To have it on a weekendAnd not the last game against USF?
Sorry in advance for my ignorance (I spend almost all of my time on the men's board).
Interesting. Has Geno always done it that way? I know the men do it the last home game (which is always at Gampel) no matter if it is a weekend or weeknight.To have it on a weekend
Not sure on the past. Also not 100.0% sure on my reason - that's what some other women's board posters said a while back.Interesting. Has Geno always done it that way? I know the men do it the last home game (which is always at Gampel) no matter if it is a weekend or weeknight.
Also, thanks for your quick response.
You just PO a lot of folks on the men's board with this one. You may want to go with something other than ignorance next time.And not the last game against USF?

I'm ignorant when it comes to Geno's Senior Day traditions. I don't think that will piss off any of my brethren over the men's boardYou just PO a lot of folks on the men's board with this one. You may want to go with something other than ignorance next time.
It varies, but, there seems to be a preference for a weekend game, so the families can travel without missing work or school - there also seems to be a preference for Gampel over Hartford, so the student presence is greater. And, perhaps a preference for daytime games as opposed to weeknight.I'm ignorant when it comes to Geno's Senior Day traditions.

Yes but all three games are at Gampel.I thought the seniors chose where. Maybe they have an option about when.
And not driven by the emotion of Sr. Night which can cause some ragged play.It's also possible that Geno wants his starting five intact for the game versus South Florida. However, that is most likely a secondary issue.
You're spot on on your reason, it's easier for parents and family members to attend on weekends as opposed to weekdays and most schools have their Senior Night on weekends even if they have Home games left on the schedule. Temple had their Senior Night, the night of the UConn game, because they knew that would be their best attended game of the season, even though it wasn't a weekend. They set an attendance record that night.Not sure on the past. Also not 100.0% sure on my reason - that's what some other women's board posters said a while back.
I would think most Huskies fans would be happy it's the Saturday game. The South Florida game is on ESPN2, and there's zero chance that they would show the ceremony, whereas SNY is showing it.
