Podcast: Get to Know In-Game Host Conor

[gwhuskyfan]

HI all,

I know there have been some hot takes around in-game host Conor. I got some time with Conor for an episode of my podcast and wanted to share. Thought it'd give everyone some good insight into Conor and his roles at games:

 

[Waquoit]

Conor's fine. Anything that gives us less Tuite is OK by me.

 

[wheelerdog]

I think he should lead the left right left chant as well

 

[gampelcrazies]

I think UConn should do away with in game hosts. People don’t come to games for that type of entertainment.

Spend the money on red panda and the frisbee dogs for halftime entertainment.

I admit, although I don’t like the whole idea of having sponsored contests during every break, Conor seems to know his stuff about hoops and is not anywhere near as annoying as he could be - he is very professional. I think he does a great job. Also, I think he was at the Indiana game at MSG in some sweet UCONN suit, so he’s a fan too!

Just don’t get on the mic and lead the UCONN - HUSKIES chant. That’s awful.

 

[Kenny11]

I want a female replacement

We talk about this right at the end of the pod! That was him in the UConn Christmas suit

Met him personally several times. Great dude!

 

[XLCenterFan]

Just listened. I like him. I have to tell my father to stop talking trash about him now - he doesn't like the "circus," as he calls it.

Blue - White is much better!

surely a great guy, great personality and voice, talented public speaker - role not needed

Exactly. What does it matter if he’s a good guy? We don’t go to games because of the Moe’s burrito challenge or the other garbage UConn throws his way.

Maybe find him another role in UConn athletics.

 

[Waquoit]

It puts money in the coffers. Suck it up!

 

[Siv]

In a perfect world, I much prefer a less manufactured fan experience
I thought he jumped in front of Big Red a couple of times on Sunday which isn’t ideal.

What happened to Gina Salvatore?

What happened to Gina Salvatore?

She does men's hockey stuff. Was working with Hartford Athletic before. Said she would fill in at basketball games if needed but I don't believe she's had any yet this year.

 

[WrenchFan69]

I miss Emily Noonan

Completely different. We did it after WSU timeouts when Big Red would typically lead his cheer. Not cool.
