Right about when we'll be wrapping up anothr Acc spanking in the USVI....bring it on.

In unrelated news, Dan, I thought you said a few weeks back you were going to rotate your avatar to different hot chicks, or something to that affect. You're on a roll with this statistical analysis, so no better time than the present...

Maybe I'm wrong but I think those numbers were taken from a poll that was run by a NY paper a few years ago, of course RU fans jumped on it. You are right on about the eyeballs.
 
Could you imagine our new recruiting rankings on Rivals, Scout and 24/7 in we go B1G. All our 2* players magically become 3*, the 3*'s become 4*'s and the one 4* star recruit we get every couple of years becomes a top 50 5***** .
 
UConn football has yet to have the season that captures Connecticut
Like the dream season in Basketball.
The Fiesta Bowl team although good was written off after the first few games.
They kind of snuck in at the end under much negative media scutiny.
The ball is in Uconn's court to show that you want to bring Connecticut back to big time football.
When that happens the buzz will overlap into NYC.
Gino's team owns NY and Uconn men's basketball has been accepted as a local team.
especially with NYC kids like Kemba.

Unfortunaly for us the school spent any football capital it had with a bad hire.
Bad mostly in the sense that it said we didn't really want to be big time.
What school serious about upgrading hires an unemployed coach fired from a school that wasn't competitive?
If this had not happened who knows where would be today.
I thought from day one that if the B1G takes us and Rutgers that would sew up the entire NE section of the US from Chicago NY. If the their presidents don't see this than are best option is to make the NBE the best football conference it can be.
When no one in the NE is watching the SEC or any other exclusive regional conference maybe they will figure it out Connecticut as the only legitimate football team in New England will have fans from Maine to NYC.
Both these markets are currently vast voids
I have to laugh at the Super Conference limited to certain regions as they currently exist.
The long term succuss of Football will be by inclusion not exclusion.
At some level the media genius's probably understand this.

Factual point of reference - Pasqualoni was NOT unemployed when hired by UConn. He was on the staff of the Dallas Cowboys from the time he was out of Syracuse till he came to Storrs. His 2004 Syracuse team tied for the Big East title (uncompetitive??).

For the record, while PP was employed by the Cowboys when JH interviewed him for the UConn job, he bounced around between the Cowboys and Dolphins coaching staffs after Cuse gave him the boot.

It also can be argued that PP was on his way to the unemployment line as during the time that he was being hire by UConn, the Cowboys were bringing Rob Ryan in to run their defense. I believe the best that PP could have hoped for (if the UConn job didn't open up) would have been Wade Phillips being both willing and able to add him to the staff at Houston.

Agree with the sentiment but pp came from the nfl directly. He wasn't unemployed ( cowboys)... I even recall a message from Jerry thanking him and wishing him well. He didn't leave the cowboys on bad terms. Now some might say they didn't appear to try and get him to stay either, but that might not be a fair observation.

North Jersey is in the NYC DMA and is very densely populated. RU's NYC numbers are pumped up by NJ delivering NJ. Still, households are households.

The athletic department has completely dropped the ball in fostering a football culture on campus and around the state. They've also failed to sustain the Husky Hoopla that existed throughout the 90's.

I understand that fans must also be accountable but there are so many things the AD could do.

fwiw, there are multiple tweets over the last few days speculating about it or people saying they heard something. not sure if its all based on one radio phone call and everyone's rehashing the same rumor, but it's not 100% unsubstantiated.

edit: even torrey smith of the ravens tweeted about it.

LMAO. You propose a set of facts that would absolutely make it 100% unsubstantiated, and then conclude that it is not. Nothing can be substantiated even 1% if you don't know where the story is coming from.

1. That ranking was done by internet searches. It was very creative, but should be viewed as little more than a WAG.

2. Rutgers may have more fans than ND at this point in the NY TV market, because recognize that 75% of the State of New jersey (as opposed to 25% or 30% of the State of CT, which is much smaller than NJ anyway) is part of that market. ND is certainly more popular than RU in New York City itself, but NYC is such a bad market for college football, and the market that is there is so diversified because of lack of historically strong local teams and the diversity of the origin of the population, that I would not be at all surprised if RU's edge over ND in New Jersey put it at #1 in the market.

you are probably correct... But, whether a fan supports Rutgers or ND, the real question is will they attend games, watch on TV, or spend $'s... I'm guessing a ND fan in NYC is more apt to 'actively' support ND than someone that comes up as a Rutgers fan.

Again, it depends if you are talking a "New York City" fan or a "New York City TV Market" fan. You are entirely correct on the former, but that is not what the data is purporting to show.

A better question is should it matter. As noted above, households are households even if they are in NJ.
