Because why depress yourself any further before it's absolutely necessary? It's February and there's 3 1/2 feet of snow on the ground and by the time September rolls around, everyone involved is still 0-0. Finally, the consequences of a loss occurring in a game played in over six months from now are quite frankly just too depressing to contemplate.I'm still not so sure why everyone is so sure we have to beat Nova just because they are FCS. If you rank all of the opponents they are not the worst team.

I've set up a Chiefs game the same weekend as the Mizzou game. Will be fun no matter what.
Chin Diesel said:UConn has lost the last game played against every team on the schedule. Overconfidence shouldn't be an issue.
In the prediction thread, I put UConn's best case scenario at 7-6 (bowl game loss), but they need 7 regular season wins to make a bowl. I don't think mere bowl eligibility makes the cut in the AAC. However I can just as easily see 4-8.All I'm saying is we could lose to Nova and still win 5 or 6 games. People act like if we don't we will be staring at 0-12.
Holy puck Batman this must be a hockey thing! A season and a half is an era....This when starting from scratch??? We all have opinions I guess....Against this schedule there is enough talent to win 10 games. We won't come anywhere near that and spend the entire season wondering why.
Gimme Nova and Army or else. I expect losses at BYU and Missouri. The Navy game should tell us the state of the program if we make it that far.
Win those three and a bowl bid becomes a strong possibility. Lose any one of those first two and it's time to rethink the Diaco era.
From a quick look it seems that every AAC team minus Navy only has one BYE. Is that something being done intentionally? Last year we had three and I thought that was the most we'd ever had. I thought we usually had 2. I can dig the one BYE week. Hated having three BYE weeks that always coincided with a disgusting loss.

Looks like I will have a second opportunity to try to put together a boys weekend to New Orleans to catch UConn play Tulane. Hopefully, 5 years from now, we'll be talking about a bi-annual trip to State College PA and periodic road trips to Ann Arbor, Madison, Minneapolis, etc.
When used in the manner above, Internet is a proper noun in order to distinguish it from generic inter-networks (e.g. Dedicated network connecting multiple inter-company office space locations). It is capitalized.Little known fact for the day. Biannual and semiannual both mean twice a year. Biennial means every 2 years.
Now you, too, can be the guy that corrects people's word choices when they never asked you to. Especially on the internet.

Sorry, but you got my mistake wrong. I actually meant to say on them internets.When used in the manner above, Internet is a proper noun in order to distinguish it from generic inter-networks (e.g. Dedicated network connecting multiple inter-company office space locations). It is capitalized.
