If we' go to the Pinstripe Bowl to play a Big10 team I'm not interested in Rutgers (barf). That's a no win situation. A Rutgers win drags us down and a UConn win would draw a "who cares Rutgers stinks" response. I would rather play any other average Big10 team.

I'd rather play Rutgers in a bowl game than some lesser known team. BC is not a great ACC team but I don't think that victory dragged us down. Beating a B1G team would be great.

If that happens, it will be fun to hear how Rutgers was our 1st win against a power conference team. And the first power team we beat twice. And the first power conference team we beat thrice. And the first power conference team we beat four times. And the first power conference team we beat five times....

They should include 2 more logos not eligible

From what I understand, Delaware and Missouri State are not eligible in their first year unless not enough teams qualify for bowl games. They were also not eligible for the FCS playoffs in 2024 due to it being their final year in FCS. I think it's a stupid rule

Blue Hens (5-4) play at Sam Houston (1-8)
Missouri State (6-3) hosts UTEP (2-7)

Liberty Bowl against Baylor Jan 2nd?? Sign me up.

The Bowl says it picks from BIG 12 and SEC--but if we were to slide in vs Baylor it would be a great trip, great game and a chance for BIG 12 folks to take stock of what UConn might look like playing in the conference. Given our growing notice by sports media (and who knows whether there would be possible interest by the ACC), if I'm Yormark and wanting UConn for BBall and Northeast exposure, but facing some meh responses from BIG 12 Presidents, I'm trying to lobby for a UConn vs BIG 12 Bowl game vs Baylor, Kansas, Cincy, etc.

They should move 2 logos not eligible to the eligible list? Seems a bit self-defeating to me.

To play in Jan would be an amazing gift! And with history against Baylor that will be brought up in the broadcast! The loudest place outside of Texas….

The game against Baylor at the Rent was awesome. Physically blasted them and Butler just about broke RGIII in half at the end of the game. At the end of the first half Deleston ran through a receiver trying to make a reception and ended the poor kids night. The Big12 refs did their very best to help Baylor, but there was simply nothing they could do. Great football game!

No. The graphic includes 134 FBS football teams. They should include all 136. The logos in bright color are the teams which are eligible.

The city? 200k and on northern part of DFW metro.
The bowl game? Bowl season fliller bowl. Payout is about $650k.

This is bowl scenario:

The B1G currently has ten eligible schools; Ohio St, Indiana, Oregon, USC, Michigan, Nebraska, Washington, Illinois, Iowa & Minnesota. They also have four schools who are already eliminated; UCLA, Wisconsin, Michigan St & Purdue. What we need are the correct results for the remaining four schools.

If Nebraska beats Penn St on Saturday(not an unlikely outcome), Penn St is eliminated. If Michigan beats Maryland on Saturday (a likely outcome), Maryland is eliminated. If Ohio St beats Rutgers Saturday (very likely) and Penn St beats Rutgers the following week (not unlikely), Rutgers is eliminated. This leaves Northwestern, who would need to lose both ermaining games, hosting Minnesota and at Illinois.

I personally believe that if everything falls into place (the above four schools all getting eliminated and both Indiana and Ohio St making the CFP) the Pinstripe Bowl will be available for us. That's what I'm hoping for.

Pinstripe is a long shot. I don’t think Big 10 gives up NYC exposure even if it is out of eligible teams. They will give up the Quick Lane bowl in Detroit first.

The upper tier bowl I think people are sleeping on is the Liberty Bowl. The whole damn playoff is gonna be SEC teams so they will likely be short. Big 12 opponent. Wouldn’t be bad.

In the end i think we end up in Gasparilla. Just hope it’s a p4 opponent

What's the difference between Gasparilla and Root Beer?
Expand ...
Root beer is a commonly produced carbonated soda beverage. Gasparilla is a pirate festival in Tampa FL named after Jose Gaspar, a famous pirate of the late 1700s.

Unless you mean Gassosa, which is an Italian lemon lime soda. Foxon Park, local to CT, produces root beer and gassosa.

I think you missed the joke.

Sarsaparilla.

I would love to see UConn play FSU or Clemson in a bowl. Those are the two schools who said UConn wasn’t worthy to be in a conference with them.

one of the most satisfying things about this season was Clemson-FSU, the meeting of titans bound for the Big Ten or SEC in 2031, was relegated to the ACC network. The “non-Nielsen rated” network as one scribe pointed out

Any scenario where Rutgers beats Penn State and its UConn/RU in the Pinstripe?
