on now

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

always a good interview, especially talking about the BET.

 

[superjohn]

Listening now, makes me so sad that the best thing in basketball is over.

Francesca giving us some nice compliments in this interview too

This conversation needs to be heard by anyone who thinks realignment is good for college sports.

 

[Dove]

Remember when Fatman had contempt for Calhoun? When did that change?

I don't think anyone thinks that it is good for sports. But it makes perfect sense for the schools who are involved financially. It's going to diminish the overall value of the game, but the rich will get richer.

 

[UConnLen]

Just said that JC built a dynasty and kept the BE afloat until Pitt etc got better.

Of course it makes sense financially, but I suspect somewhere down the line there's going to be a lot of people who realize it badly damaged the product on the field/court because of the elimination of rivalries and events such as the BET.

When he got over Fatboy for slamming Rod Sellers. I missed the last part when he started talking about scheduling. Since he can't talk about how we want get in a better conference than the America 12, they have to dance around that.

Went to great lengths both during the interview and afterward to say how UConn was the face of the Big East after the 80's and that was due to JC. Really came down on Calhoun's side as being an icon compared to the other coaches in the league when you look at UConn's achievements over the last 25 years.

The loss of the Big East makes you really feel sad when you realize--like Calhoun said-- that it didn't have to happen.

 

[Yonick]

JC also said he expects everybody to return next year.

 

[sledog]

Replay????

 

[aceboon]

on with a caller now and Fatso said JC is the best coach in the history of the BE and its not even open for debate.

It's not up for debate, even if you go over to the loony bin Syracuse forum they all say the same.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

JC also said he expects everybody to return next year.

Loved it when JC slipped that in.

It really isn't open for debate. The only coach you can make an argument was better than Calhoun over the last 25 years is K. No one else.

You can't just look at wins. You have to look at who won compared to what the program they inherited was before they got there. I would take what Calhoun did over K, but those who go with K and the more consistent wins year to year to year, I have no issue with that. But Roy Williams? I could win as many games as he did at UNC. Boeheim? A great coach but not even close to Calhoun. And on, and on.

 

[aceboon]

...and now someone just called and said Mike was too soft on Calhoun given his history with graduation rates, violations, and player arrests, and he can't go ahead of Thompson or Boeheim(!!!) because of that. Haven't listened to Mike's show in weeks, time to turn this off now.

 

[aceboon]

It's not up for debate, even if you go over to the loony bin Syracuse forum they all say the same.

Oh I know, just felt good to hear him say it so emphatically, cuz I know it probably irks the hell out of Syracuse and the rest of the BE fans in the tri-state area.

 

[James]

I enjoy the love from fatso. It's also hilarious how much of a YouTube sensation he's become.

there was alot of gold mined from that show during the entire Manti Teo fiasco, Mike was swimming out of his element trying to discuss all the topics that came out of that.

 

[James]

Hahaha so great. Between his love for Brandon Inge (YouTube it) and falling asleep listening to a mets reporter, starting the like him as entertainment.

It was the Yankee beat reporter.

 

[James]

True true. how about the "I was not asleep" response.
