My god that patronizing shit that some VCU fans do, with the whole “poor naive Rhody fans, your coach is going to leave... believe us, we know,” is really freaking annoying.

The eye-test tells me that URI will rise in the rankings even though the SOS of late isn't that good. I had the feeling that the prognosticators were waiting for us to lose. The win at VCU on national TV was impressive.

This VCU poster gets it:

"But review rhody possessions & you find zero bad shot selections; you find great ball movement to find open guy; you find great defense...from perimeter to inside; you find extraordinary hustle & effort & result of sooo many rebounds on offensive side."

Another one admitted VCU was outcoached

I don’t think it was close. They were home. They hit several prayers to stay in the game. We aren’t the best rebounding team and they were handily outrebounded.

But this is what I mean when discussing media that covers a team favorably.

I thought ESPN’s TV production sucked compared to CBSSN. The camera angles were terrible (maybe a product of Siegel’s sight lines) but they kept missing key plays. The announcers were too distracted by their “cleverness “. I knowESPN gives us more exposure but I prefer NBC and CBS.

The lion doesn't concern itself with the opinions of sheep.

They're saying whatever they can to make themselves feel better about this potentially being the beginning of the changing of the guard in the A10. They are a sensitive bunch who always overcompensate. They kind of remind me of the St. Bonaventure fan base but not quite as extreme in their hubris.

Maybe this was already mentioned or is known, but you can see a replay of the VCU game on ESPN under Watch. Usually games televised by a ESPN unit become available for replay about one hour after game is completed.

The play-by-play guy missed too much, but I actually didn't mind Mark Plansky, the color guy.

Fun fact: Claude recruited him hard coming out of high school in Massachusetts in the early 1980s.

Same link as in the first post. All ESPN broadcasts are available on-demand on watchespn.com for a month or so.

They are in PTSD as a fan base for having 3 coaches in 4years. Dan likes it here, and won’t run into a bad situation. if someplace like Texas called, I imagine he would listen. It isn’t about dans salary, just the culture and available fund to do all the other “stuff”he desires.

The only job I would worry about with Hurley is Maryland he is now in the situation where he can take his time and pick the perfect job. Maryland to me is that job this year the guy there now Turgeon has done a horrible job. Big time money and easy to recruit if he does not go there I predict he will stick at rhody for another three or four years at least.

If you listen to Dan's words carefully, he is happy to be here.
If you look at the big picture, he likes his players, is a man of integrity, and likes his situation here.

If he were offered a big contract, URI would make every effort to keep their guy.
Unlike many coaches, he is not the type to "posture".
He is a man of integrity, and is straight forward with the administration, and has always put the program first.
