Some Guy: UConn close to signing Hurley

[YearoftheHusky]

This still doesn’t feel real. With all the nutkicks we have experienced, I am still expecting the worst. I am elated, but not without caution. Just shows how bad it got.

I would like to thank both KStallings; bot and in real form. The bot for its mechanical devotion to the mojo and real for propagating the Hartford, CT of basketball teams and making us a better fit despite more $$, years, and conference superiority.

So has only ADB confirmed Hurley is coming? Has either University put anything official out yet?

What a ride this thread has been.

See above, I'll embed here so it looks pretty:

Nothing lasts forever. Neither good nor bad. We were due for a bounce back. Could still be a rough ride for a year or two but the future is bright again! This university has good mojo so rough times don't last long. Both Calhoun and Geno had some rough patches but we always came back even stronger. Don't know why we are blessed, but we are.

Hat tip to AD Benedict, a ‘schmuck’ he is not.

I gotta put this out there....it feels a bit awkward to be excited that a Hurley is going to be the next UCONN coach. Some of you young pups may not understand, but damn I hated Bobby!!

OK, I feel better...

I felt the same way a couple of months ago.
Once I programmed my mind to "Seton Hall Hurley" and found out that Coach JC visited URI on Hurleys behave, I adjusted. It was difficult to train my mind to by-pass the "Duke Hurley" hate. I'm sure I'll have some relapses.

I think this is appropriate train ride music for today’s commute

Last time we hired a 44-45 year old coach from a mid major in a neighboring state that had significant success with his team(s) and could get in his player's faces, we seemed to do pretty well. Only hope Dan Hurley can pull a starter in the first 27 seconds of a game just to provide a 'teaching moment.'. Seems like Karma to me.
