Message: [QUOTE="Yawkey Way, post: 1988763, member: 4458"] We've suddenly become Rice.[/QUOTE] Not really. Uconn football on the whole is better than Rice, imo. However, Uconn is in no position to rag on Rice when we are talking scheduling here, as Rice had Baylor on their schedule last season, and the last football game Rice played was against Stanford this season. Uconn could have had BC play in Hartford next November, but would have received far less money . Plus, look on the bright side, in the unlikely event that Uconn becomes more competitive with BC next November, and should actually pull off the upset they could legitimately claim they " beat BC in their home state ". Given where Uconn is right now with finances, the notion that a few Uconn fans would scoff at this negotiated deal.. and opportunity, is rather perplexing. That said, the Uconn Admin is fully excited for this payday and opportunity to redeem last season's blowout, shutout too. Uconn football can not be expected to keep getting shot after shot to be competitive, then actually beat BC in football, and yet not deliver on that given opportunity. Most Uconn football fans are as excited about this BC game at Fenway Park as the Uconn Admin. is, and as they should be... I think they have it about right too. [/QUOTE]
