Great question. URI is one of those perfect steps between small time and big time for rising or rehabilitating coaches so any success is usually fleeting. I was there when they had Tom Penders and he brought exciting teams and packed houses to a dormant program. Jim Harrick did the same a decade later. I assumed Hurley would follow the same path but he signed a big extension last year so maybe URI is serious about building a contender and maybe he'd rather do that than go to a big name and deal with that set of circumstances. Every contract can be broken so I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but the more they win the more likely he sticks around. http://www.providencejournal.com/sports/20170516/uri-dan-hurley-agree-on-contract-extension-through-2023-24-season

Dan's been putting some talent together the last few years. So far this year they've been playing up to their potential.

Let’s just take a moment and thank The Giants....
KD in CA replied to Just Jack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Let's also take a moment to say 'thanks !@#$s' to Pete Carroll, Dan Quinn and Mike Shannahan for robbing us of the 'Pats staring at 5th straight SB loss' story line. -
>$30k Momentum building?

Absolutely. The Giants aren't anywhere near as bad as they played this season. They are not going to be the Browns or Rams and have a top 5 pick every year for a decade.

What are your two biggest wishes this offseason?
KD in CA replied to downunderbill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
1) QB 2) Quenton Nelson -
$70 Done!

But...but....getting a pound of flesh from someone I've never met over something they may or may not have said to another person I've never met is what is critically important right now!!! Truely bizarre how much energy people devote to certain inconsequential things.

Given their once in a generation draft slot, they'd have to be really sure Eli can and wants to play 3 more years to pass on a QB.

Eric Wood has career-ending neck injury; will retire
KD in CA replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bummer; one of most likeable guys on the team over the years. Best wishes to him. Add OL to the high priority list in the draft. -
2018 Baseball HOF Inductees Announced
KD in CA replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in Major League Baseball's Topics
No major arguments with the results. Those 4 guys were all clearly deserving. A whole bunch of HOVG guys on the ballot who I don't see building their way to Cooperstown. A few comments: Clemens -- As always, !@#$ Clemens. I hope he never, ever gets in. Or at least dies first. I couldn't hate him any more if he was starting for the Pats*. Mussina -- interesting borderline case. I don't think of him as being that great, but he has more wins than Jim Palmer and Bob Feller. Can you workhorse your way to the Hall? Manny -- wow, people really hate Manny. 22% for maybe the best hitter we've seen in our lifetime. I understand why, but......damn what a hitter. Livan -- I know he's no HOF, but come on, only one vote? This guy had a really interesting career. Too bad they couldn't put Livan and El Duque on the ballot a team. Isringhausen -- So much for Generation K. -
I'm fine with Reyes in the reserve IF role. He's a Met, he belongs here.
-
Man, even though I didn't go out of my way to get Mets news when I lived in CT, I realize how much I picked up via a few minutes of the FAN in the car or reading the Post a couple times a week, etc. I don't know anything anymore. Is there a Two Mets Drive?

Moving on to Cincinnati. -
I gave them an F for waiting until they were so desperate they had to draft a stiff like EJ. AND they drafted Tony Hunter first.

Who wins this 7 game series?
KD in CA replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Well, in the first season they went 0-3 against the Yankees, but that team was a dynasty under Roy Turner. -
Bob Costas Dumped From NBC Super Bowl Team
KD in CA replied to Rico's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've always liked Costas but it seems like he got very preachy in recent years. -

Excellent point here. The Bears were battle tested playing in the North Valley Little League. Bears in 7.
