Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

I was not really sold on Hurley being the next coach, but this thread has me rooting for it now.. I wan’t UCONN Basketball to win!!! Even if it’s a competition for a head coach I am not in love with..

Just a Win !!!! The Huskies need to feel good for a change after the last few years.
 
I went out to a coffee shop and had a conversation for over two hours, never looking at the yard. Thought for sure this would be over once I got back home...nope.

Eliminate the football program.

That has been a constant debate on KeanyBLue forums. Unlike Maine, which sends many players to the NFL and CFL, URI football has had something like 3 winning seasons in 30 years.
Apparently there is a strong club hockey team and they want to replace the Football team with D-1 hockey, with sights set on Hockey East.
Many football alumni basically say "over my dead body"

Given the leak of confidence Monday and still no announcement...could they be holding off until they have a settlement with KO?
 
I'm back to thinking he picks us.

Pitt is too much upheaval for his family, even at that price; and them playing games by floating Miller and others tells me they don't think they are getting him.

URI has stepped up to the plate more than I thought they would or could, and I'm sure that caused some serious contemplation. But after reportedly dreaming of greener and greater pastures at UConn for a while now, I can't see him choosing to stay and envisioning going back to the same ol', same ol' that he has presumably been working to rise above for years.

Of course, we're still doomed.

I've heard this a many times on the BY. What makes DB such a great AD? Is it that he does his job? What has he done that gives him a bit of a lofty status on the BY?

Yeah, I've seen basically nothing so far. Signed a bad contract with Ollie (not the monetary extension, but the huge buyout provision). Fired a dud in Diaco. Hired the old coach back. Messy split with Ollie (made the right move to let him go probably, I'll give him that).

And now he's going publically all in on ONE candidate.

What else has he done?

I think our administration still feels good about it. That's why I'm worried.

Looks like he goes to the gym a lot.

Bjorn Borg: "Dan, we feel we have the money for all of your dreams to come true here at Rhode Island!!!"

Danny: "Really? I have been here a while. How?"

Bjorn Borg: "Well, we will have to tell 6o kids, 18 coaches and about 13 office personnel there is no need to be here anymore"

Oz should start making gambling picks. I’m confident that I’d be a millionaire after a month of fading him.

Some did say Hurley and Edsall have the same agent. If the source has an in with the agent they might be right.

That said, the fun isn't going to stop yet.

That is true ...both Burkey and Edsall are repped by Jordan Bazant.
