  1. When we snagged him from WKU, I think it was in the contract we had to setup a game with them. Too bad it wasn't the same thing in this situation. Would like some pay back from the Sun Bowl.
  2. No, but they have been playing AAC opponents in recent years. UConn a few years ago, UCF last year, Cincy this year, and SMU next year. Want to continue the trend.
  3. Michigan has openings beginning 2022. Time to finally make that happen. Just saying
  4. Anyone here anything on schedules for future opponents? Seems like this summer would have been a good time to do it. I see GT and Temple just signed home and home. We have an opening for 2019, 2021 (2 openings), 2022, 3 openings in 2023, and more. Some of these other teams are scheduling games 10 years out (I think it was Wisconsin and UCLA)
  5. Did any of the true freshman actually play? I didn't get to see the game.
  6. We also beat Northern Illinois in IL, Elon in NC and UT-Martin in TN
  7. Appreciate this. I could not watch the game and now will watch the replay.
  8. DJ playing 3 positions could be a bit much. He is a good returner, but just increases the risk for injury. What do I know. There is a reason I am typing on the bullspen and not coaching.
  9. With that title it sounds like Puff Daddy bought the naming rights
  10. Maybe they should consider running a discount on season tickets at the end of this month to increase sales if they don't increase as expected. A big turnout would be great.
  11. http://www.baynews9.com/content/news/baynews9/sports/article.html/content/news/articles/bhsn/2017/6/29/hillsborough_footbal.html The bottom of this article says that Strong is pushing for new indoor practice facility. Would be nice
  12. Does ESPN3 make the call to switch to 4pm? That does not seem right. This is nuts.
  13. Found this on Bleacher report http://www.theuconnblog.com/2017/5/13/15634424/notre-dame-join-acc-network-football-uconn-huskies-conference-realignment-undefeated-against-nd Tim Brando of Fox Sports has reported that Notre Dame is having conversations about joining the Atlantic Coast Conference for football. Already a member in all other sports, the Fighting Irish would become the 15th full-time member if this were to happen. Should the ACC be looking for a 16th, surely the University of Connecticut would be a leading candidate. The conference has already announced plans to launch a television network in 2019, a move which seems to be a necessity to keep up with the NCAA’s other major conferences. Currently, the Big 10, Pac-12, and SEC have their own networks and are slated to rake in massive revenue gains as a result. In a world where cable network revenues are declining, live sports has emerged as the some of the most commercially viable programming out there because of its DVR-proof nature. ESPN’s highly-publicized financial woes shouldn’t affect the ACC network’s development. With a rabid, regionally relevant fan base and multiple successful, high-profile athletic programs, UConn would provide a full slate of programming assets across the academic year guaranteed to draw great ratings and keep subscribers from the highly-coveted New York City market through the #30 Hartford-New Haven DMA and into Boston. Heck, UConn’s women’s basketball program has been drawing larger audiences than NBA teams. Along with its excellent academic reputation, our fairest white and blue would appear to be the snuggest fit of any school available if the ACC looks to the “Group of 5” to even things out after adding Notre Dame. The ACC may even see UConn’s greatest weakness in the realignment beauty pageant, tackle football, as less of a factor given the new variables involved. As Husky fans know all too well, however, it is never this cut and dry. First of all, nothing may come of these reports. But even if Notre Dame does join in full, UConn is hardly a shoe-in. UConn may have the best résumé, but will also have opposition from within the ACC. Remember, and never forget, they wanted UConn instead of Pittsburgh but BC was able to successfully block the move by campaigning the conference’s football powers against it. The leadership at BC did it to protect their regional turf. This time around, Syracuse and Pittsburgh may feel the same way and for all we know Duke or UNC may be hesitant to throw a lifeline to a potential hoops powerhouse. Additionally, the ACC could snag a 16th member from elsewhere in the “power five,” such as an Oklahoma or Texas from the vulnerable Big 12. It is still so very early, but these are not the tweet thread ramblings of anonymous, oddly-named Twitter accounts. Notre Dame wants better access to the College Football Playoff and joining the ACC accomplishes that. The money may even be a secondary issue, believe it or not. The UConn Blog has long postulated that this is one of the strongest possibilities for the Huskies should a P5 invite emerge. We’ll be sure to monitor this situation as it develops
  14. Pretty awesome that a Non power-5 school has made it to the final 2 years in a row. Hopefully Gonzaga wins tonight. I wonder if the NCAA cares about this or maybe its basketball and don't care as much?
  15. Hows our attendance this year with the winning streak? Any noticeable difference?
