Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2307688, member: 1526"] You may think you know what you're talking about but you don't. Historically, URI is a former arch rival of ours from the Yankee Conference era. We have likely played them more often (well over 100 games) than any other opponent. They're also on the upswing and garnering national attention with Hurley there. I believe they also made a nice NCAA run last season. I couldn't care less how many times Cooley has beaten them. I didn't indicate we shouldn't play you. I have no problem with that, but it does us little good to win the game. We have more in common with URI, a flagship state university in very close proximity that used to be our main rival, vs. a small catholic college which was a big part of the reason why we now find ourseleves in a mid major conference, thanks to the PC mafia conference administration that ran the old Big East into oblivion by favoring the small catholic BB schools over the football schools. We do you a favor by playing you. It helps legitimize your program and does little for us. It doesn't do us much good if we win because we're expected to. 4 > 0 and all. You're perhaps presently equal with URI, no better or worse, in terms of national stature. And you have almost 3,000 posts on another team's fan message board and I'm the idiot? That makes it look to me like you've got an obsession with us. [/QUOTE]
