Seems like there are usually more than that.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Yes. That’s 7 games. 18 AAC games. I think you’re looking at 5 more OOC games.

 

[JMick]

There are another five or so games to fill

 

[UofCT]

Do we not play Auburn?

 

[Mokum]

Why don't we play the likes of Quinnipiac, Fairfield etc. for cupcake games? At least you get their fans as well to come to the game. If attendence is an issue, this would make sense.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

We already played them home and away.

Neither of those schools is going to fill the building like New Hampshire did last time they came to town. To me, it makes all too much sense to continue this rivalry.

Must have blacked out the entire 2016-17 season.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

I'm guessing 5 more cupcakes. Hopefully not too much frosting though.

Hopefully a UVM/Yale/BU/BC/Quinnipiac/Harvard/UMass.

 

[outlaw]

Give me Rhody at Mohegan

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Give me Rhody at Mohegan

...and a winter vacation regional foe played in Bridgeport for the same set of reasons as @Mokum wrote.

If Florida State was a H/H rather than Neutral in Newark - I would be happy. But, maybe Hurley is using that for NJ recruiting exposure?
We need a Gampel OOC quality opponent. People have entertainment spending choices today - UConn needs to move to a formula that works rather than the cupcake parade.

 

[6xChamps]

I’m guessing we will add a true road game ooc

Be careful what you wish for.

A home and home against Rutgers would make sense for NJ recruiting exposure.

Blechhh. Seton Hall as currently constructed would actually be a decent matchup. I’d much prefer that.

 

[Robertelamin]

Yeah I can’t get behind a home & home with Rutgers.

 

[Yardigan]

Give me Rhody at Mohegan

Dan will NEVER do that.....

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Yeah I can’t get behind a home & home with Rutgers.

I mean it’s fun being the Super Bowl for a P5 team.

 

[Ozone21]

What’s the exact rule on How many games we can play at XL in order to get us to play NCAA games there this season? We have an 8 game slate at XL

Can’t play in a regional you host

Hey buddy @unhpuck you might have your sports confused here, just a heads up

 

[AZHuskiePop]

I think we did have close to a sellouts at the HCC for UNH in B.B. back in the late 80’s or early 90’s
I don’t remember being there but I saw that somewhere in UConn’s records . I thaught that was pretty amazing.
Of all things Hurley has to do ,bringing old fans back and creating new ones is high and on the agenda.
Is was the fan base that was a key ingredient to getting UConn to the top.

The consumer has changed in the last 20-30 years. There are more choices for the entertainment dollar and HD TV and no longer $10’s for good ticket.
