UConn Football Schedule

[Bayside44]

4 Hrs if you drive the speed limit

I know they've flown before.

Perhaps. How will they be in 8-10 years when these games get played?

Good question. But keep in mind, UConn won’t be able to survive too many years as an independent in football. They’re absolutely zany at UConn, as they should be, about its move to return to the Big East in basketball. But they need to find a suitable home for its football team. If it’s not in a conference that includes SU, it’s less likely that UConn will be playing SU often, if at all, in the future.

UConn needs to move football to the Patriot or CAA. Build a nice soccer/ football stadium on campus. Maybe about 8-12K seats.

The Rent needs to get an MLS team and call it a day.

I’m not advocating playing YuCon.

I’d rather open with UConn next year than Clemson, as has been rumored. But doesn’t appear that will happen. I see trouble if we open next year with road games at Clemson and Rutgers. A trip to Rutgers is by no means an automatic win for SU.

Syracuse will pound Rutgers next year. It won't even be close.

They've had 11 kids transfer out so far.
I would say we have about a 5% change of losing the game, so sure it's not "automatic".

I know this year has been rough to say the least, but we will NOT, I repeat, will NOT lose to freaking Rutgers next year

So it appears we open at Clemson??

 

[djorange1989]

Extremely likely yes

You’re going to be surprised. I won’t.

 

[Moontan]

It’s the only conference road team that has an open slot that weekend. It wouldn’t surprise me if it was another Thursday (or Friday) night game.

There was/is talk of doing some scheduling magic such that Syracuse would play at Yukon opening weekend and have Yukon play at WMU instead of SU going there.

Yeah, that was the talk. I was hoping we’d play UConn so we could possibly start the year 2-0. So much for that dream.

 

[Chris02M]

wonder if we could see some reshuffling since 5 teams are open on 9/5 and nobody wants a bye week there. Could we ask wmu to switch there colgate game to another date and open there on 9/5?

then you can have Clemson @ Georgia Tech and NC State @ Louisville

I certainly won't be surprised. You're gonna look back and say I was right.

I watched this year’s team and saw some of the worst performances I can recall. I don’t expect a sudden improvement next year. And as bad as Rutgers has been, it’ll still be a tough matchup for SU. We’d look just as bad in the Big 10.

I really don't think there will be a repeat of opening with conference games next season. I think it was a one-off to hype the ACCN. If the football coaches are anything like the b-ball coaches, it won't happen. The b-ball coaches were pretty universal in saying it was a really bad idea.

There really aren’t any other options right now unless SU is working on something. The OOC games are pretty much locked in.

They're in a world of hurt. The only public schools the Patriot has as members are Army and Navy and they don't play football in the conference. The CAA might not even want them because they already have 12 members for football.

I am not a doom and gloom guy but I will say that our record in the last decade or two against B1G teams is not good. Not good at all. Even against B1G programs that are not top notch.

We got the bowl game win against Minnesota and I think we beat Illinois not that long ago. But lots of losses.

Agree. Rutgers is in a bit of turmoil, lost a bunch of transfers and will have a new coach. I’d like to hope that the SU team that clobbered Duke shows up and not the one that got beat handily by Maryland.

It depends if we have film on them. if we do, we have a chance.

 

[CuseTroop]

Ughh that was going to be my big road game next year.. If we're playing them late August, I don't see it working out. What ACC, why the hell are we starting the season against conference opponents?
