Amusing comment re: Geno in the Austin Statesman

[pap49cba]

5. Gail Goestenkors got a one-year reprieve from her athletic director, Chris Plonsky, and let's hope she makes the most of it. If not, Texas should call Geno Auriemma and offer him $2 million a year for 10 years. It's not as if Texas doesn't have the money, and Geno surely could use a new challenge. Maybe Texas could offer a Geno Network.

I know they're being partially facetious, but that's just a silly notion. Find a talented, young coach who can be the face of your program for the next 30 years. Geno ain't coming for a $400,000 raise. He's 57, a grandfather, a northeastern guy, and Chris would need to come too.

We already have a Geno Network - this state already is All Geno, All the Time.

Right. I'm not sure the Philly humor/sarcasm would play well in Texas.

If GG hasn't played well recruiting in TX imagine Geno.

It won't happen but Geno would fit in Texas. If Kim Mulkey can then Geno can. I would have said Geno and Gary Blair would make quite a pair, but A&M is going to the SEC.

I'm sure the Texas fans that believe in the Old Girls Network would have problems with Geno

If not a TV Network all his own, then perhaps they could offer him a theme park - GenoLand!

Imagine the attractions they could have:

The House of Horrors, where you have to listen to an hour-long harangue after missing a layup.
The Unending Interview, where you have to try to find the exit while pursued by a horde of Longhorn journalism majors.
The Incredible Shrinking Pizza, where every time you take this ride the pizza gets smaller and the price goes up a buck.

No way, Geno looks terrible in gold lamee and he would kill himself in those heels.

And just where have you been hanging out with Geno????

Think about the challenge, biff. Geno in high-heeled, lizard skinned cowboy boots. I mean the glod lamee is easy.

One goes whereever necessary to do ministry.

He'd look like Elvis.

Sorry, but I doubt this guy could coach.

That is really hard on my eyes on a Monday morning.

Lee was understated and subtle--NOT!
