Hodg GameDay: AAC Championship USF v. Wichita St, 3:15pm ESPN

[phil77]

Congrats future Syracuse coach Hodgson and USF

Hate this. You aren't going to get 14 points in under a minute, but we will spend 5 minutes reviewing something that in the end won't matter.

 

[kingtidge]

That is a team leader there. Something also that we have been missing.

Started as a D2 player as well... Hodg has an eye for under radar talent...

What a jerk, with 45 seconds left down 14 get the game ovet.

I would've wanted Hodgson regardless of this outcome. At the very least, this win negates the argument that GMac made the tourney and Hodgson hasn't, therefore he's a better hire. That viewpoint obviously lacks nuance, as judging competence entirely on the success of a single elimination tournament is silly, though I guarantee you many people would've tried to make that exact point.

Plus Hodgson was more dominant, and in a much better conference, than Gmac

 

[hoopsupstate]

Maybe they will play in Buffalo? A lot of SU fans might show up.

15 point win in the title game impressive. Lots of good adjustment made on offense by Hodgson

 

[Lukeyloo]

Hodg is the only correct answer at HC. I need SU to make it happen..

 

[Toga]

Lots of hugs from Hodgson. Did Red ever have a hugging relationship with any player?

Asked Troy Aikman of his agent

 

[llandz]

Bryan you have a phone call. Please go to the nearest phone...

 

[Cuseregular]

Good to see you come around, man.

Ok yeah let’s get this guy. That postgame scene suggests to me a solid culture builder too. Sign me up!

 

[Toga]

Good to see you come around, man.

This time I know our side will win.

 

[721Comstock]

Bryan you have a phone call. Please go to the nearest Orange courtesy phone...

FIFY

Look, anyone that's not on board the BH train is just making up reasons at this point.

And that was true before we knew the likely end of this game.

It just makes sense for everyone.

Folks are overselling their arguments on this one coach. We weren't allowed to be excited for GMacs victory, but now we have to be excited for this victory?
I hope they are doing a national search, & their due diligence on all coaches. If he gets it after all that, let's go. But, let it play out. If they don't go with an assistant from a blueblood, I'd like to know why.
Not sure it matters, but I hope our future coach wins 1 or 2 in the NCAAT. I doubt GMac will, but I'd assume USF gets one. Seems good for the sell to new recruits & image of the new coach.
Will be fun to see it play out. At least, I now have a reason to watch some teams during March.
Decisive victory. Wichita St equaled their grit, but couldn't hit shots & turned it over due to the constant defensive pressure.

Come on Wildhack, get it done

 

[Toga]

He is flying to Syracuse right after the game and boy will his arms be tired.

This guy has done it at 2 different places plus was an assistant to a good school in the SEC, so he meets your criteria. Sign him and get it
over with, he is a good recruiter to add with a great feel for coaching the game.
If he is willing to come don't mess around and blow it.

Any concerns about OTJ training if we hire an assistant from a blue blood? We've kind of experienced some growing pains with that with both football and basketball the last couple seasons.

We all do!

 

[Widget24]

Landing Hodgson would feel too good to be true for me, which is also what scares the crap out of me. I've really been leaning on the insiders' confidence that we can/will get him to keep me sane until there's an official announcement. Anyone else in this boat with me?

 

[hoopsupstate]

South Florida vs. Louisville at Buffalo on a Thursday.

 

[llandz]

ANd boom. There it is. Cuse fans, all get tickets and turn Buffalo Orange...and green.

Dude.

I directly mentioned the win today didn't even matter.
