Listening now!

Main takeaways:

His approach to trying to hire Dambrot "let's dare to dream" he said Dambrot bought in right away and has a special place in his heart for DU because of his father.

On the question "what is the future of the mikes do you have any chance of keeping them?"

Harper: I told them you will have all kind of people coming at you in the next couple weeks. Stressed they be patient. Make your decision after you meet the coaches and give them the opportunity to hear from each of them, then make your decision. Harper said he thinks they could be enticed to stay with this staff.

Mentioned budget and facilities
"We are equipped to compete with any schools at our level. Changes will come and we will see a transformation to the program in the coming years.

In three years he expects to be in the middle of the pack nipping at the heels of the top of the league.

All but confirmed the facilities renovation but didn't get specific and mentioned funding was still not completely finalized. Will be major renovations as we've heard because he mentioned it will be a season maybe two that we will have to play outside the Palumbo. He said they were in the midst of looking at all Comcepts but he wants it to be an elite A10 facility.

There was a lot more but those were just some of my takeaways I'm sure someone will post the link to the interview when it goes up.

Harper is so freaking impressive, it's a new day boys!

I think they're serving crow at the presser for the Post-Gazette reporters.

Followed by a tour of campus on our bandwagon.

Dunlap was being Dunlap.  Chose the announcement to question whether DU should have football.   

I apologize for calling Harper a joker.   Glad to be wrong.   

Presser is at 6:30 Thursday.

During or after the interview - did the 93.7 crew stand by their earlier assessment that Coach Ferry should have been retained and that Duquesne made a major mistake in firing him?

And are the local press doing the same?

Of course not. They are highlighting last years record and the players who have requested a release to try to build the case that he has a lot of work to do to turn this program around. It's a joke they look foolish but I'm happy.
