Has Danny Heard me & Others?

[Chief00]

Chief was thrill to see Danny’s comment and awareness in CTInsider about having some great non/conference games at home. Recognition of that filter is the first step to making necessary changes in a busy World of competing demandds

 

[Dove]

I just called him and he said he did not hear you.

 

[Kitaman]

Chief unless you're our spokesperson, every fan here would like more attractive/competitive matchups at home.

It's like requesting closer bathrooms at a stadium so you don't miss much action..

It wasn't long ago when the one big OOC game of the year was against a Big East team. Now we get 10 Big East games.

 

[navery12]

No

Yes they're aware of it. They were aware of it at the time of scheduling the games also. They chose not to value it because they're correctly doing what is best for the program, not what is best for the fans or season ticket holders. They know that a relevant and successful program is more important to driving fans' interest than 1 additional marquee non-conf home game.

You can call yourself New York's team or say that New York is Storrs South all you want, but it doesn't become true unless you make it so. Increasing our visibility and popularity in the city and surrounding region is a worthwhile effort.

Pretty sure someone gave you a bogus number

It came out of his mouth, it doesn’t matter who gets the credit.

More important than “1 additional marquee non-conf home game”, LOL there is none. In any business (especially one with a $40 million annual deficit) it is important to take care of your best and most loyal customers. Those are the season ticket holders.

 

[uconn_jack]

Until season ticket holders stop leaving scores of empty seats in view of TV cameras during most games, whether they are corporate seats or casual and/or rich fans who only go for big games when we're good, I'm not going to feel that sorry for them.

MSG is more home than the XL center.

I agree with this sentiment, but it’s a pretty big disservice to your hometown fans to not schedule one (1) decent OOC home game.

 

[bigknight3]

No. Def not listen to anything you have to offer while attempting to be the center of attention.

 

[nomar]

Definitely. He also heard me when I said that in the tournament, the team should throw into the ball basket more times than our opponent six times in a row.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Fake news. Just stop. Even me and my crew - who go to every single home game - won’t be at every single MSG game this year. It’s unfair and unrealistic to play this many games there this year.

You can do that and still schedule a home P5 opponent. They are not mutually exclusive.

Sometimes you can, and sometimes you can't.

 

[shizzle787]

Sometimes you can, and sometimes you can't.

Sometimes you can but don’t want to.

nah

 

[willie99]

I've been complaining about this since 1989

Before that, we were one of the chumps

So, you're saying the AD and head coach have been ignoring you a lot longer than they have Chief.

Jimmy never returned any of my calls, although he signed a couple of thank you notes

Actually one I said in the initial post was Danny heard the message, based on his comment.

This thread and Hurley's comment to a much lesser extent (while definitely in the proper spirit of the matter) are bad Karma. Someone will use this as bulletin board material and say "look we are disrespected and aren't looked at as a 'great' game by this program let's go out and kick butt" So I just want to give notice that when someone pulls a Wagner, northeastern, or St. Bonnies on us this year I will remember all you Shizzles out there. It wont be pretty.

If we can’t beat the Wagners of the world, we have bigger problems than the schedule.

Or providing bulletin board material...

 

[August_West]

We went to the Elite 8 in the year crappy St. Bonnies beat us in Hartford, a breath away from the FF. So no, a bad loss doesnt meant bigger problems.
