If you’re looking for polished takes, breaking news, and insiders pretending they know everything… yeah, this ain’t that. The Better Get Us Now Podcast is a UConn-centric, UConn-obsessed, proudly biased ride hosted by three absolute stooges who somehow found microphones. This show leans all the way into what being a fan actually is—loud, irrational, emotional, and occasionally (accidentally) insightful. Cheers.
