[Adios]

Sweet. Though the BE would have been better off using half of that $20 million to bring in Boise State.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

So our already unattractive home schedule now has WVU replaced by Temple. Ugh!

Maybe I should cancel my season ticket request and wait until UConn has a $50 deal for season tickets on Groupon!

 

[Hoophound]

All home games are fun as long as the crowd is loud. Go scream your head off and have a few beers. I would love to be at every game but I live too far away. Temple, WVU whatever. Who cares. Grill some and have some fun.

You've got the right idea HH! Go to the game, enjoy the tailgating, be an active fan and cheer on the team! Don't go to be a "film critic"..... disguised as a football fan!! We need more proactive fans and fewer reactive ones!

So now our schedule looks something like this:

OOC
vs. UMass
vs. NC State
@ Maryland
@ Western Michigan
vs. Buffalo
--------------------------
Big East Games
@Syracuse
@USF
@Louisville
@Rutgers
vs. Pittsburgh
vs. Cincinnati
vs. Temple

Is there any way that we can buy out of that Western Michigan game and replace it with another BCS team?

 

[Adios]

We need to get Western Michigan back for last season. All-time records do matter.

 

[Fishy]

Are we sure that Western Michigan isn't a conference game? I mean, things are moving pretty fast and we might have missed something.

 

[Adios]

We have an all-time losing record with Temple. Hopefully, this new Big East can rectify that.

Seriously? You care about that?

I think we're 0-4 against the Stevens' Institute. They gave up football 90 years ago, but I know where they live if you want to egg their house or something.

Hopefully, we can bounce the hell out of this half-assed Chex-Mix of a conference and leave our overall record against Temple in the same dusty corner that we left Stevens'.

Programs that are no longer at our level or don't exist anymore, you can forget about them. But programs that are at the level we are at? You can ask fans of schools that have been at the top tier longer than we have. It's all about bragging rights.

I wouldn't count Temple out of the BCS world. They do have a very large student body.

Living all-time records do matter. Living all-time records = culture of the organization. He represents the kind of players we need.

Fishy expects you to arrange the series against the Stevens Institute.

Kidding, but in all seriousness, I rather just win the game and not worry about the records, last season we left on the table.

 

[MattMang23]

Butchy, please stop posting on this topic. It's for your own good.

 

[rw005]

I will only agree with Butchy if the opponent was West Virginia or Boston College

 

[TRest]

I guess UMAss will join the BE in the future so we can even things up. Can't wait.

 

[zls44]

Hold your nose and shake your head.

There's no place in the universe where the all-time series against WMU matters.

This would be kind of cool, but UMass is only expanding their stadium in Amherst to 25K.

According to some on this board, that's easily overlooked. Not to mention if Temple was playing in a 25k stadium they still wouldn't sell it out unless PSU plays there.

Time will tell what comes to be. UConn is a pleasant surprise, wouldn't you say?

we dont want another bcs team in new england. not anytime soon. umass in the mac is perfect for the next 25 years for us. it allows us to build more and more and be the big public in the area with the highest football level. it allows us to focus on quietly being better than bc. it alows a nice rivarly to be played and not hurt a sos or recruiting. playing 1 mac school a year is a good idea imo for the schedule and its even better when its a old time rival that u can get in ct most years and when its not its at a easy fan spot for our fans. it also won't hurt recruiting as we are a level above(rare kid choices im sure will happen). it also starts the pattern that we will see unh and maine one day join in the mac and uri will get its back. by then bc will be so freaking down the drain that they will join and there will be a northeast football league that were just to dam good for just like we would be in bball. they can have a league that plays mac level football, big time hockey, bball and the whole time i hold my middle finger up with my tounge out. /drunkrant

Temple is a complete dog. They're a known quantity and they were unfit for the conference when the Big East was the Big East and not whatever this muddle is now.

Even now, their primary attraction to the conference is nothing past the fact that they have 85 players who are at 98.6 Fahrenheit and that their ties to where they are can be quickly severed. We're buying long-term misery for short-term gain.

I'm not even going to pretend to understand the thought process that would come up with UMass as a viable addition - that's a brain stem injury, not an idea.

But, anywho, if I put one of these "" here, everything will be okay because it is all about thinking positive.

Lemme throw a few more out there just to be sure - , , , , , !

temple bball takes the subway to some bball games in phili. they claim its for the players to get in touch with the roots of the comunity and get the vibe etc. i claim its becuase they don't have enough $$ rent a bus. they have alot of great tools at there door, a big stadium to play in, a city that likes bball etc. they failed once before, what makes anyone think they can grab sucess this time around considering the BE is 5% what it was the first time around for them. schools like temple and memphis are great cuas type schools. not so much bcs schools.
