for lighting some fire into this thread, for without him we would never approach the Diallo thread statistics.

Has it yet been explained where the 11.5 million dollars UConn is going to have to pay (buyouts with the firing/hiring) is coming from? That is a lot of money for a department that is experiencing shrinking revenues. As near as I can tell, 10.5M may have to potentially be paid Ollie and 1M paid to URI for Hurley's buyout. While UConn is fighting the Ollie amount, my gut tells me he will have a strong claim on all or near all of it. Add in the legal fees surrounding the KO dismissal and it could end up even more.

Sold some cows

Funny thing is, when this thing was kicking into gear, I probably posted 50x ... but I have no concept, it could also be 10. I totally blacked out.
It was like a running chat that consumed 2 days of my life.

28x

I predict we make the tournament in in Hurley's first year.

False. It is neither a Rhode nor an Island.

Rhode Island is the original name of Aquidneck Island (and actual island) but Rhode Island the state is part of the mainland United States. It has land borders with both Connecticut and Massachusetts, which at the most generous, would make it a peninsula. The fact that the state contains islands does not mean the state itself is an island.

the state is called the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations - ergo Rhode Island is, indeed, an island - the mainland part was part of a colony called Providence Plantations, which i suppose is fair to say it still refers to that mainland part

It was time for an avatar update. Sorry Arkeel.

avatars are tough. as a new guy i'm still trying to work on branding - the "pile of beer cans outside the Rent" was kind of cool. i've been using the mets-colored husky but i dont think it stands out as much on the yard as it might elsewhere unless you're looking for the blue/orange (rather than the outline being red)

Fact: RI, Ct., and NY are the only three states that share an ocean boundary. Stand at Napatree Pt. in Watch Hill and look toward Fisher's Island. The water boundary where Ct., Ny., and RI meet is about half way between Napatree and Fisher's Island.

Fact: Rhode Island is the only state that can trace its name to Dutch origins. Adriaen Block noted the red soil on Aquidneck Island and called it "Roodt Eiylandt" or Red Island. That same Block was the first European to set foot in Connecticut (in present-day South Windsor) and named Block Island after himself.

Also unrelated Fact: Vermont is the only state, besides Louisiana (King Louis XIV) that can trace its name to French origins. Vermont is a rough translation of "Green Mountain." The more you know!

Didn’t know where to post this so I figured I’d contribute to the epic thread lol. But this is a pretty dope video with Jalen Lecque. Didn’t know he could shoot so well. Even tho he called Kemba Kyrie -_-

It feels as though this thread isn't organic anymore. It feels like we are really putting anything here just so it bumps and people keep viewing. It's taken so long because people aren't checking it or have put it on mute.

If the season were still going this freak show would have been locked several days ago. This is the reason mega threads suck.

Lighten up Thomas!

I can't imagine the thread will last much after it passes the Diallo thread. Tom has been generous, otherwise it would have been locked last week.

Has some guy been tweeting or writing any informative articles? Has Anthony written anything yet?

 

[junglehusky]

I would've helped out with the pageviews more but I do need to get some work accomplished when it's not March Madness or #HurleyWatch time.

 

[MattMang23]

Some guy was last seen retweeting the Travelers Championship's tweet congratulating Patrick Reed on his Masters win. Twenty-two hours ago.

To be fair there are two Diallo threads. If we were really gonna go for glory with this one, we'd have to combine the pageviews of both Diallo threads and beat that number.

I'm going to guess Tom will put the kibosh on that so enjoy this victory.

The thread was beautiful, and more or less petered out just under 50K pageviews shy of the Diallo thread, and we've been keeping it on life support since.

We're under a 1000 views away from topping the Diallo thread and moving on.

Great video. Check out the kid at 2:40 mark. Springs in his legs. Yikes.

His favorite food is pizza. Quick someone show him the pizza thread.
