The Calhoun Project E:60

[The Viking]

This is awesome.....

They also need to do a 30 for 30 on UConn basketball !

The fact that they haven't done a full 30 for 30 on Geno and Jim being hired within a year of each other at a school many people had never heard of before is amazing to me.
Those two hires are as impactful as anything that has happened in college basketball over the last 30+ years.

I just watched it on demand. My only complaint is that I wish it was a full hour.

Its a 4 part series so there are still 3 more episodes to air. Not sure if it is an every Sunday morning for the next few weeks or not. Still trying to figure out when the rest of the episodes will air.

So, now we know JC has Stage 4 stomach cancer.

Huh?

He talks about it in this podcast from this past November. He had half his stomach removed and was cancer free post surgery/treatment. Tough bastard.

He is a bad ass. Hasn't he battled cancer before in the past as well? He's a fighter.

As tough as they come. Calhoun is inspirational to me and quantifies my own personal struggles.

 

[Marat]

Excellent episode. I also liked that Coach K talked about that 99 win and Boeheim said that Calhoun's build up of Uconn was the best ever.

It seems the next episodes will be about St Joes.

Yeah i was just hoping that each "chapter" was going to be an hour.

That was great. Its nice to finally see things like this about Jim Calhoun and UConn since it just seems like JC is so underrated from a national perspective. All of us obviously agree with Coach K when he said Calhoun is one of the greatest coaches in all of sports, not just college basketball.

They are probably doing this to boost ratings. They know people are tuning in to watch the Calhoun part. Thats why it was tbe second segment of the show.

 

[ZenConn]

That is freakin gold.

Hail to John Toner!

 

[UConnDad]

Wonder if the boys watched it. Jalen sure had some renewed enthusiasm.

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

Anyway to watch this like on demand or on espn plus or something?

 

[Calhoun's Court]

This was excellent. I can't wait for the next episode.

Loved the line -"some people have photo albums - I have Rings" (big grin from JC and me)

 

[crazyUCfan23]

Yes its on demand under Sports->ESPN-> E:60

 

[CL82]

This is straight up UConn right now

Definitely. We should get the rights to replay this at the champions center.

Hail to John Toner!

It’s ironic that an ex football coach hired two HOF basketball coaches.

 

[Ts5034]

Hail to John Toner!

Yes, a member of the “Huskies of Honor” and rightfully so.

It's for those who like Classi-Cal:

"You guys understand, you all can only do it, together.
As much as you want to compete against a teammate, compete.
And pick his ass up and beat him again. Make him better. MAKE HIM BETTER!
I know you may find this funny, you don't truly know me yet, I actually take this sh_t really serious, I mean real serious."

Does it matter now that he only hired one?

Who hired the other one - it was a long time ago.
