Shizzle, I love your UConn enthusiasm, seriously.
Geography means jack squat now considering both the BIG and ACC expanded to the West Coast. ACC is the best fit culturally and geographically, but they clearly don't want us. MAC is close enough to be contiguous with CT, but many fans don't want affliation with it cuz it would be "dropping down". Man alive, we're towards the near bottom of FBS!! We can't be picky and have to get off our high horse.
Who is looking at our schedule and saying "damn, I wanna be at UConn cuz they play Pitt?" We have to play teams we have a chance at being competitive. Our BB, hockey, and baseball are able to hang with other teams, our football can't right now, doesn't mean it should always be that way. Even with wins against UMass or SHU, I doubt we climb higher than 120.
@ZooCougar keeps writing 132/133 cuz that's our reality. I hate it, but that number is real. Indy schedule is interesting, don't get me wrong, but it's doing nothing for the program.
