Titus - UConn & Hurley

[RuffRuff]

Devotes most of the first 30 minutes to the Creighton win, with a large focus on Hurley. Like Titus and always good to hear his perspective.



It will be interesting to see how Hurley’s approach this season translates in the tourney. There is a lot of bulletin board stuff out there this year, but is this the type of team to eat it up and respond?

 

[Hi-Low]

Funny stuff on Dan Hurley...it's good to be the king.

He also says “I’d rather my coach not be an as*h**e” so forgive me for not wasting my time on his podcast.

I agree that baldy is objectively hilarious.

Eh, Titus never says that kind of stuff with fangs, wouldn’t take it personal. Just as opposing fans shouldn’t take Dan Hurley badly comments personal. All in good fun.

Idiots.

What I take personal is the obvious agenda to paint Hurley as a bad guy. I honestly don't understand how fans of the program and Hurley support guys like this. I've blocked Goodman and this clown might be next

It's just odd that this issue, how one coach is mean to refs, has basically dominated the college basketball season. It's about the only thing to break through to regular sports shows. You'd think Cooper Flagg or the SEC or whatever would be the story, but it's not, it's Dan Hurley and the refs.

And I know I'm a homer, but I just don't see that he's appreciably worse on this question that any one of about 20 other coaches. He gives refs a hard time. So do most coaches. Who cares?

It all contributes to the false narrative the media paints regarding Hurley. Calling him an as*h*e” and saying he **** sucks while talking about him for 30 minutes to generate clicks is beyond lame.

What incentive does an Ohio State guy who’s a college basketball junky have to “paint Hurley as a bad guy”? Titus was on Connecticut’s jock the entirety of last season. Some of you need to lighten up. I guarantee if you were to ask Titus to name his 5 favorite coaches in college basketball Hurley is one of the first names out of his mouth.

Easy. It's group think. His incentive is to be apart of the crowd. Kim English called a ref "a racist female dog" and no one batted an eye. There is a clear agenda to label Hurley as a bad dude. And this Ohio St loser is more than happy to oblige. I think it does our program no favors for UConn fans to support people who are actively assasinating the character of our coach. "I'd rather do it with a guy who doesn't duck**** suck". Thats the quote. That isn't painting Hurley as a bad guy? But I'm just one man with an opinion. Everyone has one i guess.

Titus loves Hurley, he's always talking up Hurley and the program.

That’s the only thing I care about: suddenly he’s LITERALLY being called a bad person and deemed worse than actual criminal activity being done.

It’s so obnoxious and clearly just the new stupid commentary taking place in our day to day: he’s an attractive topic so they yuck it up.

But now he’s actually being called a BAD PERSON?!?! Does anyone know anything about this dude? Call him a baby or arrogant. I wouldn’t even blink about that.

There’s pretty much two situations being held over Hurley’s head.

Maui and the don’t turn you back on me moment. Those were both cringe but outside of that he’s been just fine.

Anything else he does will have those two instances as backdrops for “here he goes again”.

Unlike Goodman, Titus actually played college hoops, at OSU. He isn’t just some sclub off the street posing. And yes, Titus has been pretty complimentary, doesn’t have a click bait agenda. He is a B10 enthusiast.

Not promoting a hater as much as sharing some new content here to avoid 13 more pages of back and forth on position-less offense, and always good to have some healthy national media perspective. No one has to listen.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Unlike Goodman, Titus actually played college hoops put on a uniform at OSU.

FIFY. If you read his book, he was in the self created “Club Trillion” which meant he’d get in for a minute and was as statistically irrelevant as possible. Lol. He was basically on the team bc he was friends with Oden. Funny book though….

I don't think this makes sense. The only "agenda" for media personalities - as distinct from reporters like Shams - is to get ears and eyeballs in their direction.

 

[Hoophound]

Hurley wouldn’t be much of a story but he’s won back to back titles, of course they are going to talk about him. This is what he is giving them to talk about right now. They can’t talk about our flawless play or his happy go lucky nature.

Titus could have played D1 elsewhere. He was recruited. He decided to walk on to stay with his AAU guys. So you're right in what actually happened, but he was good enough to not be a poser if he wanted.
