Mmm, I’m thinking this guy is a Zima drinker.Had a few too many Miller lites tonight?

We would totally be pulling for V. But about insufferable, $)&@@!It’s a conundrum. I’ve rooted for UConn (and X and Creighton) and I pull for the conference, but I certainly have mixed feelings on tonight.
As I root for UConn I also think of the insufferable fans becoming more insufferable. As we compete as programs it’s another title in the count, and would now own the reigning title as well. San Diego State is a great underdog. Would you be pulling for Nova tonight if we were playing San Diego State?
In the end I’m still pulling for UConn and the Big East tonight, but with some mixed feelings. Win or lose, UConn as a program has already achieved Blue Blood status.
That you have your facts wrong. We have one MORE than Kansas. The school that hired Naismith.Tied with Duke and Indiana. One less than UNC, one less than Kansas. So what does that say?
He always says he doesn’t want to coach into his 60s. We have him for about 10 more yearsAnd it ain't close. It's our century baby. If Hurley wants to stick around he could win four or five more of these things.
I think I speak for all of us when I say----

I think a competitive guy like him is going to have a hard time with that, and I wouldn't hold him to it. The NBA is probably the bigger threat at some point, but for now I'm just enjoying what we have.He always says he doesn’t want to coach into his 60s. We have him for about 10 more years

At that point we replace him with Kimani or Luke. They'll both have 6-8 years head coaching under their belts at that point.He always says he doesn’t want to coach into his 60s. We have him for about 10 more years
If he wants to join his dad in the HoF he stays at UCONN wins two or three more and he is there. He will need longevity and nattys to get there. I think another decade and two more and he starts to get considered.It depends on how he feels about coaching at the collegiate level. There's obviously things the NBA could do to limit college basketball's attraction, but if he hits a groove where he's got two decades of great to elite play out of a college basketball program? That's alluring.
Hence my use of the 40 and 50 year benchmarks above.Championships that happened during segregation when the tournament was 12 teams do not count.
In the last 50 years:I tend to be visual so I like this graphic.

Bye Kansas! Hello Indiana and Duke, for the time being. Watch out UNC, UConn is coming for you next.
UConn is the uncle who goes off the grid for years at a time and then shows up for the best Thanksgiving ever; in a sports culture that worships dynasties, they’re on the Grover Cleveland plan. Every few years, these weirdos show up out of nowhere to be the best team in the sport.
