UConn vs (s)Pitt starting up again?

[Tenspro2002]

Pitt would be a nice second-tier OOC game along the lines of Stanford or Washington.

Playing them does nothing for maintaining our national brand, like games against Duke, Texas, Florida, and Ohio State accomplish.

Correct me if I am wrong here- was'nt the president of Pitt the head of the BE committee that was supposed to be looking out for all our interests at the time Pitt made the decision to leave ( because of football)? That is like driving a bus intended for a certain destination and then taking it somewhere else when the passingers are sleeping in the back.

You are right but if UConn were in the same position we would have jumped too. Hard for me to blame any team with a Di. 1 football program for leaving a doomed conference.

Read my post for some distinctions.

If you think Pitt just "jumped," I suggest you go do some research.

Yes we need to beef up our ooc. schedule but not with them. We can do better. Basically I don't know squat how you but a schedule together but I'm guessing there are quite a few top 30-50 which Pitt is now that would want to play us. Sure we want to play 1-10 as much as possible and we need those games and the 2nd tier good programs but dam I despise Pitt and those oranges.

I'm being persuaded to the no Pitt. side.

Any game that puts us in the national spotlight is good for the program. Frankly, I saw Pitt as much more of an archrival than Syracuse.

Could have been a bigger rivalry with Cuse than it was...The NCAA tourney was lined up nicely for some Cuse/UCONN matchups over the years, but alas, Cuse didn't hold up their end of the bargain.

You must be young.

I'm not crazy about playing Pitt. Last time we played them I was hoping would be the last time.

I hate their style of play. with With that said, and being stuck in the AAC, it's good to establish as many relationships with programs from the big 5 conferences.

I prefer other programs, but I don't know how difficult it has been to find dance partners that will schedule home-and-home series.

When was that?

You guys sound like a bunch of losers with this "they don't deserve to play us" garbage.

Yeah, playing our second best rival of the past decade, who is always ranked is beneath UConn somehow.

Bring on more matchups with no historical relevance, that'll show em!

we sound like the BC football douches when we talk like that.

Maybe we would like to see the Rock return some past favors.
