BYU on the slate

[Dann]

I would rather have 15 trolls posting here on a daily basis then read your crap anymore. As I write this I just remembered we can ignore people.

We finally get a little bit of positive news with BYU and you p.iss all over it.

Rant away. I won't see it any way.

since it wont be u some 1 else here can tell me what i said thats so wrong? i'll wait.

You're going off the deep end for scheduling a legit home game on opening night of college football that will no doubt be the marquee game of the night on national television. It's the students fault if they aren't at the game. However the first game of the year is always the best attended by students year in and year out. Having a marquee game for season ticket holders that may consider traveling if the game is against UMass or Fordham will think twice for this game. Your analysis in this instance is just plain wrong.

wrong. ole miss plays bosie state. this is the typical uconn fan response with blue glasses. u have no clue what else is going on in college football. u just asume thru blue galsses that w/e warde and susan do is the best thing ever. so please, redo your argument now that u know your wrong the 1st time.

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Think positive, you could take Friday off and make it a great long weekend which is kicked off by a tailgate! Sounds like you're already ahead of the game there... Plus, I'll take a night game in August any day of the week even if it means a Thursday night. The games in the sun are just brutal that time of year, especially if you seat on the sunny side of the stadium.

Yeah, that's why college football
never caught on in the south.

What?

Sarcasm about remark about hot August afternoon games. A way of life down south and they seemed to have picked up the game rather well.

 

[CTMike]

We aren't perfect. I'm psyched for this game regardless.

 

[uconnflyer88]

So which one of the guys who dogged Warde for months and months about not doing anything about 2014 is going to write him the apology letter?

Another case of foot in mouth for a lot of you guys on the board......another example of let the people who actually know what they're doing, do their duckING JOB!!!!!

You are bi-polar... Go find your tread from earlier today when you said you couldn't rip WM for this get - then Rum Runner makes the claim that BYU is easy to schedule and then jump on his bandwagon....

byu is a good schooa nd brand. i am noit ripping warde. i'm ripping all of u who think way to highly of this. its not the #1 game so why is it on a thursday night? the return trip is bs becuase oits during the meat of a conf schedule. that means we will take 2 bye weeks early in the year and play like 8 straight to finish the year. it also means 1 of those bye weeks comes during a good or atleast better weather weekend where we could have better tailgating and amounts of fans. all of this type of stuff goes over ppls heads becuase they dont get it. it goes over wardes head becuase he doesn't get it. then the 2 of u together dont get it and as result u like each other and think a like. congrats.

 

[Rumrunner]

Don't make this out to be something it isn't. Call a spade a spade. Look at the difficulty that BYU has had in scheduling late season ganes. Heck, that excuse was thrown into some posters' face when they suggested uconn go indy in football. "You can't get teams to play in the late fall." Also, to use the SEC as an example in playing late season ooc games? huh? they play patsies AT home, other than the big rivalry games.

Look at byu's home slate in mid october for the next 5 years. UConn is joined by whom exactly? To suggest manuel pulled off a coup by agreeing to travel to Provo in the last week of october?

So which one of the guys who dogged Warde for months and months about not doing anything about 2014 is going to write him the apology letter?

A Thursday night game to open the CFB season against a "good school and brand"? I'll take it... Let's see, this year's game is USCe versus UNC.

Maybe our bye week in 2015 is the week after the BYU road game?

But pee away on the program and the uneducated people like me who post here. That works.

the bye week will be early now becuase we put a ooc game late in the season instead of a conf game. the slots get schuffled. my point is now all other conf teams will have a bye at somem point in there and we will play 6-8 games straight w/e the # will be and earlier in the year we will have 2 quick byes around our ooc schedule which will basically be wasting good weather weekends and a fcs type team weekend as a bye(somewhat...).

You know when the bye week is in 20115..? Is there some scheduling rule that I am unaware of?? My point is your guess is as good as mine.

 

[UConnDan97]

This is a very good game to schedule. Period.

Everyone needs to take a freakin' chill pill. I'm really starting to get irritated by the neverending belly moaning on this board. Even people that I thought were positive will find the absolute craziest things to be negative about. This is why we can't have nice things!!! It's a very good home-and-home series to have. Kudos to Warde for signing it up. Let's try to get a couple more just like it, insure that we get our butts on tv as much as possible in front of as many eyeballs as possible, and let's continue to make a name for ourselves...

[coachcap]

Thanks to Warde for scheduling this event-game. My reasons for liking this game in 2014:
1. Opening the season against a National Brand, thus, giving high visibility to the UConn program.
2. Insuring a sellout in season opener. Tickets for this game will be at a premium. There is a high L.D.S. population in state. BYU represents to them what the Domers traditionally represent to the Irish Catholic population on most of the Eastern Seaboard-it's THEIR team.
3. This game, in all likelihood, will be broadcast nationally. Whichever network broadcasts it will hype it. Thursday night to open the season, attractive matchup, BYU coming East to play in front of Brigham Young's descendents (remember that Steve Young's hometown is Greenwich).
There are many other reasons to list, but I'm strapped for time. Got to get ready for work.

Thanks Warde.

wrong. ole miss plays bosie state. this is the typical uconn fan response with blue glasses. u have no clue what else is going on in college football. u just asume thru blue galsses that w/e warde and susan do is the best thing ever. so please, redo your argument now that u know your wrong the 1st time.

Maybe you are right. But as I understand you didn't even go to UCONN so it is hard for me to understand how you possibly care so much. And maybe that's why you aren't on the same page as many of us. You look at this solely as a sports enterprise like the Yankees. For most of us it is a lot more than that. Which is why college sports are different than pro sports.

Why don't you just like Alabama. Then you have nothing to complain about.

Wrong again. Espn has 2 games on opening night on a yearly basis. The Boise State game won't kick off until after 10. UConn will kick at 7/730 on ESPN so maybe do some additional research next time.

If we play the shuffling game Dan, that means one ooc game moves later, it doesn't necessarily mean that the bye week has to take its place in the front of the schedule, how about flipping it with a conference game? Oh god the horror! A conference game starting before we finish our ooc slate! Never! We could still have one bye week before and one after if it works out that way, you're reaching here. And stop with the I'm so smart routine, you should stick with the recruiting news you just come off as a in most other topics. You might want to look at a calender to learn how many weeks there are between the end of October and the the end of the season and how many from the start of the season till the end of october, last I checked we still only play 12 games, there is still room for two bye weeks.

 

[Dooley]

I'm just excited about the series against a good opponent. I don't care about how easy it was to schedule or the politics involved. After a year of sandwiches from CR, GDL, and APR bans, I'm going to enjoy a slice of good news, no matter how easy it was served, whenever it comes. If BYU is so easy to schedule, how come we haven't scheduled them before? Our OOC schedules have been pretty weak for the past few seasons.

Also, reading between the lines, BYU very publicly turned down the Big East (pre latest waves of CR) membership. Alot was made that they found no value in the schools in the Big East. We can now scratch UConn off the list that BYU looks down upon, based on their AD's comments about UConn giving their program East Coast exposure. If BYU finds value in UConn, then others do too. Again, I'll take the positive news, no matter how small or perceived (by me) it is.

This might be the stupidest comment made on this board to date. Because HFD did not attend UConn that makes his ability to care less than alumni? You are beyond dumb if that is what you feel. My father, a season ticket holder for over 20 years didn't go to UConn. Does that make him less devoted than yourself?

If you haven't noticed college athletics is pretty much solely a sports enterprise. Years of historic rivalries have been destroyed for the all mighty dollar. If you want to sing the praises of a new facility on campus I am sure there is a board for you to do that.

I can't stand reading HFDs rants. It makes my head feel like its going to blow off. But to say his interest should be less than yours because he didn't attend UConn is foolish.

It's a great game for us. Don't care when it's scheduled. And their coming here first. These two games maybe better than our conference games those two years.

Lets see what the rest of the schedule looks like.

 

[freescooter]

anyone else questioning the date of the trip to byu? a little late in the season for a ooc game no? or to atleast schedule one without a conf settled in yet....

can we start a trade sbrook for umass protest!?!?

It isn't the end of the world for non-conference scheduling. USC--you've heard of them, right? regularly plays a non-conference game against Notre Dame in late October or November. Pitt is playing at ND in November and Stanford hosts them in November. Wisconsin is playing BYU next season in early November. Last season Georgia Tech played them on the last weekend of October. We played Notre Dame in November. So while it is not traditional, it isn't unheard of either to play a major opponent, particularly an independent, during what is usually considered "the conference season." Heck, Florida is ending its season with 2 consecutive non-conference games, Florida State which I guess you could call a rivalry, and Georgia Southern. Georgia plays App. state in November. So to suggest that there is something wrong or small time or whatever about playing a pretty major power later in the season is not to have a real sense of what is going on out there.

 

[Husky25]

Wasn't the Notre Dame game away and played later in the year? What exactly is the issue? We don't have OOC opponents for 2014, Now two of those slots are filled. It's like going to Mortons and ordering a sirloin, but are pi$$ed when the chef doesn't give you filet out of the goodness of his heart. Grow up!!
