When the Cincinnati Bengals tweeted Saturday night at Dan Hurley, who has led the UConn Huskies to back-to-back national championships, about his availability next Sunday, many wondered whether Hurley might be the Bengals' Ruler of the Jungle for their September 8 home opener against the New England Patriots.
Hurley, who has said he's been a fan of the Bengals since the Freezer Bowl, concluded postgame remarks after UConn's win against Xavier in January at Cintas Center by saying, "Thank you. Who Dey."
The Bengals' Ruler of the Jungle for last season's home opener was former star receiver AJ Green.
