Re: By Friday April April 12 Is Dan Hurley Coaching Rutgers?
I say he stays. He is on the cusp of building an NCAAT team. Moving now will set him back 2-3 years. That would put him around 6 years with no post seasons. Not good for a resume.

The best thing about our 98 run was I bought USA Today every day. Having National recognition meant you got national press. No need to read the bs the projo spewed when we had an unbiased opinion on how good we were. Donaldson is a tool. The projo is a joke.

If they ever do serve beer they should have a craft brewery create some unique beer for the RC.
Like Ram IPA

Or maybe a blueberry flavored one.....
