Psyched that this is going to happen!

It's on!!!! Sounds like it will be on rivalry weekend in November as well.

Well done UConn.

This is a win for all three schools... UConn desperately needs a local rivalry and the big attendance gate will help when BC comes to town. Also the game at Gillette's every year is good for UConn.... play in a real stadium... fans will travel up...

For UMass.. they just need games.. this is more games.... and games that will draw.

BC has some major attendance woes for a P5...the UConn game will likely sell out on novelty from the UConn fans. The game in Gillette is great for BC for the same reasons as UConn (NFL stadium exposure, fans who don't usually go to Chestnut Hill will go...)

Ideally there'd be a fourth school involved in the series so that it could be rotational and help fill schedule with ideal opponents for all three schools.. however, logically there is no fourth FBS school in New England. Going forward, Army would be a great add, however (less than an hour from New England... competitive already with these schools). Rutgers would be another candidate but looking at their schedule in the future, I think they will be going away from this kind of scheduling (they have a "bad FCS, bad P5, bad G5" thing going on...although they have some better teams coming in in the future.)

Still not official but also being confirmed in this article.

This is a very short quote from the article.

Quote:Additionally, the Daily Hampshire Gazette reports that UMass and UConn will play four times in the near future: 2018/2020 on the road and 2019/2021 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough

Also per the Gazette, the 2016 UMass/BC game previously scheduled to be played at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill will be moved to Gillette with another game scheduled for 2018.

Look for additional details when the deal is made official, which according to Bamford, should be soon:

Forgot who said most of this earlier in this thread, but the FIU tie in is also mentioned.

Dude I'm spending almost two hundred thousand bucks to send my kid to UConn so I can call it whatever the **** I want

And dude this is not an English class okay this is an internet messaging board. I've been on this board for
too long

If I held the AD position for Army, we would play UConn, UMass, and Boston College every year.

People just don't like insults. It's just a grown up thing. Continue on.

Dude, I can call you out when I see fit for trying to disrespect the school regardless of how many "bucks" you or I have spent/donated.

Calling UConn Yukon is an insult get a life

I don't know if this has been verified but Hartford Courant sports reporter just told me via Facebook that yukon will play bc the next two years.
After that they're going to talk about it

They already signed for 2022 and 2023. Of course if the Thunderchickens get beat by the Huskies next year I can 100% see BCU "going to talk about it."

Hey at least they can buy the rest of the series out with all the money they are saving by having the lowest stipend in the P5.

If that's what douche bag Cuse fans call UConn and Huskies clearly don't like it, I'd say that's reason enough to not do it. It would be like ECU fans calling us EZU or butt Pirates.

This is 100% correct.

Stookey, can we agree that calling UConn "Yukon" is derogatory? Can you please refrain from doing it going forward? Husky fans would seriously appreciate it. If you won't change your ways on that one, you can't blame UConn fans for calling open season on you going forward. It is just a respect issue between fans.

If you aren't willing to do that for us Husky fans, can you at least then remove the reference in your profile about you rooting for UConn? People who root for UConn don't call it "Yukon"....ever.

Thanks!
