UConn’s Dan Hurley Unleashed the Loudest F-Bomb on ESPN’s ‘College GameDay’

The Connecticut Huskies men’s basketball coach had no filter during Saturday’s appearance on College GameDay.

Dan Hurley must have forgotten that he was on television for a brief moment during a Saturday appearance on ESPN’s College GameDay at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn. 

The ESPN crew, which featured Hurley as a guest as part of its pregame show, had the UConn men’s basketball coach shoot half-court shots during a segment at one point.

Hurley, a former college basketball player at Seton Hall, failed to hit the shot after several attempts. As time ran out, the Huskies coach let out a loud, drawn-out F-bomb, which was caught by ESPN microphones, in frustration.

When ESPN returned from a commercial break, College GameDay host Rece Davis perfectly played off the moment, apologizing and referencing the movie A Christmas Story.

“We apologize for that,” Davis said. “In the immortal words of the narrator from A Christmas Story, ‘Only he didn’t say fudge.’”

Hurley, who’s known for his intensity, likely became lost in the moment of trying to make the half-court shot in front of the Huskies faithful, simply forgetting it was merely a lighthearted segment on television. 

But Davis played off of it like a true professional.
