This guy is not too happy:

Quick thoughts on -- what else? -- Big 12 expansion

Damage control... Sounds like he couldn't confirm either. There are ways to combat the growing "cut" narrative if Memphis Pres/AD wanted to.

Hopefully no one from the B12 is at this game, both from the football quality and the crowd

Student section is jammed though

From the sounds of it, Cincinnati's isn't much better. Nor is their scoreboard.

Just FYI, no representative from Big 12 in the #UConn press box tonight...not that there would be.

 

[JSM1970]

Also, hopefully the band, cheerleaders and dance team aren't part of the evaluation.

That's the press box though. Not the ADs box. Not the presidents box. Right?

I doubt they would be there anyway.

Would they really fly up on a Thursday to see UConn-Maine? At least give us the courtesy to come to the UVA game.

 

[UC1995]

They said that the games this season will not be the deciding factor... We just need to show growth and that we are in every game.... We need to figure out how that qb carved us up that game.

For what its worth, we outdrew Cincinnati tonight......

 

[UConn Dan]

For what its worth, we outdrew Cincinnati tonight.

And we didn't almost lose to Appalachian St as a top 10 team in the country.

Appalachian State went 11-2 last year. They would have eviscerated us tonight.

 

[UConn Dan]

Appalachian State went 11-2 last year. They would have eviscerated us tonight.

Are we ranked in the top 10?

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

App State is also an FBS team and is also really, really good. They get Miami at home tihs year.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Top 10 teams lose games every week. Not nearly as embarrassing as losing to an FCS team.

But my point: it seems pretty weak to mock Tennessee for barely beating a team that would have destroyed us tonight.

They should sell the dance team's first outfit at the co-op booth. I'd get my wife one for my birthday this year.

If you are a streamer and watched, it was an interesting game...if you like inept offenses.

Appalachian State would have won that game in regulation if their kicker had not missed a routine PAT. Appalachian State would have won that game in OT if the Tennessee runner, who was stuffed and fumbled 4 feet from the goal, hadn't had that fumble recovered in the end zone by a team mate.

Moral victory, moral victory...put an asterisk on that loss.

Don't hang you head on this. There were a ton of comp tickets passed out for the Maine game by the Athletic Dept.
When you see people walking around the RENT wearing 10 year old UConn basketball tees you know this to be true.

Sooooo...you're saying we have fans who have been with us for 10 years or more????
Retro is in. Haven't you heard? Sheesh.

Hey, don't hang your head.

In observing all of this confusion and chaos of who will finally be asked to join the Big 12 conference,I would hope that each Big 12's presidents wife does not send them out to do the grocery shopping,because they will not be back for at least a week.

You think that will bother any of their wives?

The Bengals also played and were in town too. Perfect storm for terrible attendance - FCS game, Thursday night, Bengals in town.

Have you seen though what preseason attendance is like?

Almost no one there at these games.

If you have tickets to both the 4th Bengals preseason game and the Cinci game, it is not even a question which one you're attending.

No, the WRONG UConn fans showed up last night. Duh. If I had showed up last night in my 2004 national championship t-shirt, it would have meant I'm a n00b football fan and negated every time I went to Memorial Stadium as a kid.
