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

Never knew he was on 60 Minutes! His comments and how he coached reminded me about a better 'time'................... "When The World Made Sense"! Thanks for sharing SVC

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!!
