Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3285703, member: 250"] So Geno Italian name Veteran at the UPS store in Belgrade MT - I was in there yesterday ... and I start to ask hima question by saying Geno and he throws his hands up in the air (we'd been talking just shared memory stuff)...and hethrows his hands up in the air and says: Auriemma. I peer at his chest. Your name is Auriemma. No, but I'm Italian to and love the guy. Mind you I had not said a word about the Huskies. He backs up and does Phee's fade away jumper!! This guy is like 67, about Geno's age, but XMilitary and hard as nails. He: "In Geno we trust." Me. "Geno is the Basketball God." " He.: He is God!" Then he is talking really fast about f0llowing them forever and they play his ball and it is just the best ball there is." Me: "Amen brother to that" And he keeps going... turns out he was a Good Morning Vietnam type Radio jockey for the US and worked a lot of different bases all over the world. He's still calling local hockey games in the semipro league I think. What a rich deep baritone. And I asked him if it was Just in the Vietnam "Conflict" "War' [B][[/B] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Potato tomato, don't let politics ruin thisthread folks.[/COLOR][B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]] [/COLOR][/B] He said ""Hell No. You worked it hard for our people in uniform." What a wonderful guy. And it does give credence to the Huskies have fans everywhere. I'll talk with him about some of his favorite players next time I'm in and report back if he's good with it.
