Schedule PC

[TRest]

They certainly would not be in my top 20, but certainly in the 20-30 range because of regionalism and old Big East ties, besides they have been competitive of late. They would likely sellout or close to it - and you can't say that about most AAC teams under Aresco'a leadership.
Besides I would love to see both Dunn's and Andre's security posse in one building post Shrine.

Won't that be a little difficult during the NBA season? Assuming Dunn stays in the league.

Witchita State is probably going to be better than anyone in the new Big East this year

Witchita State, Cincy, Nova, SMU

4 Top 25 teams, 3 in the Top 15, and 2 in the Top 10... all at home. To go along with the toughest OOC road schedule in the country, the best pre season tourney ever, and Cuse at MSG is just as much of a home game as the XL Center in many people's eyes.

 

[upstater]

I'm talking about your entire home slate. It sucks

Are you joining the AAC? Because then we'd play you. If not, you're not better than any of the P5 OOC teams we play, and you never will be.

UConn controls its OOC, not the conference it's in. UConn has been in the same conference since 1979, and hasn't received an invitation to leave for elsewhere. UConn has 7 OOC games with schools much better than yours.

There are literally dozens of posts on this board over the years mocking that program. How times have changed

Your conference blows and your home schedule is abysmal. It just is what it is.

You must like living vicariously through Villanova and all their success, because your school hasn't done squat for your conference's reputation. You're like a Mississippi State fan always talking about their great conference, but at least they're in the SEC, and not in some mediocre shell of itself.

The fact is, UConn schedules several top notch OOC teams. It can't do better than it already does, and it certainly wouldn't improve things with a crap school like PC.

I can't speak for other Boneyard posters; but....

Wichita State>>>>>>>>Providence

Look, I'd like to play Providence; it would be fun as many of my friends went to PC.

However, please understand, your program is but a spec of dirt in the dust bin of college basketball history.

Losing to UNC in the round of 32 is your most recent significant accomplishment. Congrats.

You'd have to be 35 to have any memory of your last trip to the final four.

Pathetic.

UConn will play you if we want to.

Till then; sit down, shut up and take notes on how to be a championship program.

The facts are your conference is crap, and you can't even win that anymore. Times are changing. I came into this just looking for discussion and sharing an interview from Cooley talking about UConn and the thin skins like yourself just couldn't help yourself. And now look what you've made me do, talk about reality, that's no fun. Now we're all depressed. I'm glad you're happy with how things are going and your OOC schedule. You better be because it's going to suck having a home game and watching your squad playing against Tulane and whatever directional U team in front of 5k. But you can at least say you played a good team in a small gym in Portland a couple months ago.

And Upstater, you win, you are right and I'm wrong. I'm giving that to you now because I know otherwise you will NEVER shut the ___ up.

You keep bringing up attendance, but you are aware of the fact that despite our "crap' conference, our average attendance is still higher than yours, right?

I can't believe someone would visit this board and post this way. That post is the best example of a complete lack of self awareness I have ever read.

That it comes from a PC fan posting on a UCONN board also makes it pretty funny.

No you came here to troll

For a second I read this as "I'm talking about your entire home state. It sucks."

I'm thinking man FriarJ is a [penis] today.

We don't live through our conference. We live through our team. UConn has Syracuse, Villanova, Arizona, Auburn, Oregon, and 2 of Michigan State, Oklahoma, Arkansas and North Carolina. 7 tough games. It doesn't need to play a crap school like PC.

The fact that your avatar has orange hair is apropos. Did you plan that?

I do know that, do you realize UConn is 5 times the size of PC and the state school.

It was posted directly to Upstater as you can see I quoted his post. I probably should have taken it private but in my defense he is as thick as a brick and you have to be aggressive and clear with him in order for him to not twist your words around endlessly. You guys know that though

 

[Chief00]

Won't that be a little difficult during the NBA season? Assuming Dunn stays in the league.

Not necessarily if they don't have a game. They have access to private planes.

In so doing you came as a visitor and insulted one of the county's premier basketball programs and its fan base. You are not "aggressive and clear", you are clueless.

LOL, it's a message board. Insults? They must teach that as a class in Storrs. Get over it.

Kiss the rings all while being insulted non stop? You're the clueless one. That's the problem with your bitching. I never say one negative thing until attacked. Read the thread.

 

[HawkHusky]

Based on the back and forth in this thread (and Chief's Dunn/Drummond thing), I'm even more interested in making this happen. Cooley is a good coach, and Providence will likely make the post-season most years (and have an early exit ) for as long as he stays there.

Yes, they are a lesser program, but we're UCONN so most programs we play every year aren't going to be on our level of success. Let's not gloss over the fact that we're playing an away game at Auburn this year. They haven't made the NCAA tourney in almost 15 years. But we don't even have to leave the state to play the Friars. And, like Syracuse at MSG, we could be adding another "neutral" site victory to our resume without even having to leave our own backyard.

I remember a lot of Boneyarders saying that they would never want to schedule BC in anything after the whole ACC blackballing incident. Now most Boneyarders love having a multi-year football series with them. PC didn't do us dirty like BC. Why is the idea of scheduling a game at Mohegan in place of Coppin State/Columbia/Colgate such a heinous crime?
