On Volnation someone said Geno insulted Holly Rowe at the half. What is that all about? Nonsense, right? I posted another thread on that, because I watched with the sound off and missed it. Here it is:

I am going on a little trip, to an ugly little place called VolNation. Where losing to a "decimated" Uconn team by 17 can only mean they are planning to eat their young pull scholarships and raise their pitchforks and torches to run Coach Kellie out of town. Hope you have had all your shots.... ...leave breadcrumbs so you can find your way back.

Geno did go off, but he's got a very, very short fuse right now, with his mom, his illness, all the injuries. He wasn't out of bounds by much, but maybe unwise. He just obviously couldn't control himself. No worries, coach. We've got your back.

On to Villanova. Bob Joyce just reminded me that last year UConn beat Tenn and then lost to Vill in the next game. Now I'm going to re-watch the first period and the 2nd half. Siegrist vs Aaliyah. 👏

It is nice that a stat like this doesn’t matter. In the pros you would definitely lose if there was that kind of bench disparity. We have a great five though.

Caroline still has ear plugs. Good news is that she was able to make the trip.

He's probably golfing buddies with Charlie Baker. Maybe Geno'll just give him a mulligan.

They turn truly ugly down there. One of their fans actually said "I hope Geno dies comfortably in his sleep". Whoever said southerners were genteel were full of sheet.

The BE commish isn't going to get involved with refs hired by an SEC team. Geno made his point. The refs changed the way they were calling the game for the benefit of Tenn. Then they made a few bad calls against Tenn later in the game to "even things out". This isn't the first "big game"* taken over by refs. Dee what's-her-name used to do it all the time. * big game as far as the media attention given it.

I rarely if ever blame refs, having been a failed one myself. But these folks were astonishingly bad. Some of the worst calls I've ever seen.

But these folks were astonishingly bad. Some of the worst calls I've ever seen. On the radio, Joyce said the charge/block calls were bad for both teams. Joyce is usually pretty fair about refs. Those bad calls started with a couple against UConn in the 2nd period and continued against both teams and it seemed to me that the refs were trying to balance the bad calls the rest of the game.

Next game will be tough for you Justine. UConn vs Villanova! I have third row center on benches side. Well clearly I will be rooting for a Uconn win but you’re right I do respect the nova program and have been high on them this year. I will cheer for Bella, to to warn all Uconn fans in attendance lol

He just obviously couldn't control himself. No worries, coach. We've got your back. I watched him and got a little sick. What he was talking about has been going on down there forever. "We'll teach them Yankees." It is a disgrace. I'd just as soon go back to the days of not playing them.

I guess I hope for that blessing, too. For Geno, for me, and for those I care about.... However, I suspect the poster and I might differ substantially on when the fateful night should arrive. LOL.

They turn truly ugly down there. One of their fans actually said "I hope Geno dies comfortably in his sleep". Whoever said southerners were genteel were full of sheet. Oh, this is a topic I could opine about for a long, long, time.. but, I won't. I was born in CT, raised my children there, etc. But, I grew up in KY, and lived, post-college in VA (not even deep south states). Wayy back in the day of the ESPN board, I first pointed this phenomena out: there was a female poster who postured as a stereotypical southern lady -maybe a Duke fan, maybe Vol, can't remember, it's been over 25 years I think - and she was the meanest, snidest, most vicious piece of work you can imagine. But, if you called her on it, at all - you were a crude brute. Had a similar contretemps on TOB years ago, with some Floridian - and I remember pointing out southerners' hypocrisy on such things. Specifically, I wrote something like "the same guy in the front pew on Sunday morning was slapping a stripper's ass on Saturday night". The Floridian got a serious case of the offended vapors. Icebear (IIRC) chimed in to post that his wife once did outreach work at a local hospital in the south, and she had almost literally dealt with this more than once - she'd spoken with men getting patched up after bar fights and drunken misadventures who were all concerned that they were gonna be late for church. I'm Yankee/Irish Catholic. If I'm pissed, you know it and I won't hide it. I'll look you in the eye when I go for your gut. Southerners, man, they'll smile at you, and when you turn your back, they shove the knife in - and, they won't have the common courtesy to spit on it first.
