New AD to speak at RAC at halftime tonight

[ScarletStateofNJ]

Hobb is attending tonight's BB game and is expected to give a brief speech at halftime.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Now THAT is interesting!

I wonder if it will be shown during the broadcast? Hope this isn't another bad rumor

.

 

[Caliknight]

I like how this guy rolls.

 

[RickB113]

I just want him to say "you are going to be proud of our programs and particularly proud when in "X" number of days our football team crushes that team from Pennsylvania!!" Lets get this thing started with a bang.

 

[SanFranRutgers]

I like how this guy rolls.

It's a got a "Tressel at OSU basketball halftime, day after hire" feel to it.

 

[RUMBA-JK]

He probably knows a thing or two about what a big time basketball atmosphere is like - he got his Law Degree from UNC - Chapel Hill in 1985 ... so in his first and second years of Law School he might have caught a game or two when Sam Perkins, Matt Doherty, Michael Jordan and Brad Daugherty, played.

What if he pulls a rabbit out of his hat and announces Greg as the new head football coach and brings him out with him...

 

[OTBOTOR]

So how'd he do?

 

[graystork]

This, ladies and gentlemen is how to handle a press conference. Met him very briefly and shook his hand. So far so good.

 

[ru66]

what an absolute, refreshing pleasure/difference--light years ahead --it's obvious that RU knows they needed someone skilled with the media and could project professinalism

 

[Scarlet4ever]

Obviously this is just a glimpse of Hobbs, but it is very refreshing to see someone heading our Athletic Department that can handle themselves in front of the media. Great start for him.

 

[Ascent]

Very impressed with the way PH handled that press conference. He could be a high-quality AD.

Go Barchi and RU!

 

[Extra Point]

My source says that he is being paid 600k, 150K more than Julie was paid. Christie takes care of his man.

It's open info that he got a 590K a year deal. Perhaps you need to fire your source for being inexact.

 

[mildone]

I sort of felt like he missed a golden opportunity to joke about NJ.COM/SL going out of business.

 

[RUonBrain]

Holy S

As they say, "I think it moved"

This guy is tremendous with the media.
Also love he knows Jersey.
I heart Pat.

Bac - time to plop Pat's head on the horse!

 

[Caliknight]

Definitely impressive and has his priorities straight. Get the football coach, get to fundraising. This ain't rocket science.
