UConn OOC updates

[upstater]

Good thing Eastern Washington is on your basketball schedule and not football.

Yeah, they are a powerhouse. Imagine what they'd do to PC's football team. UConn actually lost in football to EWU, then went on to beat some other teams you may have heard of. Oh, what's that? You don't follow football? Understandable.

Siena would be an upgrade to your schedule over ECU, Tulane and Tulsa.

With that reasoning in place, the NBE should drop S Hall and Depaul since their RPI is worse than both ECU and Tulsa & replace them with Siena.

The really crazy thing is that Friar makes fun of Tulsa, and this is what Tulsa has done in the NCAA tourney in the last 20 years:

Tulsa:
1 Final 8, 3 Sweet 16s
Record: 11-8

Providence:
1 Final 8, 1 Sweet 16
record: 3-4

Reached out to Amore about Kansas:

@AmoreCourant weren't there rumors of a Kansas series? Is that still on the table?

Dom Amore ‏@AmoreCourant 6m​

@tcf_15 // didn't hear anything on that today ... But it would make sense, obviously​

Did you check with Borges too? I don't recall which one of them had that Kansas rumor.

I'd ask 3 first.

I did reach out to Borges on Twitter, but he hasn't replied. Looks like it did come from him originally: http://borgesblognhr.blogspot.com/2013/06/uconn-could-be-seeing-lot-of-boston.html

Would much prefer UConn vs. Pc than BC especially if Cooley can get PC into the rankings.

Ed Cooley needs a hat.

 

[FriarJ]

You (PC) are on the wrong side of the tracks.

We aren't playing those Programs this year. Our current roster of Conference will be better than PCs. The Seton Hall & DePaul & PC (even Villanova) ... Will try to cling to the BE past. It's gone. We will raise our profile; UCF & SMU & Houston are outrecruiting you & the other lower tier BE programs as we speak.

We will be fine without you. Ollie will be a transcendant coach. One of the best transitions ever & we'll play at a level that you'll yearn for. We are the Program that Florida & Texas wants to play.

In regards to conferences, can I have what your taking?

You don't know how many other posts you have made on other subjects that I was going to write some hat reference!!!

Tulsa is impressive. You guys should pack the house when they are in town.

I love this! These guys just don't get that you are having friendly fun with them!

Today. PC has what they've desired (and spoken by the other Catholics). Be careful what you wish for.

It's NOT the Big East. The drama. The atmosphere of the BE will never be the same. PC is accountable for Humpty Dumpty.

Undeniably ... UConn is playing High Profile. Florida. Texas. Maryland. North Carolina want us. They're not really chasing Marquette. And definitely not PC. Undeniably, there is something interesting going on at 3 new conference foes. 95% of the Boneyard will bitch with you. But the future looks bright for some new names. I'm betting a downward trend for you. Villanova. Seton Hall. DePaul. Even Butler.

Eh, it'll be in Gampel maybe. I've never been to a UConn Providence game. Were those packed? They certainly didn't have much sizzle at all.

Georgetown fought hard to keep things together before Ville bolted. The remaining teams knew that UConn and Cinci were just waiting for an invite. I have nothing against the new BE!

It is true. I am not being facetious at all while I point out how underwhelming PC is.

And FriarJ is aware that PC hasn't proven itself. And he does like UConn. I like his attitude because he is not inflated with himself or PC! And hopefully some of the sensitive guys in this forum will see him the way ConnHuskBask see's him!

You missed out, they were always fun in all 3 arenas.

Pudge, there is a giant difference in what you want to happen, what has happened and what is going to happen. Your psychosis could use some professional help. Not that that's rare for these boards but your delusion is particularly scary.

You imagine we didn't understand the tenor. We did. some of us are just bored with it.

Then ignore him!

 

[DogMania]

Fluck Cuse! And Pitt! And ND. Have no gripes with any current BE teams even Gtown who fought like heck to keep things together.

Would love Kansas and Michigan State and Indiana!

I can understand your angst with those programs but you're being a tad short-sighted. Games against those programs would help in so many ways (TV exposure, $$$ and Recruiting). Consider it all the sweeter when we beat them.

Let me add one more thing. Keeping games alive against SU and Pitt and LU to that matter, keeps us on the forefront of the ACC power brokers in the event they decide to expand again.

Please suspend reason if you want to participate.

 

[Palatine]

I wouldn't mind playing PC. It would be their super bowl. So it would be an energized game. Travel costs would be very low, so it would make money and result in good regional press. PC might even win a few, they have always played us tough.

Come on Upstater, quit be a pissy pants. Maybe we can play each other in the NIT this year.

Hmmm, what is it about PC that makes me so pissy?
