A Couple of Geno Facts I Didn't Know

[RockyMTblue2]

Here is a video of a speech by Jackie MacMullen, who wrote a Geno book, In Pursuit of Perfection. A lot is about NE pro teams, but this bit about Geno provides a couple of glimpses of the young kid I had never heard before. I found it interesting. It's just 3 or 4 minutes. The first bit is about how we almost didn't get Geno in America. Ends around 13:30 mark.

Nice clip. She did share some things I did not know about Luigi err, Geno. She is a revolving panelist on ESPN's Around the Horn.

Tears came to the eyes---I thought I knew EVERYTHING Geno--.
The burn scars on Geno--made him tough.
I looked at the Census reports about relatives coming from Quebec Prov Canada cica 1915/20 and few went beyond 2nd grade. Most became carpenters/cabinet makers--go figure few professions use fractions as often and conversion as that one does.
I'm a bit older than Geno's Mom and while the Depression was the pits me and mine were OFFERED a HS education- and I was born in repressive United States of America /Ct.

I listened to the whole thing and she sure has been around. I liked what I saw. Can't say I've ever gotten much out of Woody and Co. on the Horn .

Geno Auriemma is one of the few outstanding coaches that really has his s---- together!
The more you hear and read about his life the more impressed you become with the man!

Me too. I like MacMullan, as you say, she's been for a while, and "around the horn" a few times as well. As for Woody, he's one of the audience's and the producer's favorites. Once you get use to him and his "shtick", he's hard not to like. I've been a fan of that show since its debut. I like Mr. Tony and his sidekick that follow ATH as well.
