I'll be there and I'm not going to obsess over who isn't.

There it is!!!!

I believe we signed a 10-year deal with Buffalo under Hathatway. At the time it was billed as a good way to line up an 8th "conference game" And I htink there was hope that they would grwo as a program, not to Big East levels, but at least to high MAC. We also did a long term deal, maybe 6 or 7 games, with Temple. I was particularly fosted that they were both Home and home deals. I didn't get either of those deals. I'm with you, alternate Buffalo/UMass/Army maybe going forward. Gives us a regional opponent. But please not all 3 in the same season. Playing Buffalo and Temple was awful. Hard games to get up for for both the fans and the team. I think the Buffalo deal ends next year with us going to UB.

Gosh this was so not what the original vision of the upgrade (to D1) was. It was all about UConn v Boston College, UConn v Syracuse, UConn v Miami, UConn v Virginia Tech, and on and on. Temple (thought the Big East let go of them for a reason)? Buffalo? UMass (thought we left them back in the CAA)? All three on the schedule in the same year? Wow, don't think that was the vision that Lew Perkins and others had.
 
Sounds like plenty of MAC teams will be available for the underachievers to yearn for...
