Might as well throw in that UConn's been home for a month and now they're in the American Athletic Conference. Yes, it's been quite a month.
AA is fitting for them.
They'll be at a meeting -
Connecticut: Hi, my name's Connecticut, but I'm a safety school and our students can't spell "Connecticut," so everyone just calls me Yukon."
Tulane et al: Hi Yukon.
Connecticut: Yeah, I really don't know why I'm here.
Tulane et al: <laughter>
Connecticut: ...
Tulane et al: <more laughter>
Connecticut: But yeah, I mean, we beat Syracuse this year.
Memphis: In football?
Connecticut: Uh no. But before this year we beat them a lot. Even won the Big East.
UCF: Outright?
Connecticut: No.
Everyone: <laughter>
Connecticut: But we played Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, and that was just two years ago. And we won the basketball championship in 2011. And our women's basketball team is in its sixth straight Final Four. And I just don't know what I did to be here. I mean Syracuse and Pitt at least have some history in football. And since college basketball started competition in 1990 they've both been ok. Not Yukon good, but not Rutgers either. And WVU has had a nice football team, at least since I realized that football was played at the collegiate level in 2002. But Louisville? And RUTGERS?!
Connecticut: uncontrollable sobbing. Hugs Rebecca Lobo body pillow.
Things get uncomfortable for the rest of C-USA, I mean the AAC, quickly and everyone gives Yukon some alone time with its past stars as the uncomfortable reality that it will be devoid of future stars sets in.
