Let’s go!
Think they dropped it a week after last yearAnd how long will it take the dopes to decide where the games will be?
I'm pretty sure they don't do it that way.Is it safe to assume that the teams we played at XL last year will be the teams we play at Storrs this year?
No. Still expect UConn to go the cash grab route and send most of the bigger games to XL. Maybe Nova or Creighton goes to Gampel.Is it safe to assume that the teams we played at XL last year will be the teams we play at Storrs this year?
Yeah cant see this administration sending away a 14k house for some of the big conference slates. Maybe they send one to Gampel tops.Is it safe to assume that the teams we played at XL last year will be the teams we play at Storrs this year?
I hope Oklahoma State, Buffalo, Nova, Creighton, Xavier and Providence are at Gampel. That is all.I hope Oklahoma State, Buffalo, Nova, Creighton, Xavier and Providence are at XL. That is all.
So every game that matters. I agree with you, by the way.I hope Oklahoma State, Buffalo, Nova, Creighton, Xavier and Providence are at XL. That is all.
Wouldn't count on it, pretty sure the Big East is still going to have their 6:30/8:30 double headersI'm all aboard for no 8:30 starts
8:30 works well for me. Just got the kids to bed and I'm good to go. At 6:30 I'm wrapping up dinner and trying to shepherd everyone upstairs.I actually kinda like the 8:30 tips. Just think they have to choose better opponents for those starts. Georgetown mid week at 8:30 makes zero sense.
Please limit the 6:30 starts!!
Just DVR so you can watch when you want and skip commercials8:30 works well for me. Just got the kids to bed and I'm good to go. At 6:30 I'm wrapping up dinner and trying to shepherd everyone upstairs.
I do that. I still just prefer to be watching it live.Just DVR so you can watch when you want and skip commercials
The 8:30 tips are nice. You don’t have to rush to Bidwell and can have an extra beer or 6.I actually kinda like the 8:30 tips. Just think they have to choose better opponents for those starts. Georgetown mid week at 8:30 makes zero sense.
Please limit the 6:30 starts!!
I still think we’ll put both Villanova and Providence at XL for monetary purposes.If they want to do it with some level of fairness they would split games based on tier of likely fan interest:
Tier 1: Nova / Providence
Tier 2: OK State / Creighton
Tier 3: Xavier / Seton Hall
Tier 4: St. John's / Georgetown
Tier 5: Marquette / Butler
Tier 6: DePaul / Buffalo
then it's all cupcakes from there, so if you had a theoretical:
XL: Nova, OK State, Xavier, St. John's, Marquette, DePaul
Gampel: Providence, Creighton, Seton Hall, Georgetown, Butler, Buffalo
That'd be a pretty fair outcome for season ticketholders at both venues. That's what i would define as 4 games of intrigue at both venues.
A lot of subjectivity in this, and no consideration for when games are played relative to school being in session but you get the idea. Hoping they do something like this (and praying for no 8:30 tips at Gampel unless it's a Tier 1 or 2 game.)
I suspect XL will get 3 of these 4 games. The athletic department is clearly scrambling for money this year.I still think we’ll put both Villanova and Providence at XL for monetary purposes.
