my stab at a top ten only included places with populations under 100K. So no SF, Boston, Charleston, Berkeley, Fort Collins, Cambridge, Austin, Providence, Madison, NOLA, Ann Arbor, Columbus, etc Santa Barbara SLO Flagstaff Santa Cruz Bozeman Missoula Burlington Bloomington (would be so much better with legal weed obviously, but alas) Amherst Charlottesville (surrounding area brings it up over 100K but city self is under from what I can tell) need to check out Durango and Gunnison ASAP. Also want to go to Annapolis badly, but that seems like a different environment. Asheville and Evanston were probably the hardest places to leave off. Also like Iowa City and Fayetteville. The Maine liberal arts colleges have nice small towns too sweet country we've got here. Let's get weed legalized everywhere and then it'd all just be the tits
Yeah, Boone > Asheville if you're talking college towns. Asheville is great but UNCA isn't much of a presence compared to other things. Boone is the more true college town
yup my aunt moved there about 10 years ago. NC is a state that would see its stock really take off with legal weed
Yea I liked West Point, esp in Fall, then Air Force then Navy. But I would go back to Colorado Springs just bc of recreation.
Next time Miami plays at UC you should go down and check out campus. I’d imagine that will be a pretty lit tailgate
If UConn was smart like me they would have hired 35 year old Minnesota assistant Joe Harasmyiak, former Maine head coach and NJ native. I'm gonna start my own search firm.
Why would he want that job? It's a dead end. If you have further aspirations in coaching you aren't taking the UConn job. There's only one way it's going to end. I think there's a reason Jim Mora and Al Golden were the names that surfaced here.
You could be right that he would have no interest but he would do well I think, the experience of being a HC already in that non-hotbed area of talent and still being young is a great mix. I'll be keeping an eye on his career.
If UConn had any semblance of a plan for where that program is going he'd be a great fit. He should have his pick of MAC (or similar) jobs in the near future where there's actually a blueprint for what success looks like. What does success at UConn look like right now? Going 3-9 there with an independent schedule is probably a successful season. But that's not going to look particularly convincing on the resume.
Your experiences may vary, but I did not enjoy driving by the Baylor campus, stuck in traffic on I-35 during never-ending road construction.
Same. Never actually toured facilities or any of that shit, but drove through there on I-35 on way to Dripping Springs last month and drove all through campus as a detour because traffic was horrible on way back and drove by stadium. Other than the stadium, it was pretty much a nice and flat shithole.
Waco is an absolute shit hole and while the campus is decent, I can also vouch for road construction on 35 being absolutely horrific the last year plus. SMU is the nicest college campus I’ve visited in Texas
Lot of smoke that we are finalizing an extension & pay increase with Mel Tucker. Somewhere in the $7mm range
He’s decently connected to the athletic department. There’s also a second local guy, unrelated, that also brought this up today.
their basketball arena is the biggest shithole in the Big 12 by far, it feels like you’re watching a game in a dimly lit dungeon
