Geno on the Lowe Post Podcast

[Gus Mahler]

He is probably sensitive to making statements which could undermine his own university re conference realignment, etc. If he just sticks to WBB, 1) that's his area of expertise, and 2) the mainstream doesn't pay any attention to WBB anyway so who cares what he says

Good thought.

When does the season start??!!! Please hurry!!

One of the most enjoyable podcasts I have listened to in quite some time. Refreshingly honest and blunt, covering a wide array of topics.

I am a Lowe fan and listen to his podcast often, but this was the best yet.

It's funny how different people react to things differently. When I heard him say some of our fans are GD idiots, etc. I thought to myself, "well, what do you know? Geno reads the Boneyard."

Exactly. There are plenty of idiots in this very thread. Not sure if I'd go so far as to say GD idiots, but idiots none the less.

I don't want Geno as social, political or NCAA commentator. I want him as Coach and chief agitator of the UConn Women Huskies. That is what he is supremely gifted at doing. I just can't wait to get into the 2015-16 season. Now we are in a dead zone as far as team news and recruits and it stinks. I know one palliative: get on YouTube and watch the Huskies pound someone. Yeah, I know it's a cheap fix, but it works for a while.

It works for a long while. Just put on last year's Texas game. Or the 2013 or 2014 title games.

The 2014 Final is my favorite, especially a shell-shocked Muffett after the game saying "I thought we were playing the Miami Heat."

I agree, particularly that Texas game. Holy Cow! Now I have to tell a story. Over 10 years ago, shortly after we moved to Montana, my wife and I had to go to a neighborhood "do" smack dab when the Huskies were playing an NCAA tourney game and I could not beg off. So I got the host to dial it in in his "man cave", though he could not understand a guy watching WCBB etc., and I want to say the opponent was Iowa. Well, the Huskies ate them alive and mid 3rd quarter half the folks at this cocktail party were in the cave expressing disbelief that these were "girls". When UConn gets the motor running, it's fun to watch ... fan or new fan.

I listened to the entire interview (a luxury when in (a hospital) bed all day with a TV, mouse, and keyboard that gives me access to The Boneyard Permit a few thoughts about the interview:

- First half hour was better than the second.
- Geno said some of the fans were. . .stupid.
- The examples (stupidity of some fans) were of individuals with whom he had contact, personally or email. No mention of the Boneyard.
- Geno's tales about Diana were priceless.​

Permit a digression here. I can think of only three other coach-player relationships that match Geno-Diana: Pop-Tim, Russ-Red, and Belichek-Brady.

- [continuing] I liked Geno the UConn BB coach, but as a movie critic, um, He should stick to his day job.​
