Basically, the season is November and December. Then go to sleep until mid-February for the South Carolina game. Does that about sum it up?

DVR the SC game then you can hibernate for a good 2+ months thru Jan, Feb, and early March.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "go to sleep." If you mean that some fans might "go to sleep" because the games aren't as competitive, kinda sorta yeah. But the AAC schedule will still be critical in the sense that UConn will surely be taking the lessons learned in the difficult nonconference schedule and using the AAC games to improve on their quality of play and decision-making.

Let's face it: This is how it's been for UConn since joining the AAC. Even when USF represented a mild test, they were never at the level of UConn's toughest nonconference opponents.

It's also interesting that this imposes a reverse dynamic compared to what most top teams experience, where they'll have a handful (at most) of significant nonconference challenges followed by a relatively more challenging (Big 5) conference schedule. Many people assumed this reverse dynamic would be a handicap for UConn, but based on the complete postseason domination of the past three years, that assumption has hardly been borne out.
 
Since Lou doesn't get to play out west Head bang it looks like a visit to SMU and Tulsa in Mid January will now be put on my agenda. I might also try for the last regular season game of season at USF. Florida weather, in the winter agrees with me.
 
When do we start up with Stanford again? Next year?
