I read the topic and feared the annual rumors of Buzz leaving were starting already.  I doubt he'd be seriously considered by the Vatican, but ESPN has reported stranger rumors.

Lol.  Or is it the Vatican City Cardinals that want to join the C7?

It sounds like Rome actually does homework and remembers previous conversations with Buzz.    Buzz nailed this interview, too.    Loved the bit about Louis Orr not knowing who Rome was and being more worried about beating Rutgers.    

[Stronghold]

Interesting that we are atleast .500 or better against every team in the BEast since Buzz has been here except Louisville.  I knew we haven't done well against them, but I didn't realize we did so well against EVERY other team.

Great interview...Buzz is the man!

Anyone have a transcript so I don't have to listen to the Jim Rome part?

I used to find the Jim Rome show entertaining, now it just annoys the hell out of me.

The guy is a very good and respectful interviewer though, maybe we can get some Karma.

I played golf with Jim Everett in Hawaii about 10 years ago....I suspect Jim might disagree with your description of a respectful interviewer.

Rome still gets crap for that, but he was young and trying to make a name for himself. I think Rome actually learned something from that strange episode. Maybe he is better for it.

I find his interviews entertaining. He relaxes the guest and gets some good insight out of them.

You don't have to be a Cardinal to be named Pope - or even a priest or a catholic for that matter. Buzz vs Benedict? Not even close IMHO.

Not exactly a high bar to jump over...

If Buzz leaves MU to become the Pope, it's clearly Larry Williams fault.

I hope LW and Fr. Pilarz don't mess this up!

Yeah, I couldn't stand him out in LA when he first started his radio show. But he has gotten much better over the years.

That would be awesome. Rumor has it that the Vatican City Cardinals will lure either Pitino or Calipari to be their coach by offering the one thing each of them needs more than $$$.................. indulgences.

Couldn't let keefe outdo you on the name-dropping braggadocio, could you?

[Lennys Tap]

Sadly, true.

[Nukem2]

Does Rome still have a radio show...?  That was painful to listen to................

[MU82]

Anyone have a transcript so I don't have to listen to the Jim Rome part?

This.

Rome's voice makes my ears bleed.

Nice!

Lots of Rome hate....

I'm going to throw myself to the sharks, but i love rome

I always listen to his great triple U's on McDonalds, 911 calls, Bank Tellers, Karaoke guy, Gym guy, corvette guy,  man is that s*** funny!

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

I love Rome... but he's an acquired taste... and he openly admits it on his show.

You have to listen on and off for a couple of weeks for it to finally "click". His entire show is satire and schtick. It's tough to follow unless you've listened a lot.

You have to know some of the characters and bits, and then it becomes more clear and entertaining.

Actually you DO have to be a male Catholic in good standing. You're right about the cardinal priest thing though.

And I love Rome's show.

I don't hate Rome, but I also don't think I get any entertainment or value out of listening to him, so I almost never do.
