You say SB is the 3rd. All I've read, both today, are SB and BYU as OOC games for 2014. Am I missing one?

I am assuming we will be able to find a quality team with which to start a home and home series on the road in 2014. Teams are much more willing to schedule series that start with home games instead of road games. That is why getting BYU to start the series at UConn is so significant.

No. Bearing. On. The. Tailgate. At. Rentschler. Whatsoever.

Do you really base your tailgate on the opponent? Chicken wings before the Buffalo game, should be a mere coincidence, not cause/effect.

i just hope that all of our younger fans and drunk fans behave when they get asked questions they dont want to be bothered with at the current moment of beer and football....have u ever been to a byu game? the fans are nice and great but the mission groups are going to make salad out of shit that week in the new england area.
 
also this was talked about a while back but byu is showing interest and offering new england kids up the wazzu all of a sudden. should have seen the signs....
 
It's not a big secret that the easiest BCS game to schedule right now is with BYU especially if you're willing to travel to Provo late in the season. BYU has been desperately trying to fill its OOC late season schedule.

In 2014, they have Nevada, Boise, (away) UNLV as their late season home games.
In 2015, they only had Cincy (and now UConn) home after mid October.
In 2016 they have no home games scheduled after mid October.

So while this game looks like a marriage of desperation, the bride at least has some sex appeal.

"“We are grateful to UConn for the opportunity to play this home-and-home series and look forward to the games,” said BYU director of athletics Tom Holmoe. "The Huskies have played great football as an FBS member, winning league titles and earning numerous bowl invitations. Scheduling this game in the Northeast gives our fans traveling to the game opportunities to visit places they may not have been before. We are also excited to welcome UConn to Provo for its first-ever visit to LaVell Edwards Stadium.”"

No but I have been to Utah...twice. Salt Lake City is a disgustingly clean city. It's like they have little gnomes hiding in the alleys and if you track a tree leaf for more than a city block they scurry out, clean it, and back without anyone seeing them. The mountains make for a gorgeous back drop too.

BYU dealt with Jim McMahon for 4 years, anything Connecticut throws at them, pales in comparison.

that clean hugh? thats dirty clean!

i can care less about the visit to utah travel wise. when u book teams your sending the fanbase to expierence culture else where. but byu at the rent first is going to lead to some eye openers for some here.

i will say this right now. what ever we do seats wise for michigan end game. those will be full + more for byu. so we should be puming that. but hey, if we just expanded to 50k-60k then..............x.............y.........z....................yea

Um... Yeah, we really base our tailgate on the opponent. For the Buffalo game, I went to Bidwell the night before, ordered two Taverns with sauce on the side. During the tailgate I re-fried the wings in a cast iron pan, tossed em in the sauce right after... Let me tell you, it's one of the best ideas I've ever had. For Temple we did cheesesteaks, NC State we did NC BBQ, and so on...

Well, good luck deciding what the appropriate cuisine will be for BYU's visit. Having been to Salt Lake at least four times, I'm not sure how to theme that one. (Other than serving non-alcohol drinks, which is not going to happen).

Bidwell has the best wings in Eastern CT, but we, as a group, prepare our food for our tailgate from scratch...okay the wing sauce is bottled, but they aren't restaurant bought. BTW - for Buffalo, skip the wings and go right to bison burgers. We've had those on more than a few occasions, just can't tell you if it was before or because of we were playing UB or not.

#3: Jell-O - At one time, Utahns consumed more Jell-O per capita than any other state in the country. Green is the color of choice, but Utahns will eat just about any "Jell-O salad" if it contains canned fruit and is topped with whipped cream. Legend has it that peas were once added to the jiggly mix, but few have been willing to recount the culinary horrors.

Ha - Blue Jello shots it is!

And they like melons, which doesn't make them so different from us after all. Especially before it gets too cold and everybody bundles up.
 
i would like to be the 1st to invite geln falls own jimmer and his smoking hot wifey to the rent for the game!!!

We all know jello shots are the regional specialty of the Jungle quad.

Excellent marketing ploy. "We have some of your fans/alumni here and have a very nice state!" Now we need to get the Big 10 to buy into that.

BYU women must have the highest blonde per capita....but they don't really party

Provo and SLC are beautiful and a couple of years ago, the State finally got rid of its low alcohol rule

That trip is well worth it if you can afford the airfare

if I did not know better, I would say that they just marketed our football team better than we ever have.

I keed, I kid.
 
Nice pickup. But, this was no stroke of genius by Warde grabbing an independent. Plus NBE is probably begging BYU to join the flaming pile of .
 
I really can't wait to go to Utah!

How about wings before the game and bison sliders after? That's what we did...best tailgate of the year. Anyone know how restrictive the lots are in Provo?
 
My buddy and I are already excited to go to Utah in 2015. Good job UConn.
