UConn Looking to Start a H/H Series at Home

[J187Money]

He is allowed in the house? Basement (cellar) only I hope

To be fair - wasn't his fault (or choice) - he needed the hours and interning with a prominent D1 program goes a long way. So I made an exception.

Will be more of the same in grad school - when he ends up at Florida, Vandy or Northwestern interning with one of their teams.

Fun Home and Homes: note no current blue bloods

Texas
Baylor - double header with the women
Michigan
Indiana
Tennessee - can tie it into a double header
LSU - (if they aren't on probation by then)
Gonzaga
UCLA - need to see Cronin implode on the sidelines again
Notre Dame - no double header

My son interned at BC (for the Hockey team) last fall. I have to say I don't love him wearing BC gear around the house.

My son is going there for his Phd starting next year. I made him promise me 2 things. No BC gear and he can't root for any of their athletic teams. He said deal.

At this point give me Illinois. Kofi, Curbelo, now looking like Mac is an Illinois lean. We can’t keep letting them take our leans from our territory.

Georgia or Georgia Tech for purely selfish reasons.

And lots of great players to be recruited, a la Ricky Moore and Jeremy Lamb. In fact, Jeremy's hometown of Norcross seems to be a hotbed of very good players in at least the past decade.

Give me a Duke home and home. This needs to finally happen. How is it with our history against them that has never happened???

Because of Boston College and then FSU and Clemson

Duke doesn’t play OOC road games. Ever.

The major factor I want to see in a new H/H is what will give us visibility in a recruiting hotbed. What area of the country is developing the most D1 talent and we aren't being seen there. The game must also be with a high visibility opponent to draw interest. UCLA gets us into SoCal, USF gets us to FL. Gonzaga in the PacNW.

Only neutral site games and conference challenges where they'll go on the road every other year. UConn tried to start a H/H series with Duke and was offered the game they played in NJ in December 2014.

If duke wants to plays us at MSG in the future we should take it.

True, I forgot Penn State has a basketball program.

They said they wouldn’t play each other unless they’re forced to in a tournament
