The accolades will keep coming for a long time. It was a spectacular chance of FATE that put Geno and CD at the school in 1985 at the same time and that they talked and came to the conclusion that they can work together and VIOLA!! UCONN history. I said it once before that they have to be the longest tenured duo in BB history. Continued greatness to both.. GO HUSKIES!!!!!

Some of this is old news, but they are great articles unfortunately probably behind a pay wall from the Athletic (maybe they give you a story or two for free.) I also enjoy almost all the comment sections - they must have good admins editing out the trash, like we have here on the BY!)

The appearance of the goat brought the biggest smile to Geno's face all night.

Do we know if the goat crapped on the paper ??

 

[UcMiami]

After Geno's comment, that poor goat had to stand on that red carpet until about 3 AM this morning when he finally did his business and was allowed back home. He and his handlers were not happy about it, but it did make the night watchman's job less tedious.

Can you believe that PETA is complaining about goat abuse? You got to be kidding me...

That article was not worth the effort to read, which I unfortunately did.
