Look at Northeast football representing!!

 

[uconndogs]

If we can play an ACC Team, and beat them, this would strengthen our conference argument. The fact we’ve played other ACC teams so close has to be a factor they are considering. All those games were entertaining!

Honestly, I doubt it does anything for our conference hopes.

Maybe you are right.. But there’s always hope LOL…

I posted on this before but as much as have mixed feelings on the ACC - where it’s going and our history - and them about us - it does seem like perfect fit IMO for sports/academics.

 

[DoctorWho85]

We should all make every effort to be there, no matter who, when or where.

If I didn't have to use a bunch of my PTO for a surgery back in July, I'd 100% be at any game they were invited. Stupid me not planning ahead and wanting to be able to hear again out of my left ear.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Goes without saying, if we get Fenway or the Bronx...I'm there

It won’t do anything for us.

TBH I'd like to see Northern Illinois on the schedule more often than bowl games.

There's a lot more than 64. What does that do to our chances as an independent?

 

[Scrutineer]

If ESPN wants us and UNI then it just may happen. Good for us as we're staying in Myrtle Beach that night on the way to the sister-in-law's home in the Outer Banks!

 

[BugsyCT]

McMurphy now has us in the 68 Ventures Bowl vs. Arkansas St.

Won’t be FCS UNI Northern Iowa
NIU = MAC Northern Illinois

 

[Rich]

I want to see UCONN v Miami in the Pop Tarts Bowl. Mora v. Mario.

Make it happen.

 

[BlueWolf25]

CBS now has us in the Fenway Bowl against VA Tech. Very interesting that as the week has gone on, more and more people are projecting either Pinstripe or Fenway

NEBRASKA PLEASE.

We can kick Raiola's arse.

 

[Windham4th]

Pinstripe would be ideal because it can further prove to the conferences that we own a piece of NYC.

My oldest is a Jr at Tech. This would be a nuclear event in my household.

Also - Pop Watson, their 3rd string QB, just torched UVA. As a UConn fan, this would be a very tough matchup.

Now I am feeling old, if I wasn't already.

Which I am guessing you bought for yourself...

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

Given we’re an independent we keep 100% on the bowl payout right?

I think Fenway and Pinstripe are both in the $4M range. That’d be huge.

I think the Fenway Bowl is 1/2 of the Pinstripe Bowl payout but they keep it close to the vest. Still good $.
