Can’t imagine what the results are going to look like. It’s a real mystery.

coach we like versus coach we don’t like?

I’d say, Kenpom ranking, record and post season success is a good measure.

Leave the feeling about Coaches out (if possible) and vote as unbiased as possible.

C'mon Mongo, you expect ace to ignore an opportunity to get her back up in defense of the living legend???

Alas, the angst has arrived.

I need y’all to understand that Running Ram has professed to take no interest in me or my posts and to be wholly uninterested in anything I post, yet he knows what my job is and the majority of his recent posts on this board have been about me. Totally fine and normal behavior.

You're so damn defensive, what's your problem? Dan doesn't care if we think Rhody will have a better season than UConn, I'm sure he expects it. Why do you feel the need to come on here and put your petty 2cents in and start the vitriol about coach vs. coach again?

I think they will tie.

We are more likely to have a better record I know that.

Not sure the angst ever really left, did it? :lol:
I love seeing people get fired up whenever someone mentions, or heaven forbid, infers anything possibly positive about hurls or uconn...entertaining.

That's not what happened here, just gotta scroll back to see and read. This wasn't a thread about coaches until someone made it a thread about coaches. Can't we have anything nice without ace ruining it? :lol:

How was this not a thread about coaches? It's literally asking if we'll have a better or worse season than the new team our ex coach is coaching.

Coaches are one aspect of why or why not one thinks a program will be successful, the question is much broader than that. And it could have remained a question of program v program.

This is just 'renewed interest in our CT neighbor'...it has absolutely nothing to do with the coaches. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Especially when my response to your criteria question was clearly a joke.

But keep creeping, RR. I’m glad my presence gives you some purpose in life.

Finally another thread about Hurley! I was wondering if we would ever get around to talking about that guy.

The American and the A10 are the same in that just select teams play each other twice. URI, as one of the established good teams in the conference, has some tough match-ups, so that could affect their record. No doubling up against Duquesne or Fordham. The pairings should help URI’s other metrics, though.

I love this movie, and Lindsay Lohan was so good then. Don’t do drugs or have crazy stage parents, kids.

We're clearly all biased here; she's just biased in the other direction (which is fine). She still seems like a loyal fan of the program with a good knowledge of the game. Can't we all be adults and appreciate and focus on what we have in common instead of what makes us different?

You are delusional.
