Why are we scheduling this trash football program. We win it's no big deal. We lose and tumble farther into abyss.

 

[RaiderDawg78]

It would be laughable if it wasn’t our AD sticking it to the remaining fans.

Fire Massaro.

Do we get any basketball games in return for this, mens or womens?

 

[FranklinRaider315]

Two consecutive road games AT UConn?
Must be two hellacious paydays. That’s the only justification I can see for doing this. How many Blue Raider faithful are gonna make this trip in back to back years? I guess these are prolly gonna be like a bowl game to the Admin official party, staff and team.

In no way shape or form can a reasonable person defend this. This is busch league to the core. I'm hoping details come out about a payday or a home basketball game.

Don’t ask that. I asked the same thing when the first part of this deal was announced and was told by some on here that we should be happy with the deal because UConn is beatable and we leveraged the deal as much as we could.

We should be happy with playing 5 home games and playing UConn on the road 2 seasons in a row.**

Maybe it was part of the deal for uconn to play mississippi? MT keeps the money and plays at uconn twice.

 

[SpaceRaider]

Hope UCONN is writing MT a nice check for the 2021 game. For scheduling like that, we are not much better off than the New Mexico State Aggies in their vagabond FBS existence. That choice speaks poorly of AD Chris Massaro. If we are getting only a return game after 2022, we got a raw deal!!

I do not see a return game anywhere.

So in 2021 we have three away game out of conference and not one is a real pay day. You have to wonder what is being done for revenue because I don't see ticket sales increasing anytime in the near future.

The admin doesn't care. By then they will be well on their way to retirement giving us the finger on the way out.

 

[SubwayAlumni]

here's a highly theoretical question- say they do have to do a return game for basketball, would you want UCONN mens or womens team to come to the boro?

The Three Stooges and their circle jerk of contract extensions are going to deplete our fanbase so bad we will be lucky to still have an NAIA team by the time they are gone.

 

[mtfblue]

Maybe he applies to be App State's AD and takes Stock with him.

I am crying from laughing. My assistant thinks I’ve lost my mind.
