Good idea. Let us schedule alab., tx., mich and more. It's who you are playing tht matter, forget about being blown out. The following year ND will be begging us to play; afterall, the focus will be on the schedule not that the big boys ran over us as straws. Recruits will see us on tv being demolished and the recruiting lines will light-up; afterall, the underdog, the overmatched, those who are so willing to get creamed, etc are all positive positions of power. I have been a student at Uconn many decades ago, but I have also been at Berkeley, UT-Austin and Washington. You could not get anywhere near those Univ on game day. That is football culture and we don't have. We can begin to build it, but it is a lot more then a group of boneyarder shouting about why we are not there, yet. As one poster writes above: can we fill a third of the stadium with our own fans at mich and enough of the parking lots around to show that we came, played and had fun? No. We talk, fictively, about having the NY mkt, but that is bs. New Yorkers will not necessarily travel to Conn for football- if they are even interested. It is a mkt that we can, maybe, nurse-- but I don't we can move bodies- so it would have to be tv. But it would be nice to try. Our games with Rutgers certainly didn't change much. I think our leaders are doing the wise thing which is to use the monies we have amassed constructively and not stuff our mouth with more then we can chew.
