For whatever reason, a different much higher standard seems to apply to UConn. Maybe some of these Tornado Alley schools are turning their nose up at "northeastern football" because they feel superior despite the Big 12 not winning a national championship in football in nearly two decades?
It will be the opposite if this is dragged out and UConn is left out again. There will be less support for football investment and there will be calls for UConn to drop to FCS.
Truth is a defense
Then, when UConn fans travel to Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas for football games, they can bring some pizza from Sally's or Pepe's in New Haven with them. In exchange, we will get some Tex-Mex from our new friends in the Big 12.
Well, that's not happening. So relax.
And you wonder why some people think we are arrogant?
Believe it or not, a good portion of the country prefers other pizza styles. And their opinions count as much as New Haven style fans. In fact, even in CT, that style is in the minority.
If the "best basketball conference" can't be convinced to take the "best basketball school in the country" what can ya do?
Could like this post 100 times if i could. UConn Twitter has been pretty much an embarrassment.
It’s sucks hearing the Big XII directors’ reasoning but to play devils advocate, it does LOOK like UConn doesn’t care about football to SOME degree. We are 1 of maybe 3-4 schools that has their stadium off campus. And it’s not really even that close, it’s 25 miles away. And then that stadium is only 38,000? I get that it’s expandable but it would be by far the smallest in the conference. So while we in Connecticut may understand that the decision to not build a stadium in Storrs was due to logistics, that probably isn’t a satisfactory answer to every other team in the conference who managed to do it. Additionally, what they’re saying about the deficit isn’t that we spend too much money it’s that we run the department poorly. How many times have we bitched about how the state screws us with the XL contract? Or the Rent? Or how the new hockey barn is half the size it should be? It’s not like we’re oblivious to these things either. Not saying I agree with them that we shouldn’t be invited, just that it is understandable to an extent.
Hell, they're too lazy to even make a hamburger or sloppy joe. Nope, it's just "loose meat" sandwiches
Next article will say "won't" face resistance. Moving up on the scale.
Nope, we are not babies, and yes, they have our attention for however long it takes to play out. Thing is, we have seen this movie before, and with the writers on strike, we are unable to fathom how the ending could have gotten rewritten.
