I appreciate the fact you realize I am trying to be respectful in my posts, and realize UConn fans aren't going to agree or like me. To your Michigan comment you guys did a good job getting Michigan, but I believe Michigan wanted a decent opponent for its first game at the renovated Big House and you guys had leverage and Michigan by the barrel and got them to agree to a home/home. I believe the new Michigan AD has tried to have that game moved to Metlife, but you guys rightfully refused and Michigan won't pay the 2 million dollar buyout. Boise and BYU have been announced recently and both of these agreements are solid home and homes I commend your AD, but almost any BCS team could get agreements with these schools because they aren't in BCS conferences even though they are solid Western programs.You seem like a nice guy, and I don't think you set out to sound stupid, but that doesn't mean you didn't.
Michigan is the winningest program in the history of college football and they somehow fell for our "demand." So did Tennessee. So did Boise. BYU, too. (You may have heard of these programs.)
In the meantime, we're 6-3 lifetime against Syracuse, and that includes the stinkbomb we threw up this past fall at the Carrier Dome.
This isn't Syracuse bashing -- everything I have written is a fact.
I get that you're tickled to be headed to the ACC, but we still own you like a baby owns a diaper. I really don't see your point.
Tennessee is a very impressive addition as well, and shows that some teams will give you 1/1s, but it won't be till 2015-2016 that series is played. I am sure it wasn't easy to get more teams to play 1/1, but what is wrong with taking a 1 game series @Ohio State and having absolutely nothing to lose or @Penn State with nothing to lose as you would be underdogs.
You are 6-3 against Syracuse and I can't say anything to dispute the fact UConn has won a clear majority of the games against Syracuse, but as I stated during this time frame Syracuse went through the worst era in the history of the program. We have started to turn it around the these past 4 years and you won 3 of 4 against us, but I would say Syracuse is on upswing and I don't know UConn's future as I hope for your fans sake that P has a better offense without D. UConn has won 2 Big East titles since 2004 and Syracuse has won 2 Big East titles since 2004.
We are happy to be going to the ACC, and I won't say anything else. Syracuse had ZERO voting rights when the UConn-Louisville debating went on. The rumor from this board I have read is that Syracuse was anti-UConn I don't know if that is fact, but if UConn was the better choice than they would have been selected. Florida State used its political capital to get who they felt was a better football program. Again, disagree with my statements, rip the SU fanbase I can't tell you guys what to do, but I will post if I feel a fact is being wrongly and stated I did when I was reading that your fans felt your Football brand was superior to Syracuse's.
Thanks for being respectful in your post responding to me.
