Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
Nice addition to the 2025 schedule. Still hopeful we can add 1 more opponent for the 2024 season as we currently have 2 bye weeks on the schedule.
GO BIG BLUE!

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
Probably won’t be an FBS team as the only program with an opening is Hawaii. It does line up with our open date but I doubt they want to fly out to Hawaii then go right back on the road the following week.

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
UCONN doesn't excite me very much. Hopefully better teams down the line.

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
If UConn helps us get to 6 wins in the fall of 2025, then I am for it. With 6 wins, bowl eligibility is possible if not enough teams achieve 6 wins that season.

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
I didn't have to Google, "Where is UConn" and their mascot isn't a Camel named Gaylord, so I'm happy.
Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
I’ll place a call to South Bend or Columbus and see what I can do.
GO BIG BLUE!

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
I would say, probably not for a while one I’m certain they’re not trying to get their butts kicked immediately maybe have a chance to win some of these other games otherwise we’ll never have a chance at a bowl game if we don’t start winning some games . Also, many FBS teams have their schedules made out five years from now already things change, but getting super large Programs to come here just not gonna happen. I would say we’re more likely going to get the UCONN UMass. Maybe Army or Navy type thing. We will see remember we are the new fish in the pond.

Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS
Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
Sheesh, some folks aren't happy with anything. 
As Udf1 said, our schedule has DSU and UConn at home, and Wake Forest and Colorado away. That is WAY better than the dreck we've have on the docket recently.
UConn is a chance at FBS wins (something many folks should be hoping we get a lot of). 4.5 hours away...closer than UNH and Maine...and UMass...just about the same to Albany. It is a familiar foe from some of the good ol' days. It also means we don't have to sacrifice ourselves for another money game and we don't have to pay to bring them to the Tub (as we will with our yearly OOC FCS opponent). Not the greatest city in the world...but there are things to do in the area. And, it gets us one extra home game versus another road payout.
It is a win-win series for everyone as we make our transition to the big leagues, and if it can get us into a Bowl game, then yee-haw!
We all know UMass will also be in the mix in the future...just a mater of time.

Re: Home and Home Set with UCONN
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the NCAA has a proposal on the table to make 5-7 teams bowl eligible. If adopted, it would rule out a 2nd year FBS team getting a waiver to play in a bowl game AND unless they add bowl games, 6-6 G5 teams may also be left at home for 5-7 P4 teams with big fan bases.Caldwell Chicken wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 12:02 pm If UConn helps us get to 6 wins in the fall of 2025, then I am for it.
