[HooperScooper]

We already knew UConn was in this, correct? Field announced today but I remember reading this on here a while ago.

It was reported but not made official until today I believe. I’ve heard Charleston is a great city. Aside from the giant rats.

Awesome I love Charleston. Good friend lives in Johns island. I'll definitely head down for this. great gym

 

[WrenchFan69]

Have always heard good things about Charleston, hoping to get down for this.

 

[BFieldHusky]

So as of now our OOC next year is:

Charleston Classic (Xavier, Florida, Miami, Penn St., St. Joe's, Townson, Missouri State)
@Villanova

Look for a game against Providence next year (just haggling about where it will be located) and possibly another Big East opponent.

Cuse should really still find a way to fit us in, even with the ACC expanding to 20 games and the Big 10 challenge or whatever else they're doing. I dont see how that changes things drastically.

They're CT rats that got onto a ship heading for the Port of Charleston with several thousand jobs from CT, so I suspect they'll be hanging around greeting UConn fans and offering thanks for the move.

Charleston is a great city. Clean, vibrant, filled with great restaurants and interesting tourism sites, growing with new manufacturing plants for Boeing, Mercedes, Volvo and others as well as the port, the colleges, and the Medical University of South Carolina. It's a typical boomtown found around much of the country outside the Northeast and, while there are problems in South Carolina, growth and development is not one of them. If only it weren't so humid from June to September......................

I live about 100 miles farther down the coast, but if Boneyard members are interested, I can do some recon work and try to find a good bar for pre and post-game meetups. PM me if interested.

I was hoping for more of a signature early season tournament. Personally I can’t get into going to South Carolina. I’ll save my money and hope for Battle4Atlantis in 2020.

Baby steps!

 

[browndog319]

I’ve been dying to go to Charleston... I’ve heard it’s like Savannah on steroids and I loved Savannah.
Although you can walk around with open containers in Savannah...

Charleston is a GREAT town. Anyone who heads down will really enjoy.

I guess a lot of people are a little disappointed because it's not exactly a warm place to visit in late November. Fans are used to going to more exotic/warmer locales for these tournaments.

Sounds like a good opportunity for a golf trip to Charleston to me!

Kiawah Island is nearby I believe. Hosted the US Open a few years ago.

Since Boeheim's probably an avid reader of the Boneyard, he's so fed up with all the Olander 2, Boeheim 1 taunts that dropping UConn from the schedule is his only way to get even.

 

[AtlantaHusky]

@scote road trip time ?

Been wanting to go to Charleston for my Wedding Anniversary but always end up in Florida. This would be a great chance to check out the city and it is only around 4 hours from Atlanta.

I second the Kiawah comment. That's our family destination every summer (way too humid for golf). November, however, would be perfect...they've been renovating Cougar Point (Gary Player course) - so hopefully that'll be done. Then there is Turtle Point (Nicklaus), Osprey Point (Fazio) and the Top 5 public course, The Ocean Course (Dye). The Ocean Course is very expensive and requires caddies - but it's a must/a once in a lifetime course.

Someone let Coach Hurley know to watch out for this reporter at the airport.

He tried to interview Gregg Marshall and got shot down.. so that was his story. LOL

Thanks how far is Kiawah from Charleston?

If this does happen I will certainly offer up whatever golf trip I come up with to the BYers in case it works for some. There are a few I would say no to as I've already played with them LOL

In Marshall's defense, he may have thought the reporter was just some random dude. Mr. Eisberg probably should have disclosed who he was and what the questions were for.

It's off the coast of Charleston.

Kiawah is less than an hour from Charleston and Hilton Head (Harbour Town, Sea Pines, etc...) is 2 hours away. No shortage of great choices.
