No, that was a joke, but not really recognizable to younger FReepers who might not have ever seen or heard the old Amos & Andy radio and TV shows...
I joked that it was named after Algonquin J. Calhoun, esq., the lawyer on the show, and to object to the name would therefore be racist.
OH yeah, I got that. I just hoped you didn’t really think that :)
Jim Calhoun is a LEGEND throughout CT and they’ll put you in jail for speaking his name in vain.
The place is falling apart like Detroit but basketball is just fiiiiiine.
