Herbst and Manuel on Live Radio - 9 am 12/19

[ibleedhuskyblue]

this interviewer is decent.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Typical weenie lib NPR host now ripping sports.

 

[specialisthusky]

Your damn right u come into my neighborhood and ask me about tOSU id talk football

 

[junglehusky]

SH - not enough attention to everything else, have to talk about our academic excellence. (BYers will love that... how about selling athletics)

 

[HuskyHawk]

So if I summarize the posts (can't listen live) it sounds like "UConn is royaly screwed but will endeavor to persevere".

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Geezus with this caller suggesting we be done with big time sports.

 

[Vuce]

Ken Krayeske called in!!! NOT A DIME BACK!!!!

 

[specialisthusky]

Wow first caller asks us to be done with sports and become univ of chicago...they hung up on him

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

yikes....the first caller just asked if we can drop athletics.

facepalms

 

[junglehusky]

Hey it's WNPR. Safe to say this caller isn't a UConn fan, probably not a UConn grad.

 

[ddminct]

It was ken krayeske wasn't it?

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

this will be a long hour if the calls are like that.
now i remember why i dont listen to NPR

 

[junglehusky]

On paying students - WM sounds like he's open to talking about it but main thing is getting the degree...

 

[junglehusky]

It was ken krayeske wasn't it?

A distinct possibility - he did say his name is Ken.

 

[OkaForPrez]

WTF!!!

 

[specialisthusky]

Oh my god i m calling I can't take this liberal npr wahoos

 

[TheRogers]

cheat sheets!?!

 

[specialisthusky]

My internet feed went out anyone elses?

 

[CTMike]

So if I summarize the posts (can't listen live) it sounds like "UConn is royaly screwed but will endeavor to persevere".

So far that's exactly what it sounds like. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Disappointing but not unexpected.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

On hold right now.

 

[ibleedhuskyblue]

callers =

I haven't been listening but I'm a UConn grad, a sports fan and I listen to NPR quite often. Dankofskey is a pretty good interviewer often. Sets you up with softballs then suddenly he zings you and doesn't let up. But he does it nicely...I'm not listening today but I've heard him do it with various politicians, business people and such.

 

[junglehusky]

Dankosky - did MBB APR situation / postseason ban play a part in realignment?

SH - we didn't hear that, a lot of it was about football, thanked Jacobs (and another writer, didn't hear who) for thoughtful pieces on the matter.

 

[junglehusky]

WM... on a NCAA rules working group. Thinks rules on text messaging will be changed.

Spot on! I think he is doing a very good job in this interview. First two calls... lets just say they are the furthest thing from Boneyarders...
