USC and UCONN will continue to play every year.That's good for the game. With Tennessee re-stoking the fires with UConn.. I wonder what that does for the UConn/SC series.. will UConn want to play two SEC teams every year or will they want to spread the OOC love around to another P5 conference? Does UConn have an ongoing series with a Big 10 team?
It can't be like it was unless both Tennessee and UConn are final 4 caliber teams.I really do not view this matchup as a rivalry anymore, like it once was. I have moved on.
How is it good for the game? I’m serious. Don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with playing them, but I’m not sure how these two teams playing each other really advances the game. To be honest, UConn in the Gamecocks playing is more meaningful.That's good for the game
I have mixed feelings about playing Tennessee. On the one hand, I don't see it as advancing the game because I don't see them as a "modern day" rival. On the other hand, they were a top 16 team last season so being in the BE...Uconn needs to play these teams. I just think they should choose another team. When Tennessee almost beat Uconn last year...their fanbase used that as bragging rights even though the reality is...they got beat by a Uconn team with a bunch of freshman, a couple upper classmen who underperformed and a high schooler. I'm not suggesting we kick Tennessee when they are struggling, I'm just saying...don't help them up. They seem pretty confident that Harper, along with their incoming recruits is the solution to put them back in the conversation for best teams in the NCAA, but...I don't see it. If they finished 4th in the SEC...I wouldn't be shocked. Maybe my feelings aren't that...MIXED. lolHow is it good for the game? I’m serious.

Well...that's my point. Why play them. It's like a win to them.THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS AS “ almost beat”. That’s what loser say. Like barely lost lol
Yeah but not lolWell...that's my point. Why play them. It's like a win to them.
Because regardless of how UConn fans may feel this game is now meaningless and Vice versa for Tennessee fans... this is still a highly publicized matchup between two championship pedigree programs with talented players that ESPN is going to heavily promote. It’s another opportunity to see WCBB on the national level... high level matchups between the big programs in any particular sport are always “good for the game”..How is it good for the game?

[Shrugs] I guess. But there are only so many out of conference openings, and I can think of a lot of teams that are more compelling.Because regardless of how UConn fans may feel this game is now meaningless and Vice versa for Tennessee fans... this is still a highly publicized matchup between two championship pedigree programs with talented players that ESPN is going to heavily promote.

It's highly publicized like the next...."Fast and Furious" movie. No doubt about that. It will make money, but in reality it doesn't have the same impact as maybe...the first 1 to 3 movies. I'm not willing to say that it's good for the movie industry. It was, but significantly lesser now. I can't see holding my bladder until the tv timeout anymore. Fans will tune in and advertisers will take their chances, but if fan bases gradually embrace nonchalance...this is just a slow death. There are really good teams with no television worthy rivals, because...in the end, fans and their "intensity" define the best rivals.Because regardless of how UConn fans may feel this game is now meaningless and Vice versa for Tennessee fans... this is still a highly publicized matchup between two championship pedigree programs with talented players that ESPN is going to heavily promote.

ZERO doubt that this series continues. Outside of the fanbases...someone is praying for a loss for either team. lol ANY fan of WCBB...wants this to happen! Tennessee fans will be like...."Whoa...it's Christmas!"Lets hope this is the case. Even though we've been on the losing end way more than the winning end, it's definitely a game I look forward to every season.
