The Rams are coached by Dan Hurley, who is in his third year at URI after turning around the Wagner program in two seasons.

Comish Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 While the whole "perception" issue is being discussed at length in the football forum, I was surprised to read that Miles is only 5 games above .500 at Nebraska. (certainly he inherited suspect talent and got stuck in a very competitive league; but I would have guessed his local record was better than that). No mistake, I'm a huge Miles supporter and think he has done extremely well extremely fast.........BUT it goes to show how perception influences things. There is such a positive attitude and outlook on the whole program that (if one ONLY looked at the w/l record) might not be warranted. But again, getting to the Dance and finishing strong (last 2 games not withstanding) can elevate perception mightily. Makes one wonder how MUCH things would change if Bo won a big national game and/or a conference championship. Quote Link to comment
RedTexan Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Don't know what difference it makes, but I have Directv and there is no channel 636. My Directv schedule has the game on channel 639 and the huskers dot com schedule shows the game on 639 as well. http://www.huskers.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=100&SPID=24&SPSID=22&DB_OEM_ID=100 Quote Link to comment

I may or may not have spent too much time at a bar last night and then quickly wrote this after I got home. Quote Link to comment
