[UConn Dan]

WOW.... what a loaded non-conference schedule!!

 

[UConnTrumbull]

I can’t explain it. But this makes me feel like Hurley is definitely staying. He just built a Herculean OOC schedule with a top 5 roster. I feel good.

WOW.... what a loaded non-conference schedule!!

But you know the OOC games in Htfd will be cupcakes.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Oh Yes! Finally! The series I've been waiting for since 1996 (or whenever the last one ended)!

 

[Lafayette]

I recall a Kansas H&H back in the 90s.... our home was at HCC or Gampel (forgot which) and we had Rip maybe was a freshman but held our own vs #1 Kansas for a half while the ladies demolished Kansas away.

It's interesting how we seem to be playing all Big 12 teams.

Of course I forgot Texas is now SEC.

My comment about the last KU game was focused on UConn fans showing up, going out in Lawrence and making an impression. I think we knocked it out of the park. That's got to be part of what the Big XII is considering in whether UConn is a fit. Will they show up?

Still a question in Stillwater, Ames, Manhattan, Waco etc.

Schedule is really shaping up to be a doozy next year!!

 

[Marat]

This is return trip to KS is a payback game for us. Lets get this W.

 

[LetsGoUC]

3 Big 12 teams on schedule....very interesting.

 

[boog204]

We've never beaten them. Would like to.

 

[husky99]

Lets go

Stop AD Dave, I can only get so erect!

What a schedule!

 

[CL82]

Oh Yes! Finally! The series I've been waiting for since 1994!

It will be a good series. Both programs have great tradition and enthusiastic fan bases. I'm looking forward to it.

I stole it from an Archer meme but didn’t want to post it and offend anyone. Although that’s never stopped others I guess.

I recall a Kansas H&H back in the 90s.... our home was at HCC or Gampel (forgot which) and we had Rip maybe was a freshman but held our own vs #1 Kansas for a half while the ladies demolished Kansas away.

That was the first game after Ricky Moore and Kirk King were suspended. We played Rip at point guard and he had 24 points and 8 assists. If I remember right, we jumped out to a big lead (maybe 22-7 or so) and crowd was going bonkers, but once Kansas fought back in it, we didn’t have enough big game moxie. Yet. A couple years later, we were well-moxied.

 

[Blue Blood]

Incredible work by the program has to be the best schedule we've ever had

 

[80shusky]

Maybe I get the plan now? Use a low major MTE to get to 31 games and then fill the rest with high majors? I like it.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

If anyone can get the time off this game is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. You can get a week off and easily travel back home on December 3rd and only have missed 3 days of work.

Wasn’t the game at Kansas on Super Bowl Sunday? I remember being so pumped for the day and we got absolutely annihilated.

 

[my2cents]

Why wouldn't this start at UConn since we just played them in Kansas?

that was part of Big 12 challenge not a home and home agreement + you want away now because OOC this year is stacked so you balance with year after

 

[Windham4th]

Mens and women's teams both played Kansas same day back to back on national TV if I remember correctly.

I recall being there. At the Civic Center. First game I remember as a kid. They hung with Kansas. Roy Williams in his heyday. Late 96/early 97 with Rip/Voskuhl/Freeman all as Freshman.

 

[Flipside]

Love it

Yes, and we tried to make that Illinois but they wanted one at MSG instead.
