WCSUPodcasts

Bart Busterna sat down with this year's Leadership Council as they reported to camp to get a feel for the team. Despite many of them being from Long Island (we won't hold it against them) they all came ready to go and get us all fired up for this year's hunt for a ring.

Following his retirement after 40 years as Athletic Trainer for WestConn, Mark Allen joins Bart and Coach Loth on the pod to discuss the history of athletics here at the university and talk about what he's planning on doing now. We also surprised Mark with a couple of special guests, Frank Leonard and Ed Farrington.

Coach Loth and Bart are joined this week by former WestConn coach Chris Rippon (84-90) who went on to coach at some of the premier college football programs in the country as well as starting his own company Coach Rip Consulting. chrisrippon.com

This week is a first for the WFP. A current Wolves player, Matt Forti #40, joins Bart and Coach Loth to talk about how he got to WestConn, what his experience has been like, and his plans for the future. We also continue a trend with hearing about a player's Mom who wasn't always thrilled with the decision to play football but supported him anyway. Thank you to football Moms everywhere.

Joining Coach Loth and Bart this week is special guest former WCSU coach (92, 94-95) and current Offensive Coordinator / Quarterbacks coach at the University of Minnesota, Kirk Ciarrocca. Kirk has some great stories of his time here at WestConn and all over the football world.

This week Coach Loth and Bart are joined by none other than WestConn Hall of Famer Glen "The Sticker" Worthy (84-87). Glen has some great stories about his time here at WestConn as well as an update on the terrific work he's doing for the children of CT.

Bart also has a few suggestions for our new sponsor, Vision Designs, on a few signs we might be able to put up at The WAC.

This week's special guest is former WestConn linebacker #1 Tom DelVecchio (1992-1995). Tom talks to Bart and Coach Loth about everything from his favorite games to poisoning attempts by rival schools to the proper way to prepare basil. Get into it.

Joining Coach Loth and Bart this week is very special guest John Cervino. John was WestConn's head football coach from 1992-1999 and was instrumental in turning the program around eventually going undefeated in his last season with the Colonials.

Coach Loth and Bart are joined by former WestConn QB Quinn Fleeting (2016-2017) who has the distinction of being our first transfer quarterback and has proven to be a big inspiration for one of our current QBs.

Congratulations and best wishes to all the graduates who left us this past weekend. Come back and cheer on your fellow Wolves this fall.

Coach Loth and Bart are joined this week by Frank Leonard. Frank was a coach here at WestConn from 82-84 and 87-90 and went to coach at and work for various teams all across the college and pro leagues landing finally at Penn State University where he is currently the Offensive/Defensive Analyst & Analytics Coordinator.
