Tough day for the ACC - hahahaha

[NEforceUConn]

Early game: BCU outclassed by 23

Afternoon game: VT crushed by 30

Late game: Duke humbled by xx?


and lets not forget Miami's spanking, Maryland's downfall, and GT's lesson.

God I hate the ACC!

They have to count on Cuse and Pitt to put W's on the board (oh ya and UNC)

To be fair, they could also win the national championship this week. You forgot FSU

 

[ThisJustIn]

Dunno -- How many TDs will the Aggie defense give up?

I agree with everything you've said and I was going to hit you up with a "like", until I remembered that you want us to join them by 2017 or you'll stop being a UConn fan. So...the ACC's got THAT going for them....which is nice....

yeah FSU is an SEC team that plays in the ACC

Has anyone looked at the B1G lately? They very likely could go 0-Bowl Season. Maryland lost to freaking Marshall and RU lost to ND. Minnesota lost to 'Cuse. They have to hope Nebraska beats Georgia, Wisconsin beats South Carolina, Iowa beats LSU, or Mich St. beats Stanford tomorrow. If they all lose they only have Ohio St left.

If anyone should be criticized, it's them. Louisville and ND are considered ACC schools next year so those two, plus 'Cuse, Pitt, and UNC leave them with 5 wins.

The American is not doing so hot either. ECU won, but Tulane lost and Cincy got blown out. Only have UCF and Houston left to play. Not so hot their either plus our opponents are not the same level as those the ACC or B1G are playing.

Or they could win all 4 and end up 4-3. A little early to bury them

 

[noeynox]

Feel bad for Duke right now. They were the most complete ACC team this side of FSU this year, even if they don't look like they have the athletes of some other schools. Cutcliffe is a GREAT coach.

Or, they could go 5-2 and we could stop pretending that Rutgers and Maryland are in their league right now...

I hope Johnny Football gets herpes.

I hope Johnny Football gets herpes.

Why? He is the most exciting player in college football and keeps you on the edge of your seat all the time

I really want UConn to be in a major conference, preferably the B1G, and I hope it happens by the end of 2017. Watching the mbb game last night in front of what I thought was 2,700 people made me sad. UConn is one of the top 10 all time mbb teams and they are playing in front of 2,700 people? This was one of UH marque home games and they draw flies, sad.

Rest assure to get through the next 3 years I have convinced myself 100% that Susan has a firm B1G invite in her hand, contingent upon acheiving AAU status and stadium planning. So for me its not a question of if , its a question of when.

The B1G is smart enough to realize that having strong flagship state schools, that dominate its state, will allow a conference to prosper over time. Give RU and Maryland four or five B1G years and their athletic prowess will increase measurable. The same holds true for UConn. I think the deal is done and the parties are waiting for UConn to achieve certain guideposts before its announced. Now how about that like?

You tell me that you are committed to the University of Connecticut Athletics Department past the calendar year 2017, and I'll hit you with TWO "likes"!

 

[NEforceUConn]

Thinking logically, now that i 100% believe Susan has a paper B1G invite then of course I am 100% committed to UConn forever. If my world is rocked in 2017 then (after a short stay at the Hartford Insitute of Living) I will rebuild.

I was watching him on the sidelines and he just seems so smug. I just get the feeling he thinks a bit too highly of himself. His off the field antics pretty much prove it to be true.

Very non-committal...

100% incorrect. In 4-5 years MD and RU will be totaling 8 wins between them in football and I don't think recruits will be lining up to get their nuts kicked in by the PSU/OSU/UMs of the world.

exactly Matt...why stay home and get pummeled by those teams when you can play for them play at home 2x in your career and be with-in driving distance for your family every week.

You honestly think a top recruit is going to come here while having scholly's for Rutgers and/or Maryland in 4-5 years? What makes you think that? The AAC is that much more appealing to you that you think these kids are going to want to come here?

When Rutgers goes 3-9, 4-8, 3-9 the next 3 years and we win the AAC in year 3 under Diaco and go to a major bowl, I like our chances with our recruiting NJ and against Rutgers recruits.

How are we all of a sudden going to win the AAC? And why is Rutgers going to underperform in the BIG? If a recruit has the opportunity to be on television more times in one conference than another, not to mention the quality of opponents that they will be facing is superior in said conference, why would he choose us?

Giving our current record, it is not a given that UCONN will win this abomination of a conference. The only thing that is a given is Rutgers and UCONN share recruiting territories and one school is in a conference where the competition is greater and the national exposure is easier. All this other stuff where UCONN is in 3 years vs Rutgers is hypotheticals and blind faith.

You can't reason with him.

I agree as I like our chances as well, because losing in the Big Ten is worse than winning in the AAC, period.

I agree. Thank god I am convinced that Susan has that contingent B1G invite in hand so I do not have to consider those salient points that you made concerning the future in 3 years.

Anyone else reminded of that old Lone Ranger joke? The one that ends "Whaddya mean we, kemo sabbe"?
