Good riddance to what exactly?That home slate may be the worst I've ever seen. Good riddance.
Whoops. Not meant for that post.Good riddance to what exactly?
St BonaventureYikes. We couldn't get anyone to play us outside of the B4A or the BE/XII challenge?
That’s not at home. Pretty big slap in face to donors but whatever better than nothingSt Bonaventure
His post didn't say anything about home games. I don't care where we play the good opponents as long as they're on the scheduleThat’s not at home. Pretty big slap in face to donors but whatever better than nothing
ASU makes sense since the Hurley's aren't interested in playing each other so that's understandable. Why Cuse is in the other bracket is a mystery to me.Wow they put us on the direct opposite side of the battle for Atlantis bracket from ASU and Cuse so neither of those are even guaranteed matchups. I guess they are hoping for a headline finals?
Cuse prob didn’t want to play us unless they had to based on the last meeting and direction of the programsASU makes sense since the Hurley's aren't interested in playing each other so that's understandable. Why Cuse is in the other bracket is a mystery to me.
It's not clear, but Georgia checked with Green Bay before using their logo.Did Grambling check with Georgia before using their logo?
I agree wholeheartedly. I always try to take the "high road" approach, but it's difficult to do so in this case. When I look at this schedule, the three words I think of are abysmal, pathetic, and embarrassing. This will be really bad for our NET come Selection Sunday, and g-d forbid we lose one of these games (St. Joes). I understand we need a couple cupcakes to develop chemistry, work on the rotation, etc. But If we want to say "UConn is back" and be a visible, relevant, national team again then a big OOC game at Gampel on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon on National TV is a no-brainer. Not withstanding throwing a bone to the fan base and season ticket holders. Very disappointing.That home slate may be the worst I've ever seen.
You think potentially playing Auburn (6 seed in Lunardi preseason bracket), Michigan State (7 seed), Baylor (2 seed), West Virginia (9 seed), and St. Boni (5 seed) in 5 of our 11 OOC games will be really bad for our NET? Complain about the home games, fine, but don't worry about OOC SOS.I agree wholeheartedly. I always try to take the "high road" approach, but it's difficult to do so in this case.
