Such an angel! But those eyes look a bit devilish. (video below)

How cool it is that those words from 2004 still ring true 17 years later.

Back then, we had won "only" 4 NCAA titles, and Geno was a couple of years away from the Hall of Fame. Plus, he was lighter and had darker hair.

I was a bit surprised to see the same mannerisms, expressions, and words that he uses now. The pressure is the same however. They had a disappointing year last year. Only got to the final 4 - lost 2 games. Had a horrible year the year before because they lost 4 games (including 1 in the final 4). 60 minutes was right - he had created a monster - one we as fans love dearly.

Thanks for posting that, I had it on a DVR that crapped out on me so it was lost forever, at least I thought so. At that time it was a huge deal to be on 60 minutes, and none other than D was there to tell all about our fearless leader. Again Beer, thanks for posting that. Go Huskies!!
