AD Benedict Holds Out Hope That USF-UConn Football Game Can Be Rescheduled (Jacobs)

[Exit 4]

I think where this is headed is an agreement to play make up AAC games on thanksgiving morning at a neutral field centrally located in a highly condensed format; 11 on 11, 1 qtr, no clock stoppages, coin flip for tie breakers after a 3 min overtime. Rosters limited to 30 kids for cost control. Both the USF/UConn and Memphis/UCF games will get done, played simultaneously. Basically it will look like your typical saturday morning campus flag football. Teams would charter in that morning, play kick off at 9am and would be expected to be in the air headed home by 1100am.

Any UCONN fan who would rather watch the NFL on television vs go to the Rent to watch a conference game is not a real UCONN fan, sorry.

DVR the darn NFL game, it's only NFL week 3 for godsakes, playoff seeding will not be determined on 9/24. I cannot imagine that anyone who normally goes to games at the Rent would be that freaking lame.

Here's what AD Dave will do to any said fan considering such a thing:

I agree but we do know it will have an impact .

Not haters, but Husky lovers, so to speak.

Why would Friday be out? Field rehab issues?

Those pansies require a perfectly manicured pitch to flop on.

There's an unwritten rule that the NFL and CFB generally do not overlap their game dates on the weekends. That's why there are no Sat. NFL games until the CFB regular season is officially over. Since CFB is a de facto minor league for the NFL, this rule will likely be observed.

I doubt this "rule" is in effect for the rare make-up game.

Yeah, theres no hard rule like that; UGA played South Carolina on a Sunday last year due to a hurricane
