[BugsyCT]

This game is several years away but just got a whole lot more oomph if it still happens.

True, we did win 9 games last year.

If we’re going by the 4theCycle’s tweet about an American opponent, that leaves us with FAU again which is kinda lame but it is what it is

I’d honestly prefer a more unique opponent like Jacksonville State, they’re one of the better CUSA teams. Southern Miss I’d also be down for since they need a non-FCS home game.

Why not try to get someone like NDSU, Montana State or UND. UND could be interesting because then AD Dave can also schedule them for hockey. UND is considered one of the premier hockey schools outside of Hockey East.

I think only one FCS game can count toward bowl eligibility.

Zero recruiting benefit scheduling away games and near zero alumni and other UConn fans in the Dakotas, already playing one FCS, already flying long distance for Air Force and Wyoming away games, no reason UConn could not schedule a hockey home-and-away with UND, etc.

We better go at least 4-3 (based on so many unknown quantities next year), 5-2 would be great, 6-1 would be stellar, and 7-0 would be out of this world.

6-1 would be out of this world, IMO. Even 5-2.

FAU filled out their schedule with an FCS game. The rumor from a CT Insider article was that we’ll play FIU, but that isn’t confirmed. Think we were supposed to play them on the road in 2027, so makes sense if we just move it up a year as we already have a ton of road games scheduled for 27

 

[Scrutineer]

I'm really liking that 2027 schedule.

Almost the same schedule mighty ND plays in their ACC commitment............

And we are not playing at an FCS opponent unless it is Yale and that would only be a once in a lifetime deal for PR purposes. In fact the chances we’d even do that are less than 1%

USF playing scared by choosing Kent State over us.

UConn, Memphis, Tulane and USF, the only real candidates for P4 promotion, have to choose their cross engagement very carefully.

Would be nice if Uconn plays Yale in the bowl. Plenty of Uconn fans down here in southern Connecticut. Think about us for once. We buy season tickets too. While you are at it Mr. Benedict how about a baseball game in New Haven. Yale has a great baseball faculty.Also Modern Pizza is only a 5 minute drive from Yale Bowl.

There’s no reason for us to play at Yale. Besides, I don’t think Ivies really play FBS teams. I know we hosted Yale a couple years back, but that was a one off because it was our first year of independence, and we played 2 FCS schools that season

 

[AllHusky]

So of the 4 "candidates"(UConn, Memphis, Tulane and USF), who wants to face off and who will run away(assuming that is what USF did). Put another way, which of the 4 feels they have the inside track to the "Golden Ticket"?

I like trial by combat. Let's make a deal with Netflix and the B1G for a four team round-robin tournament. Winner gets into the B1G, second place gets a set of steak knives, third and fourth place have their programs dissolved.

Huskies sports fan in New Haven? Minimal chance UConn schedules an away football game with Yale nor any FCS opponent, but New Haven area residents had 2 games this weekend to cheer on the Huskies in the Elm City.

Winning #13 ranked UConn’s 2nd consecutive CT Ice championship, the Huskies thrashed host Yale 5-2
in Friday’s semifinal in world renowned Ingall’s Rink. Yesterday, UConn came from behind in the final to knock off #6 Qunnipiac 4-2 in The Whale.

AI gave me FIU. Let's see how accurate it is/was...

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

A home-and-home agreement with a future game at The Rent is a positive. Not exactly an away game in a likely UConn recruiting target area nor close to many players’ families, alumni nor other Huskies’ fans, and definitely not The Grove, but not quite as stark a destination as Starkville. /s

fbschedules.com sez their No. 12 will be an fcs team

 

[Windham4th]

So 8 home games... why would we do that especially since it won't count towards anything

No we play this new opponent on the road, we’ll have 7 home games

Indiana

Yes my response was to the 2nd FCS post above. I always forget to quote it in response

 

[Waquoit]

Think about us for once.

Oh, for cryin out loud. When Yale was good, they flat out refused to play in Storrs. Screw 'em.

 

[LBird33]

Who is it ?

 

[Hogoff]

I do, can find nothing about a 12th game on SC. Where is it?

It’s on the general discussions - football thread.

 

[Windham4th]

It's a weird thing to make "premium" unless we are getting ND or OSU.

Not something like FIU or Marshall.

 

[UConnDan97]

Why do I get the sense that BizLaw is gonna be the first guy to ever file a Freedom Of Information Act request to find out a football game location...
