Extended Game Week - UConn vs. Holy Cross (8/31 @7:30p SNY) + Post Game

Bummed out...first opener I will miss at the Rent aince it opened. I am humbled though by what's going on down here in Houston where I have been with NY-TF1 since yesterday after we arrived following a straight through drive from NYC. Hoping to watch some highlights of the game when I can. It's really bad down here and is going to get worse as there is no let up in rain forecast till at least Friday.

God Bless You and keep you safe! You are doing God's work!
 
DB: Kyle Buss, 5-10, 170, Shenendehowa (Clifton Park, N.Y.)
Results: 4.77 40, 4.00 SH, 38-0 PB, 30.7 VJ, 100.56 SPARQ
Breakdown: One of four players to top the century mark in the SPARQ rating.

I don't recall seeing this mentioned when Buss transferred, so forgive me if it was. In 2012, when he was an unranked DB prospect, Buss posted the 4th best SPARQ rating of the 900 athletes that participated in the NY event. His 4.00 shuttle time was the fastest overall. Then he attended Milford Academy moved to WR, he grew another inch, added 25lbs, ran a 4.34 and became a top 100 recruit in the nation.

I hope everything works out for this kid at UConn....he could be special.
 
So is it just SNY for the game? Any streaming options? I'll be in Vermont to start the long weekend. No cable (not that I have SNY at home either), but I have wifi.

ESPN3 is streaming the game for those outside of SNY local range. That's what we're hearing at least and that's what ESPN is saying.
 
How is 2 days before the season and they're not sure if players are eligible?

Buss is the only one and he has a unique transfer/eligibility situation. They are most likely waiting for a final ruling on a waiver request.

From the Fuller article above:

>>Speaking of Buss, it's been on my radar to ask Edsall if he would be eligible this season after transferring in from Robert Morris. I finally got around to asking that question today. "Right now no but we are trying to investigate every way possible to see if there is an opportunity for that," Edsall said.<<

I think we'll see a pretty big bump for USF if we take care of business Thursday. For better or worse, we know how fickle the casual fan base is, but they'll show for team showing some promise against a ranked opponent. Could see 35k assuming USF is still Top 25.
Expand ...

No offense but that's insane. If they get 25k in the stadium for USF that's a huge number.

When the AD tells you there are 16k season tickets - that means we are just about at 10k for non-students. They are printing tickets as giveaways for HC and still only have distributed 21k.

None taken. 35k is probably aggressive, but I do think it'll be higher than 25k. There's a big difference between a Thursday night game against HC and a Saturday afternoon game against a ranked opponent IMO. Especially if the team puts on a decent showing tomorrow night. There are a lot of people in wait and see mode.
 

>>Thursday’s game renews an old New England rivalry as UConn and Holy Cross meet for the 29th time in a series that dates to 1916 … The Crusaders hold a 19-8-1 series lead though the schools have not met since 1985 … The game will be the first for Holy Cross against an NCAA FBS opponent since a 30-21 win against Army in 2002.<<

There hasn't been 25k in the stadium in years.

This HC match up is right from the Rutty playbook.

Outstanding. If metro Boston isn't out of range, Vermont certainly will be.
 
I absolutely hate these 1AA games. Though Edsall handled them very well in his previous tenure. We really need a comfortable win 35-10 or something to get rid of the ghosts of Pasaualoni and Diaco.

Not true. I remember recent USF and Navy home games were 30k+

The Navy game might have been close. But if you are talking about actual bodies in the stadium rather than what they announce not so much.

That's actually technically not true. Gordie was a Soph in 1985 and wasn't yet the prolific player on both sides of the ball he would become in the following years. The 1985 season was an odd one for HC...injury riddled, we ended up 4-6-1 which was the only losing season between 1981-1991.

Different world today, but I'll remind you guys that HC pummeled UConn 41-0 in 1984. :)
