If anyone cares, I was told URI did a good job with their offer to Hurley. They had a good idea where UConn would be with their offer, and were competitive enough that they were confident Hurley would stay. Between the Pitt offer and UConn recognizing they weren't getting him, they (UConn) were abl...

No, they are just tired of pizza and ham while we wait; all conjecture on DH decision is nearly wrung out. Conjecture on next coach should DH leave is all that’s left.

I myself would rather more pizza talk.

All of the CT media has been pretty much, except the story late yesterday from the Courant that DH was mulling his 3 options.

Glad we have Bill Koch.

I can’t wait till Thursday. My head might explode.

And anyone who says New Haven pizza is overrated is straight up crazy. Any true pizza expert, who has sampled pies across the globe, and there are many, rate New Haven amongst the best.

You are reading into things. What if he met just to update his players where things stand, that he is mulling things over? What would you expect to be announced?

Get a grip people.

FWIW building a brand is something that matters to our coach - it was quoted he was intrigued by the Uconn brand. He has cited the Friartown campaign and what PC has done to build a brand.

Just want to state, while of course I will be gutted if DH leaves after this season, I will be gutted and damned to an eternity in hell if he goes to Uconn. And will really lose some respect for him.

Hi,

I have an extra ticket for a URI fan. PM me here. You must have posts on here that reflect that you are a URI fan. Not looking to make money off ticket, will sell for what I paid for it a month ago.
