McGrath was replaced by assistant coach Rob Burke, who's only previous collegiate head coaching experience came at Spartanburg Methodist College, where he led the Pioneers to a 112-67 record over six years. Burke graduated from Chowan University in 1998, where his primary claim to fame was playing with G:TB's very own Mark Hughes.
In Burke's first game as head coach, UNCW took Hofstra to the wire, losing by two points on the final play of the game. Then, yesterday, the Seahawks beat perennial conference power Northeastern in overtime for their first CAA win of the season.
And Burke was a pretty great post-game listen:
Awesome shout out to both Brett Blizzard and Rob’s father, Bob Burke, the best basketball mind I’ve ever met as well.
ReplyDeleteJust got home from accompanying zdaughter to a birthday party. Is Damien Williams rocking Jordan I cleats?
ReplyDeleteMahomes!!!!
ReplyDeleteBefriended the Chiefs honeymoon couple, their entire marriage might hinge on the result of this game.
ReplyDeleteThose are ones.
ReplyDeleteYes, Z, those are ones. He’s been rocking them all postseason. Florida is a Jordan school so a bunch of the guys on Florida’s football team rocked orange and blue Jordan 1 cleats.
ReplyDeleteI am always intrigued and impressed by Mark and Zman’s fondness for cool footwear. I myself know of and feel nothing for it, but that doesn’t mean I don’t check out what they like and follow along as a non-participant. It’s what we at GTB admire as passion.
ReplyDeleteI was at a small soirée and missed a lot of football today. I didn’t miss much. Highlight of my night was telling folks about Jimmy G‘s high profile date w/ a porn star. A google search of that woman gets graphic in a hurry. Some women at that party who found him handsome were not amused by this info. Some husbands were very amused.
ReplyDeletewe did one of those dog dna tests for our pupper. turns out that our girl, who looks like a black lab and bays like a hound, is 25% beagle, 25% german shepard, 12.5% golden retriever, 12.5% lab, 12.5% bloodhound, and 12.5% miscellaneous. she's a mississippi mutt.
ReplyDeleteHe’s cute, ain’t he? Only problem is, he’s got a little bit of Mississippi leg hound in him. If the mood catches him right, he’ll grab your leg, and just go to town.
