Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 2106671, member: 4"] Guys, can we ratchet back the outrage? If there is/was any anger at SU's refusal to schedule a game, Stewie herself got to take it out on them last season. Here's the full quote, by the way: [I]Before the 2015-16 season, Auriemma said Connecticut asked Syracuse to schedule an early season nonconference game in the Carrier Dome. SU said “No,” Auriemma said Sunday. The topic arose Sunday when Auriemma was asked whether he missed the Big East rivalry of Syracuse and Connecticut, which goes back decades. “We tried to schedule,” Auriemma said, “but (SU) wasn’t very accommodating when we wanted to play them. We said we’ll come up and play you guys and they said no. We don’t ask twice. We ask once … It doesn’t bother me. People say no all of the time. Everybody’s got to make their own schedule the way they want to make it, to make their program they way they want to make it. “Our nonconference schedule is the best in the conference. There’s nobody we won’t play. We’ll play anybody, anywhere. Well play at midnight. I don’t care. If you play us, you’ll be on national television.[/I]” Lordy, there are times when I think I took the time machine back to the old Summitt.
