Dan Orlovsky has some strong words for AD/UConn

[Chief00]

I'm sure AD Dave still thinks Orlovsky is a butthead, but he's not gonna say that to the press.

They are both former football players and both have probably said some dumb things before - no big deal - just move on

Sorry about your Dad missing a National Championship. Makes me think about how the great Joe McGinn just missed it too but was still an inspiration to the team.

Who else but you would link my father w/Joe McGinn?
I'd say that only my sister would get this, but how would I explain Chief?

I’m sure the feeling is mutual.

Hans - It’s the ultimate compliment. Anyone who was fortunate enough to know Joe admired his courage, fire and loyalty. Back then a Championship was viewed as a once in a lifetime gift that you appreciated and felt blessed when it did happen. There was no entitlement. It’s ironic that a few that deserved that Championship experience the most came so close but left us just before it happened. I can’t explain why but maybe if you believe in Heaven - they helped get us over the hump?

Understood.
During the 2014 run, I thought of my teen pal Dan who had been to all 4 prior F4s, but passed from cancer at a too young age in January. Phil Martelli's grandson was no match.

I will forever be grateful that my Grandfather at 90 got to see that first one. He passed that August. He used have me watch the games with him in 80’s on channel 20 wtxx I think it was.. He never missed a game..

I think even the farm animals on horse barn hill realized it was time to fire Diaco, so I'm not sure Benedict realizing that is particularly remarkable...

This might be true, but could those farm animals raise the buyout money from donors?
