Anyone getting concerned yet...

Hoping for home and home against Colorado

On Saturday my daughter asked me what is the P6 flag the UConn cheerleaders ran out on the field with. I said it was a delusional man's pipe dream. To anyone thinking the money in the AAC will keep these teams afloat to be another SEC in 50 years buy into that delusional flag. UConn had no choice but to leave, next year's schedule could be rough but don't be surprised at who comes to the Rent in the future. Chief has some of them right but is missing a bunch too. Should be fun and yes we need fans there who can stay a whole game!!

I don't understand why this bothers so many people, its just a marketing campaign, and a darn good one IMO.

Do you really think "United flies the friendly skies"?
Do you think you can "taste the rainbow" when you eat skittles?
Do you think "when you have said Budweiser you have said it all?"

And BTW most would agree the AAC is in fact the 6th best football conference.

I never said some games weren’t previously scheduled with these teams. Look for more games with the Cuse’s and BC’s etc. I think you are applying a lot of criteria to scheduling games that the guys who do it don’t thankfully apply. Ultimately, we will see who’s right - you or Chief.

That post is reflective of the people that want to see UConn fail. Ultimately these schools will or will not schedule UConn as a matter of convenience. Does a school like BC want to pay UConn for a game like Clemson? Probably not. Do they want to pay Lousiana Monroe for that game? Probably not. So is it easier for them to schedule the occasional home and home with UConn or Lousiana Monroe? One is a bus trip away that probably doesn't even require an extra hotel night stay.

Bama? That would be nice...

Aside from about 150 people on this message board, the average college football fan didn't know UConn was even in the AAC.

With SMU and Houston in the AAC, many people in Texas know UConn is in the AAC.

It obviously holds a fraction of the interest of the Big 12 and SEC, but it’s not nothing.

We were credible for a few years. Just when we were getting real respect, it all fell apart.

It was fleeting.

Because that is all that matters - you being right!

Well, they will be a football focused conference concentrated in the southeast so

So the AAC and SunBelt will be huge in 59 years?

Don't sleep on the Sunbelt...GA State beat Tenn and Coastal Carolina beat Kansas this year.

Expect the worst that way you will not be disappointed. The new home games are likely to be pure dreck. I understand the reasons for the conference shake-up but paying an extra 7 Mill to make the move next year burns this football fan to no end.

We should join the MAC.

The MAC won't take us unless we move all our sports there. They threw UMASS out for that reason. They refused to move all their other sports from the A10.

I think eventually that the schedule is going to be good. But it is clear they jumped at the big east without having ducks in a row with football. I don’t think the schedule will be attractive next year.

I would hope the aac teams,
Many of them, would still want to play the huskies.

Nice idea, but I think the animosity will linger about as long as it did after BS College left the old BE.

Just a hint. Lots of people have lost money betting against the Chief.
