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

Dave really knows how to use social media. If he pulls this off, he should get lots of credit. He also uses social media to make a case. More on that some other time.

The reason USF pushes for this game is the case that a team from the East Division will go to the AAC Championship game ahead of them even if they have a the same number of losses. Just as an example...

Cincinnati 7-1
USF 6-1

USF is out.
Expand ...

If USF was pushing rather than being pulled into this make-up game - we wouldn't be waiting Wednesday afternoon for the official word.

In social media perception is reality - Mickey Mouse Conference OR Not
 
So one of the plans I see being floated involves moving two games to days I have previous commitments. I'm gonna have to call up Dave and say to push for the forfeit.
 
One of the first bits of info coming out after the cancel announcement was the conference having insurance to cover losses.

Makes you wonder if the insurance company has a series of requirements to be met prior to paying out to the conference or teams. And maybe, just maybe, the insurer is offering suggestions of how the conference may want to juggle the schedule or void the payout.

That has nothing to do with what I said. No one on social media made a big deal over the game being canceled. They took it as another cancellation in a flurry of schedule changes caused by the storm. Nothing more.

If you can find 3 twitter users with 2,000+ followers that gave Aresco or the conference a "beating" over canceling our game, I'll admit you're right.

This would surely be a simple task if Aresco was truly taking the beating on social media that you're suggesting.
 
USF would absolutely be itching to play a 12th game if they were undefeated at the end of November but on the outside looking in on a NY6 bowl. It would also not shock me at all if the committee tries to find a way to nullify the required NY6 inclusion if the team did not play a full schedule. I don't know how that would work, but it would not surprise me. Not to mention the previously discussed conference tiebreaker issue.

It would surprise me, because that's insane.
 
USF isn't going undefeated whether they play 11, 12 or 10 games. They will cough up a hairball along the way

Heard that folks who work voluntary concessions were contacted to get ready for wknd of 9/23 as we will be playing Memphis.

Is this the scenario?
Oct 6 usf has a bye
9/23uconn has bye.
9/23 memphis has bye
---------------------
9/23 uconn/memphis
10/6 , 7 uconn USF

I could see USF losing at home to Ill this weekend.

I would never bet against my team but, if I did, I would be tempted to take Ill and the 17.5 points Vegas is currently giving.

Good luck in your game.

Either...
A) Concession Volunteers are being asked to work the MLS game that day or
B) MLS has been contacted to move that game as well.
 
So will UConn re-issue tickets or will the USF ticket be valid for the Memphis game and Memphis game ticket good for USF?

Taking priority over the MLS game is a Power conference move, fingers crossed.

It was actially 9/24 Sunday these folks were told. Soccer Sat, FB Sunday?

Play the soccer game at 11:00am, Football game at 7. My guess is the soccer team wants some coin to make the move.


Amazing job by AD Dave, even if it doesn't happen he gave it everything he has and did right by his team and fans.

LOL. The soccer team's owners have billions. They don't want coin, the game isn't moving.
What's funny is the wankers whining about playing the game on Sunday. Are you Husky fans or not?

That makes it even worse. Billionaires aye, Let's go French Revolution on them.

BTW I wouldn't mind a Sunday game. The NFL blows.

An away game maybe. At home you should be OK but the points look really good.

Well, I just hope our OC wasn't lying when he said there was a lot more to our offense than we have seen in our first two games.

IMO, it has been offensive.
 
The longer this drags out the more I get the feeling a couple of Dodos are pulling our chain. AD Dave is paddling his hardest but we need all oars in the water Aresco! Row the dang boat!!!
