New ep of the podcast has me ranting for 15 minutes about Iona's latest COVID shutdown. Seriously. Enjoy!

Loved the latest Podcast Guy. One comment though. If the word SUCK wasn’t in your vocabulary, it would have been a significantly shorter episode 🤣

Great rant Guy. Loved it! While I have consistently come down on the side that we should never had started the season (I agreed with Pitino. Start it in March), I really feel for the team and the coaches. I know it's tough. I concur that the science no longer supports the 10-14 day thing, but I'm guessing they are being extra cautious or maybe they don't want to spend on the extra testing. The biggest problem is that we knew all along that the second wave was coming and that the winter sports would be the hardest hit. And the worst is probably just starting (Although my state just saw the numbers trend in the good direction for the first time in a long time). Hopefully by March, as more people become inoculated, we will be able to start getting a little bit closer to normal. This does suck and I hate it also. Miss watching the Gaels. Particularly now when there is hardly anything else to do! On a related note, I just lost a friend to this crap. 54 years old and outside of a little extra weight, as far as I know, no underlying conditions. So this thing is real. Everybody stay safe. Go Gaels! Oh, and Guy, you're an idiot.

Guy, thanks. A question(s) for future guests, especially if they are Iona coaches:
Thanks to ESPN, we can watch just about every MAAC game. So, I'd be interested in hearing their take on the other MAAC tams and players. Which teams and players were you most impressed with and why? And if practice has started, has anyone stood out? And if not now, maybe the progress they've made since October/November? JAS.

Listened to your rant episode last evening. It sucks! It sucks! It sucks!
Your take is right on!

Guy: I saw your twitter post below regarding the wisdom of starting your Podcast in the middle of a pandemic. Listen to Coach P. Look for the silver lining. I listen!! Hmm, to most of your podcasts, and I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you dedicate to keeping us connected during this pandemic. And, I think you are doing a hell of a job. Keep the faith!

Guy, We appreciate your frustrations on introducing the Podcast for the 2020/21 season and the impact of Covid on our schedules. However, your Podcasts have been extremely welcome and help keep our interest in Gael hoops alive. Putting the interruptions on schedule aside, at least your efforts have provided us with program entertainment. I think I’m speaking for just about everyone. Keep up the good work. Remember, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going”

Thanks for keeping the podcasts coming, Guy. Hopefully, we will have a string of Iona games (and wins) for you to cover soon!
Go Gaels!!!

Honestly, for pure entertainment value, that was the best one yet. "More of a ripple than a tide"! Keep 'em coming!

In what has become a very frustrating season so far, the Podcasts are the most positive element of Gael basketball. Better days are ahead I’m sure...
