Message: [QUOTE="Hurleyman216, post: 3723658, member: 3517"] If you want a "Blue Blood" other than UConn to compare our past 6 years to, look at North Carolina from 1998-2003. 5 times over that 6 year time frame they had double digit losses and missed the NCAA tournament a couple of times as well. This all happened because they made a bad hire (Doherty). UNC had 78 losses in those 6 seasons. Ironically, Kevin Ollie had 79 losses in his 6 seasons at UConn. It only took Roy Williams 2 seasons to completely turn that ship around and I don't expect it will take Hurley that much longer. One thing you PC fans may not realize is that we KNOW what good basketball looks like because we've watched a lot of our teams win championships or come close and fall short. We KNEW we sucked for the past 4-5 years and we needed a coaching change and we KNOW what we saw last year and what we have coming in this year. We also know the Big East because we carried that league (back when it was much tougher than it is now) for almost 25 years. PC should be thanking us for the promotion they got when we ended up in the crap AAC conference. You're now demoted back down to where you should be (even though you think you're somehow the class of the Big East now). If you want to take bets on who will have a better record in the Big East over the next 3 years please PM me and we can exchange information. [/QUOTE]
