UConn

Postby eagle9903 on Mon Oct 05, 2015 9:37 am

Someone tweeted that we're playing UConn at home in the second week of the 2016 season.

rktbrkr is probably excited, eepstein has micropenis.

If true, Bates and Daz need to cancel the Eagle Walk that day for the safety of the players and coaches. I'm not joking.

This will also be the one time I encourage an increased presence of brownshirts.

I just hope he gets started on it now. Is he a procrastinator? There's nothing ADs hate more than hearing from your coach that he has an assignment due the night before a game that's been on the schedule for almost a year. And now you've got to go to the store after dinner and buy a bunch of fudgesicles, and you have to get the hot glue gun out of the closet and help him with it....

The worst. Ugh.

i hope they remember glitter for the poster. getting back home without the glitter would be a real kick in the pants and they probably wouldn't realize it until the craft store was closed.

NOT TO MENTION, you show up with everything done and some jerk ESPN3 commentator is implying that Diaco had help on it because it's just a little "too put together" to have been done by a coach all himself.

Meanwhile, you know that asshole AD at Georgia Tech had like half the engineering department helping out little Paul Johnson on HIS trophy for the Georgia game, but no one says shit.

Such bullshit. It's stuff like this that causes your AD to drink a bottle of Pinot Grigo every night.

NIU is first week 2017. This schedule is going to suck. Uconn is Maine who will probably just bring more delusional fans

On Blaudscum's blog post about the possible BC-UCONN game, there was this comment:

"This makes so much sense. To the extent you had any influence on this Mark, thank you for pushing what will be true rivalry games, especially between BC and UConn , who have little love for each other–just the type of ingredient that feeds both fan bases. This has all the makings of KY vs Louisville or Clemson vs South Carolina. I also love the round robin aspect. This helps fill all three stadia, and gives local fans a reachable destination game to enjoy the passion of college football in New England. Well done, all of you."

i love how he is giving blaudschun credit for making this happen, a guy who has no contacts inside of BC (except somehow has Bates cell # which is returned with a generic no decision message) and is just throwing click bait BS against a wall. Here is an excerpt from his latest pile of crap ...

There has been some internal pressure at BC to have the Eagles kick off their season each Labor Day weekend (on a Thursday night) against either UMass or UConn.

That move would then allow the notoriously placid BC fans to attend the football game AS WELL as spend Labor Day weekend in various other non-football activities.

For Boston College, the scheduling formula is also fairly simple. Schedule two non conference games against UMass and UConn each season, pick up another FCS (presumably a New England school) for a third opponent and then find the most attractive Power 5 conference school as the fourth non-conference opponent.

A future non-conference schedule which would include UMass, UConn, Maine or New Hampshire or URI and say, a Michigan or a Stanford, would be a much easier sell on a season ticket package than this year’s schedule which included Maine, Howard, and Northern Illinois.


I dont think Bates will be able to get away with having UMass and uconn on hte schedule together, he is going to have to much backlash

I love the line about "all the makings of UK-Louisville and Clemson-South Carolina". Yeah, right. All the makings, except for fans, tradition, and relevance. Nobody in our fanbase gives a rat's ass about UCONN other than the whalepants. With UK-Louisville and Clemson-South Carolina, it is everything to those fans and the rivalries trickle down into the workplace and other aspects of day-to-day life. UCONN is a MAC-level program and bigger dumpster fire than we were in the Spaz years.

I would argue that even the whale pants could give a shit. There is no history of playing uconn at a competitive level in football and outside of the lawsuit/ACC stuff, there is no connection to that university besides proximity. I actually read a post on the tard yard that said BC/Uconn were academic peers and both had "ELITE HOCKEY" so this made so much sense.

In the end, if this happens, its going to be a 1 off game/series and wont gain traction. I dont want to play uconn, but if im looking at this from 10,000 feet, its just an easy win versus one of hte worst teams in the country. It will be interesting to see if Diaco even lasts at uconn, they're staring down the barrel of another 2-10/3-9 season and they have already proven to have a short leash in re: to Pasqualoni.

Yeah, you're probably right. UCONN is only meaningful to the whalepants if it's hoops. I just don't get how some in the media think this is such a great OOC game. Playing UCONN is no different than playing Temple or Buffalo, and a slate of UMASS, UCONN, and 2 FCS schools is not going to take the heat off Bates and his crappy scheduling. It would be nice to get a Big Ten team on the schedule like Iowa or Nebraska seeing as how they play a similar brand of football.
