UConn placed ad in Dallas newspaper

[Marat]

I came across scanning the SMU message board. Apparently UConn placed the below ad in the Dallas printed newspaper (Monday) Guess that's a message out the Big 12.

Do you think this really is bulletin board material as Borges proposes?

Didn't see this posted the other day. I like it. .... don't think it is really bulletin board material.

I do.
I love the ad. I hate the timing, as far as amping up and already amped game. Guaranteed that if SMU wins you will hear something about that ad as being motivation in the post game. Id bet my life on it.

Not really. Doesn't really matter either. It's senior night for SMU and they're gonna want revenge from the game in Hartford. And we're UConn so we always have a target on our back. The only way you can add fuel to the fire is if you called out one of the players.

This is most certainly conference realignment related. I wouldn't worry about the in game implications with SMU.

If we cant figure out a way to win a Big game against a motivated opponent we may as well not play in the post season at all. I think its perfect timing.

Aren't they excited to be back in Texas where they beat the Longhorns by 5 and Houston by 12?

Does anyone read the newspaper any longer?

Thursday is SMU superbowl. The atmosphere will be electric and will tell a lot about what type of team UConn is. Will they fight or lay down and die

Here's our bulletin board material:

(from the SMU board)

#19 In looking closely at the picture in the ad, it seems the majority of the trophies shown are for their women's teams. I wonder which team is going to
show up here on Thursday???

...
#20 I hope it is the men. We need a win.

 

[Horatio]

I'd be more comfortable with this if we could finish games better.

 

[TasteofUConn]

#20 I hope it is the men. We need a win.

Ouch. But a great slam, well played pony.

 

[Kitaman]

I just wish our record was better including in-Conference to add to the ad.

 

[GemParty]

San Antonio, Houston, North Texas. Three of our four Greatest games in school history. Enough said.

I'm not convinced this wasn't @Dooley

2-0 in Texas so far this year, lets make it 3-0 Thursday.

Dom Amore jumps on the "this is bulletin board material" train.

Yeah only 4 are men's basketball, and all in the last 17 years, so I guess it's fair for them to talk smack. Oh when did Duke change it's name to SMU, because they are the only other team that is in the same stratosphere as us.

Entirely CR related. Don't see any issue with it and the timing is all about the expansion meetings going on around Big 12 country, so we are taking advantage of the game to promote the school. The game was the exuse but this is all about advertising UConn.

Eh, em where they live.

Which is fine, and needs to be done and I would be 100 percent for if an NCAA tournament bid wasnt literally on the line.
