Just kidding of course..but I would love to play them sometime down the road.

That would be a blast!!

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

That would be a blast!!

It would be the Mora Huskies versus the Candle Huskies.

So, getting this straight...

1) It's not a government point
2) You have no way of knowing if a contract is signed (and I would guess it's not, else there is no reason to hold this back)

Either one of these 2 kills your argument. 1 is certain, the 2nd is likely.

Did someone swipe your login? This sounds like a hill to die on, which reminds everyone of 1 poster...

You’re reading my posts way too technically. I have no clue if it is technically a FOIA violation. But as someone who was around the General Assembly when the bill was passed, I have a problem when a governmental agency gives information to those who pay for it ahead of making it available to all.

That’s it. I’m not dying on this hill because the instant situation isn’t important enough. But do I think it’s right? No. If you do, that’s fine.

So no more lobbyists?

I don't believe Storrs Central is connected to the University anymore. It falls along the lines of "inside" info and it's very unofficial.

OK, I'm dim. Are we playing Jax St??

A lot of people know. But no one is allowed to say.

Things are stupid at the moment.

 

[freescooter]

I agree this has gotten crazy. I’m sure we are speaking/negotiating with somebody about a 12th game but that could well require us or them or both to make other adjustment, too. I think that is pretty typical.

I posted that I'd rather see them play Jax St than Southern Miss - no inside information - just as a topic for debate (pros and cons with either).

I really like that all our most challenging games are at home. Not writing off any of the road opponents of course, but it’s manageable and sets us up for success

Good find, on the update, and FWIW they were the 2nd leading team in the Sun Belt in Home Att (aprox. 28,000)

According to FBS Sched's they need a game and have a Sept 19th opening that match's up

The school clearly caved into @businesslawyer and his threats of litigation

 

[HuskyAlum012]

Glad the BY can finally sleep at night knowing the 12th game

 

[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

After implicitly hinting 2026’s likely 12th opponent last Tuesday, some interesting CT FOIA banter regarding the game and LAX parking, unrelated discussions regarding CUSA member Jacksonville State never in the running, etc, finally UConn’s SBC 9/19/26 home and 11/3/29 away opponent’s been directly confirmed by a State of Mississippi public records request. /s

Good to schedule the 9/19 date, thus enabling a 10/17 mid-season bye week. Should the schools match up in 2029, early November may be a tad bit less comfortable than mid-Sept in Hattiesburg.

Solid USM fan base, decent SBC attendance, 2 new head coaches in consecutive seasons, and Brett Favre’s not suiting up for the Golden Eagles.

Nice. Southern Miss is 2 hours and 7 minute drive from New Orleans.

Nice. Southern Miss is 2 hours and 7 minute drive from New Orleans.

If considering going to the USM game from the northeast, direct flights to New Orleans MSY make the most sense from LGA and EWR. Connecting to MSY or any other relatively proximate destination airports from BDL and BOS.

Flying from the northeast to alternative airports to get to Hattiesburg, Jackson JAN, Mobile MOB, Gulfport/Biloxi GPT, or the nearest tiny airport Hattiesburg/ Laurel PIP all require at least 1 connecting flight，e.g., via ATL, CLT.

True, but if you're spending time in New Orleans you won't be in any condition to drive.

 

[UCFBfan]

Ok I need to know….was this the team that all the insiders knew we were going to play?

 

[Palatine]

Southern Miss can be hot even in late September.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Seems like nothing ever comes to no good up on Choctaw ridge......

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Southern Miss can be hot even in late September.

In southern MS, oppressive heat and humidity stretches well in to September, or even October dependent on possible tropical storm influences. Sept 19, pretty much guaranteed to be clammy.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

True, but if you're spending time in New Orleans you won't be in any condition to drive.

Typically, most Southern Miss games kick off in late afternoon to evening. Whether that helps possible New Orleans visitors is subjective to interpretation, person, etc.

I have to say: I'm incredibly impressed at the amount of us that knew but kept the Storrs Central secret. I don't know whether we were right or wrong, but I feel like it was impressive nonetheless...

I was a little unnerved by BL’s threatened legal action…but I held tight… 😉
