Muffet "...still waiting" on Uconn

If the out-of conference schedule is completed why not announce it?

Muffet is just tweaking Geno a little bit; you know, the type of stuff only Geno engages in.

No, she is just showing loyalty to her new conference. Of course she is going to talk up ACC teams and coaches whenever possible. She knows darn well that UConn is and should be the pre-season top-ranked team and favorite to win the 2014 NC.

That just means the slots are full. The actual dates have to be worked out. With UConn's tendency to play late OOC games, probably not set until after the AAC schedule is finalized.

CVS used to tease the fans at the annual banquet with some of the upcoming opponents, and years ago RU would release the OOC sched before the conference one; however, as scheduling and TV have become more complicated within the game, that stopped.

I was referring to both of her comments, saying she's waiting on UConn when ND knows what's going on with next year's schedule, as well as the comment on Duke. She didn't need to put a #1 before Duke to show loyalty to her new conference. She could have easily said one of the top teams in the country and she would have been both accurate and loyal. She knows which team will be a unanimous preseason #1 and which team beat Duke by 30 last year. I bet she thinks her own team will be better than Duke. It's a nit but it's also a tweak

The Horde has cited many of the OOC games earlier (before season end and during Muffet's original request to play this coming season). However, the actual dates on the calendar are still being worked out. Patience, patience.

Don't believe these posters that are saying the teams have been selected but not the dates.

It's a conspiracy, just like the freshmen's minutes.

Screw Mufffet. She can rot on her tuffet, for all I care.

If Notre Dame plays UConn in the regular season it's to their advantage, so as to prepare them for NCAA Tournament time. I think it's better we let her worry over the fact that she won't get a chance to preview her newest ideas for limiting Stewart.

Let her worry.
 
ND has picked their league, play in it. If they want to play, it' a 3 for 1 with their 1 being on an aircraft carrier in San Diego. Uconn is the ND of WCBB and we should treat ND like they treated Uconn's football team.

Notre Dame will probably play Duke 3 or 4 times this season, whereas they will be fortunate to play UConn once.

If ND does play UConn it will not be fortunate for the Irish, especially with Skylar gone and Stewie revving up. And Kaleena, Stef et al.

Because ESPN has to peruse all available games/dates and decide which games it wants to scheule. Then other media types need to do the same thing. The Big East schedules used to be near the last to be published; the AAC might be a different story. We'll see.

Stale?

Ask WCBB fans and media which were the best games of last year, and I'd bet that the 4 UConn-ND games are in the top 5. Top 10 at worst.

I didn't enjoy havign to play them so often, but no one can deny that WCBB has a lot of snoozer games or ones not played at the highest level. UConn-ND matches were easily among the most competitive, well played, exciting games.

I'm with rocky. I thought it was stale, too, in the wearying sense. 8 times in two years was just too much of a good thing.

Never believe a poster who chooses an orange avatar.

What up with that?

you can't really think that it's not to uconn's advantage , also. and i don't think muffet's doing a whole lot of worrying about schedule, given that they're in a conference that's a whole lot more competitive than uconn's.

So tell Geno he doesn't know what he's doing. He's surely tired of looking at those engineered fouls as Notre Dame's leading offensive weapon, too.

It'll be interesting to see if the ACC referees are half as generous to the newbie AAC member as the Big East officials seemed to be in falling all over themselves to bolster the Domer's Big East challenge to UConn.

you can't really think that geno doesn't want ND on their schedule, and every year if possible.

Yup, it was entirely because of corrupt officials.

Average number of fouls per game?
UConn = 17.4
NDame = 16.0
Percentage of shots from 3:
UConn = 24%
NDame = 17%

You took that portion of my quote out of context, there were a whole lot of conditioners around that portion of my remark, going to the point that one or two meetings a year are usually healthy exciting rivalry basketball, good for the teams and good for the sport, but four times a year is just overkill for the enthusiasm.

You got me there. Although when I picked my color, Tennessee wasn't as hated and I believe the color is closer to Texas orange.

I am a big Huckleberry Hound fan. It would have been a great member name, and being called HH would have been fine. Not sure I would have liked the "you huckleberry" comments I would have received over the years.
 
As opposed to the comments you have received over the years?:eek:

..I think "you huckleberry" would sound pretty innocuous. And, you could refer to the insulting party as "Scooter"!:p

"I don't think so, Scooter!"
 
Random "huckleberry" reference....that's what Doc Holiday (Val Kilmer) called one of the Clanton gang as he got ready to "dispatch" him in the movie Tombstone (with Kurt Russell as Wyatt).
