Nah, Dan's on the right track here. UMass sports has badmouthed UConn long and loud for over 20 years to anyone who would listen. Why would you possibly want to help them out? Have some self respect. We sucked last year and still beat them by 5 touchdowns. Playing them once a decade is about right.
exactly. and heres the deal. hes doing several things.
1) hes making sure that his work there goes noticed so he can move on to the next job, and being so close to the uconn staff believe me he sees a opening soon. over my dead body btw, i'll go down in a war before that happens.
2) we ran train on umass with a bad fball team(or year really...). it was a very rude awakening for umass to what big boy fball is going to be like becuase they dont even consider us to be big time.
3)we have yet to set up any type of series. if i'm umass im begging for a 2-1 fball rent razor rent but also h/h in all other sports. i actually think thats fair and a good idea long term. it really pumps a rival up and we can crush them in fball and bball and there lax and puck can help us build and its easy close travel games for soccer and basball and so on...
but, umass is just starting out as a mac team. in the new college football world, rpi/sos numbers are going to start to matter a bit. were stuck in the nbe so we need the best bump we cna get. also factor in what the nbe looks like so there is no reason championships are not the goal right away. so we may see umass being a nd fcs team rpi/sos wise for a few years still as they build and not want them on the schedule yet until they are a average mac team. it may make more sense for akron and wm to be on the schedule until like 2015-18 when umass cna win a few games and be a layup but not a fcs layup.
4) we just inked that longterm deal already and becuase warde doesn't want to announce things yet, the umass coach is mad as hes always looking fo things to exciite and create fanbase wise with his young program. so he takes a shot at uconn as a hint to ppl.
if the answer to this is any of these, or anything else, then i want a piece of that piece of .
