WFAN coverage?

Dan Patrick on Peacock

I like DP and the Danettes. He is a big UConn fan and n4nuthin, may have the best house in all Milford.

Plus, this proves he has an audience of at least 2 on Peacock. Quitting his NFL gig surprised me, Clearly has bank.

I believe Russo’s kid is a part of the UConn basketball program in some manner.

Correct. Tim Russo is a grad student manager and has been for about 18 months. I believe he played college basketball at D2 Univ of Tampa.
 
Have listened to the FAN for years. Don't hear any UCONN any more. Maybe with this team the old MOJO will come back.
Enjoy the ESPN with Dibble in the afternoons. Great show as moderators are are current with UConn.

Russo's kid Timmy was a student manager at Tampa. He never played college ball. Dad sure hooked him up at the right time with UConn.

I’m a wfan daily listener. Best they can do at this point is a jerry Rico upcoming game or score update after that this team does not exist on the station. Hope this changes. I called in to the sports pope a year prior to final 4 run with price team. He hung up on me and said UConn fans are unrealistic. I was a year off put saw the potential. At least he took a UConn call. Don’t think that would happen as of now.

When I listen they rarely if ever talk college sports. If you listen to Carton & Roberts they rarely talk sports. I turn to Dibble on ESPN radio. He talks Uconn and national sports.

Prior to 3/29/99, Fatcesa had utter disregard for the program. On 3/30/99, he got out the kneepads for Jimmy C, as he should have. Listen to the interview sometime if you can find it on the interweb. Fatso is still a two-faced loser, and Froot Loops isn't much better, despite being a Connecticut resident. Good thing Orlovsky keeps Greenberg in line...

This probably belong in the "Ridiculously Addictive YouTube clips" thread, but I'll post it here, its FANtastic

Wow, talk about comedy gold. The first couple of minutes made me feel like I'd stepped into a time machine. Fantastic impression of Francesa, and that guy must have worked on it a TON because he nails oodles of Francesa's speech idiosyncrasies I'd forgotten about, not to mention the misguided know-it-all-ism he often defaulted to (not to mention the name-dropping). Even the callers and caller dynamics are spot-on. It's funny how much we all used to listen to Mike and the Mad Dog, and the love-hate relationship so many folks had with them. (And now I'm flashing back to early Boneyard message board barb-slinging with UMass fans, back when they had a leg to stand on because of Camby and we were still stuck on the Elite Eight.)
 
Now that podcasts are so prevalent I don't listen to the FAN anymore. Why bother when I can listen to something that's timely (usually recorded within 24 hours of me downloading and listening), catered exactly to what I want to listen to (I can download a UConn podcast that talks only about them in detail compared to hoping there's some talk on the radio) and in a setting where I can skip ads, all for free?
 
Yeah I just don't think there is the base in NYC metro to have huge segments on college basketball or UConn. St John's barely gets talked about. I know we want them but the majority of wfan is spending 23 hours contemplating where Aaron judge is going or about how the Knicks/nets suck or what Yankees/Mets are doing in off-season and giants/jets talk. There's just very minimal college bball talk other than score updates. I do remember Tobias Harris calling into Francesca's show once. Francesca did talk college bball a little but don't think anyone on air now would be knowledgeable or care about CBB.

A lot of our fanbase watches way more CBB than any of those guys. Best bet is like others said about podcasts like Rob's or the not a dime back stuff. Plenty of CBB content there.

They don’t really talk CBB, unless it’s Rutgers or St Johns.

Francessa had a professional relationship with Calhoun….so JC got a good amount of airtime when he had a great team.

Unless it’s March, you’re not going to hear much at all from them on CBB in general.

I came in here just to ask about the Dibble show. Do they talk much UConn?
