Missouri home and home...not bad

The other non conference games, not counting the Villanova, Maine and Holy Cross ones, aren't all that bad either. Good to see UMass on the schedule as it's the closest D-1 rival and a natural rival for the Huskies. B1G games are gonna always gonna attract a crowd.

This means only 6 home games next year but it's the type of game that has to be scheduled. Use some of the savings on your season ticket package to go to Mizzou or BYU.

Now just don't let them buy out the return game....

Not to be Negative but the 1st game is @ mizzou.will we see them at the Rent?

If it's good enough for Michigan, it should be good enough for Mizzouri. They Played Toledo at the Glass Bowl which seats barely over 26,000. Only 24K were in attendance.

In 1999 I was driving back from Nevada and was traveling though Mizz on a Sat AM. I saw many (dozens) cars with a tiger tail coming out of the trunk. Couln't figure it out for a bit until I heard on the local radio about the upcoming game. Are there lots of Husky Tails driving into the Rent on Saturdays?

Probably in bad taste. Huskies can be pets. There's a high potential of protests from animal rights groups.

Now just don't let them buy out the return game....

They played Toledo at the Glass Bowl 2 weeks ago, which seats barely over 26,000. Only 24K were in attendance.

I vote for the organization of a bus trip to Mizzou! If we could do it for Michigan, why not? Anyone else like this idea?

 

[ZooCougar]

Surprised to get this series. Nice job. And this is a road game with 2 hours for me. Score!

are they any good at hoops? Maybe do an add-on series?

I'm sure at this point the cost of buying out UConn would be extreme, like $2m.

 

[Srqhusky]

Can we all just start planning this road trip right now? This trip is happening!

Lol already texted the wife we are going. Lets get a good show I g for this.

Use some of the season ticket savings, how much of $40 is going to be left after a trip to Mizzou!?

 

[OkaForPrez]

UConn & Mizzou to the B1G. Where's that cat?

 

[2Infinity]

This is a solid addition...nice job Warde!! If we end up being one of the three AAC East teams playing newcomer Navy as well next season, then it becomes a real good schedule.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Good work! So that fills up the non-conference slate for next year - Villanova, Army, at Mizzou and at BYU.

Not to douse this party with a fire hose but it's gonna be a dreadful home schedule next year. Absolutely dreadful.

 

[upstater]

Interesting thing here about the dates is that Missouri cancelled a series with Memphis on those same exact dates.

 

[Waquoit]

Whaddya mean? We have a better chance for home wins! Turn that frown upside-down!

 

[Husky25]

My wife said we can go if our (at that point) almost 3 y.o. comes with. That will have to be worked out...3 hours in a plane (excluding potential layover at O'Hare) vs. 19 hour car trip.

 

[ZooCougar]

They think they are.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Not to douse this party with a fire hose but it's gonna be a dreadful home schedule next year. Absolutely dreadful.

I was thinking of that too.

2 games OOC - Army, Villanova.
2 games in AAC East - USF, ECU
2 games in AAC West from - Tulsa, Tulane, Memphis, Houston or Navy (SMU is home this season so I'll rule them out).

Best case: Army, Nova, USF, ECU, Houston, Navy.

Yikes...I still think you take this game though as long as their is a bigbuy out.

Any schedule that gives us a shot at going to a bowl game is a good schedule.

 

[Dooley]

HUGE series get for Warde. This should appease all of the Warde bashers for a while. This is a premier series with a premier SEC opponent and, as of today, they are returning the trip to the Rent. I hope the buyout in 2017 is substantial but you never know. Regardless of whether or not Mizzou buys out the 2017 return trip, it's a GREAT opportunity for UCONN fans to travel and represent on the national stage. Get your airline tickets now!

I've already told the wife that I am taking two trips next year: Missouri and BYU. VERY excited!!!

do the flight, give the passengers in front, behind, and in your rows little "gift bags" with ear plugs, some cheez-its, and a mini bottle of vodka or whiskey if you can somehow get them thru security.

Any idea if Tulsa will be an away game? That's another relative close away game.

I would like Warde to schedule the following schools purely for my own convenience.

Kansas
Kansas State
UMKC (For soccer)
Nebraska
Colorado
Colorado State
