Big goals discussed. Title #6 and Banner 18 in his final season.

Mike Gorman has seen it all. From the Navy to calling Big East games to a legendary Celtics career. He was gracious to give his time to a future sports broadcaster. High on both UConn and Boston’s postseason potential this year!

Our 1st two part Podcast drop. It’s about the highs/lows of fandom. Celtics vs the Mavs.

Nice job getting Gorman as a guest. I was there last night too.

We invited him as a future guest. Just met for the 1st time yesterday and took a few pictures. Talked Big East days, when he called games and the potential of UConn & the Celtics. Yesterday’s game was loads of fun. All the stars played well.

And Kyrie got booed a lot! I saw someone from the Celtics front office before the game and he asked me if the fans would still boo Kyrie. I said hell yeah they would. He said it's been a while so maybe the Celtics fans would start to forget. Nope, not at all. Kyrie was 9-23 and 1-7 from three so maybe it bothered him. He is a Class A douchenozzle.

The 2nd pod we did, is our Sounds of the Game. You can hear the boos raining down. It’s wild. No love whatsoever. They booed so long in intros, you don’t even hear Luka announced as playing, which was uncertain all day.

Let us know what you think!

Admittedly I don’t listen, but why is the podcast named “Sliders and Curveballs” when you seemingly talk about basketball every episode?

They talk about all kinds of stuff, but it’s pretty obvious that as a CT podcast, they know where their bread is buttered. I’m not sure they intended that when they started, but UConn Nation has been very good to them. They get a lot of great UConn and other basketball related guests. How can they turn it down?

It’s a great hobby this guy has taken up with his son. They are making epic memories together.

Whatever it's called, you should listen to it. You're clearly a huge fan of uconn ball and the way these players respond to Joseph (the son) is refreshing. it's an interview devoid of platitudes.

More BYers should listen to these interviews. We'll go gaga over a canned, platitude laden press release but these interviews are different. listen to the Karaban interview from last season. You get the real guy. Joseph has a way of disarming these players where they end up being themselves. The hosts ask the questions we'd love to ask.

Right in front of you then. Section 18, on the floor along the baseline between the Celtics bench and the basket.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Started off when my son was in Tball, but now many of our fans have watched him grow up on air. My 1st love is UConn basketball and I figured a kid asking adults tough questions might be a nice play on words with (pitches) hence a slider & curveball.

I’m thrilled you’ve enjoyed our sports journey. Wherever it takes us, and however long it lasts.

Thank you!

Thank you Jay, for always supporting our hobby. We’re fans, creating an audio diary for ourselves, that we think, like minded fans might enjoy.

I’m hoping there’s more great interviews and adventures in store for both of us!

As a Red Sox fan to speak with Yo8i Berra’s family, or have Hassan tell Joseph you don’t need to be a starter to impact a game, plus guys like Alex or Tyler Olander saying, it’s very important to study to play, is priceless.

In addition to meeting players I’ve rooted for over the years. It makes all the planning, studio time, booking of guests, editing, worth the effort.

Thank you!

Wow Gorman! That's a blast from the past. He's synonymous with the start of the Big East.

 

[GemParty]

It’s a nice angle to the court.

 

[GemParty]

Soon!

 

[dennismenace]

For all the years Gorman looks like he could go on for decades. Great broadcaster whose excitement during games is contagious. You can tell he loves the game and what he is doing. Not a Celtics fan but he is one great announcer.

As we all enjoy and cheer on our guys in March Madness, we’ll let the media, coaches, and players zero in on their goals.

We kickoff Spring 1st week of April with a great pod about one of baseballs Greatest hitters, Ted Williams. Hope you’ll tune in.

Thank you for supporting us. I’d say atleast a third or more of our 75 shows are UConn related, then MLB & NBA. Since, we’ve started it seams like dozens of UConn podcasts have popped up. All you need is passion and a microphone. We try not to take it too seriously, but want to share our love of sports from drastically different age perspectives.

Thank you.

Mike & Joseph

You've been doing this for years. Why isn't your kid in college by now?

Funny you should say that. Next year he enters the 7th grade.

A couple months ago we’re setting up our room and microphones to interview Tyler Olander in the SJU AD’s office, so Joseph says, “I can’t wait to be in college, it’s my dream to eat snacks all day in a Dorm room.”

Lord help me.
