The case for Rob Dauster

[max2021]

@RobDauster How do you justify being friends / colleagues with Jeff Goodman?

 

[lateralous]

Why does Goodman get so much crap? Is it just because he’s a little awkward? I listen to plenty of Field of 68 and I’ve always found him to be insightful.

I love CBS Eye on College Basketball's Matt Norlander. He is an excellent reporter, extremely knowledgeable and fair, a close contact of Dan Hurley, and he lives in Connecticut (even though it's not the 860). He always gives UConn our flowers during his show, and he has a really nice mix of humor along with his anlysis with Gary Parrish.

I second this. Norlander is the best out there and he isn't a homer necissarily but is very pro-UConn.

I was psyched to use the ignore thread feature for the first time, but it's gone?

So basically you like sugarcoating and non-objectivity. Niiiiiice.

No, he just tries way too hard to make people think he's the most levelheaded, non-biased UConn fan to ever walk the Earth.

Definitely some schtick in his delivery.

I know a lot of fans from the Big East really dislike him for his reaction to the fan-made Divine Providence documentary. Every time he says something about Big East basketball on twitter, there's usually someone saying "how do you look in orange?" in the replies.

I like Goodman personally

Living up to your name with that dog take lol

 

[RuffRuff]

I don't mind him either. There is a place for the grouchy type. Guy I really do love on F68 is TO. I appreciate former players and their view.

 

[Trudy Gay]

For comparison, the Sleepers guys get an F-. Lol

The one main guy is SO unlikable.

 

[auror]

Lol Zanetto calling out someone for a click bait headline is quite hypocritical.

Wildly, unbelievably so.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Zanetto is a true weirdo - I feel like he attaches his identity to Hurley. His pod headlines always sound like an ad for Crazy Eddie. The man worships Hurley, in a very weird way. I used to plug in once in awhile, now I just avoid. How Danny Hurley is building a Dynasty!!! How Danny Hurley is the best coach in the sport!!!

This is so schmucky.

Are we in the Big 12 yet? I was told that was imminent.

Zannetto's recent pod title is classic Zannetto:

Why Doubting Dan Hurley is a Recipe for Disaster

I mean, you can't make this stuff up. This is like every one, it's impossible to take seriously. I don't know if he just gets it all on ChatGPT or what.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

I like Goodman personally

Goodman basically threatened a lawsuit on a college student for making a documentary

I support Mark Z. He's a huge UConn fan. He devotes a lot of time to UConn basketball. He's had a hard time with people trashing him, plus the end of the gig at Locked On, but he's still out there doing Big East Energy.

It's not easy to get on the air everyday and leave yourself open to this kind of criticism.

Now Jeff Goodman on the other hand...

Goodman deserves all the hate he gets, and even he himself would agree with that.

 

[caw]

Goodman has been much better since joining field of 68. He was insufferable maybe 5-10 years ago.

Dauster is fine. He has some insightful takes and some takes I don't agree with but at least understand the logic behind.

Zannetto is an embarrassment. Talk about a waste of time. Avoid at all costs.

He needs to do away with empty corny content like this and find ways to bring smart guests on. Less is more too.

He's such a big UConn fan that he does podcasts about every other team in the conference. Sometimes when it's not easy to do every day it's because there's nothing to say and you're not good at saying it.

I responded to his Dauster tweet and he dm'd me to plead his case. One of his direct quotes in response was "duck* the Boneyard forever". I had to laugh because we know he gets all his UConn content from Boneyard threads.

I've personally overloaded on Uconn content through the 3peat attempt. Where once I was clawing for it as we were rebuilding the brand to new heights, kind of over it and just want to see us play and win.

The stuff with Goodman asking Dan Hurley about his father beating him was weird and super cringey too. I didn't particularly like him before any of that, but that sealed it

I need to clean up a lot of dog mess on here 😀
