Well the opponents are all known it’s just a matter of the dates.

As for presents from Santa Aresco I’ll take a one way ticket out of this conference.

 

[weyuo]

You know as well as everyone else that out of this conference doesn't come til UConn turns into the next Houston or UCF or TCU or Boise St. And even then somebody has to be invited with them so get used to that big A on the front of the uniforms. It's not going away anytime soon. If you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with.

Not UConn but:

Starting the season 0-2 should help us get about 9,000 people in the building for URI.

This opener will be the ultimate test of the "opening weekend" question.

I don't think they have the huevos to do this on Thursday night, but we will see...

Who is the “they” you’re referring to?

 

[pepband99]

Who is the “they” you’re referring to?

...pretty much everyone.

1) AAC - nothing screams "Power 6" like the "defending national champs" opening on a Thursday night in front of a "not sold out" crowd
2) UConn - Could we possibly fight off a better TV spot for a better fan spot? My gut tells me that this gets pushed by TV for Friday, which would be an absolute fan nightmare.

They’ll play the game whenever ESPN wants to air it.

Probably. Which is the scary part. Friday is probably the most open TV-wise, but the worst for fans.

We'll know soon enough.

 

[pepband99]

Thursday night it is.

Home schedule:

UCF
URI
Cincy
UMass
SMU
Temple

Ouch.

 

[pepband99]

1) No weeknight games except the opener.
2) Month-long gap between home games
3) Temple in the late game sucks - we get the only other "cold weather" school late?
4) only 1 bye

Did i miss anything?

 

[ktuck911]

Current glass half full mindset sees 6-6 potentially, but currently we probably max out at 5 Ws... Hope they prove me wrong and get at least 7 wins.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Thursday night it is.

All the rest on Saturdays.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

I’m sure it’s not entirely accurate but why does it feel like we never have a flipping home game in the best weather month of the season?

That’s not the glass half full mindset.

I agree with this. We never have a nice early-mid October home game it seems. Our balls are either being sweated off in September or frozen off in late October/November.

Anthony: Front Loaded: UConn Football Opens 2018 Season With Central Florida, Boise State

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Anything better than 1-6 going into UMass would be surprising.

Pitching tickets for a 1 win UConn team heading into the final 3 home games against UMass, SMU and Temple. Ouch.

 

[CTGoonie]

Not sure why people are complaining about the weather. Last year had best-case scenario weather for pretty much every home game. I assume the Umass game is at the Rent. When does it go to Gillette?
