UCONN beat Dook 2x in the Natl Champ game, both times as underdogs (99 and 04), personally sparing me a great deal of angst.

We may be talking about Dook along side UCLA now if not for UCONN.

For this reason (and a shout out to Louisville and Never Nervous Pervis too in 86), UCONN is cool by me. 04-cheers

UCONN played Georgia Tech in the 04 championship game. The Dook game was in the Semis.

We actually beat Duke in the Final Four in 04 and then beat GT in our sleep in the championship...

In '99, UConn beat Duke in the NC game.

In '04, UConn beat Duke in the semis. Then we beat Georgia Tech in the NC game.

But thanks for your thoughts. 04-cheers

Wow ... that was corrected fast (the last three posts).

Join the ACC for all sports but football. Get 5 guarunteed football games a year against ACC teams or Notre Dame. Eligible for acc bowls except the orange bowl.

RE: UConn's Trump Card
Why do some people spell UConn as UCONN? That's obnoxious looking. Is there a reason for it?

Their brand was never hotter than when the big realignment shifts of 2011-2012 were happening, and it didn't help them then ... doubt it will in the future.

Yes. The school markets itself as UCONN, not UConn. Therefore, although I agree that "UCONN" is obnoxious, it is the correct form.

We can type "Yukon" if that will make Marge feel better. 04-cheers

Well I've seen plenty of girls that were a "6" at 11pm (2011) but became 9.5s at 2am (2014).

Thing is, with these GoR's, I don't see any P5 being put in desperation mode due to raids by other P5. So you're going to have to look great at 11 PM to get promoted. :)

That really isn't a bad idea. I'm not sure the ACC would go for it though. UConn doesn't travel well to bowls so I'm not seeing how they are an asset like Notre Dame was.

UConn could try to alternatively join the BE in basketball and go independent in football. They could schedule Army, Navy, BC, Temple, Syracuse and throw in 1 for 1's with a few MAC schools like Buffalo and Akron. This way they avoid having to take their football program all over the country as they would in the AAC.

Syracuse and BC would never schedule Uconn.

True. UConn is just a giant pain in the ass to Syracuse & BC. They want UConn to just fade away (BB & FB).
