New non conference home and home

I could definitely see U-Conn if Diamond Stone heads there.

My best friend is a UL fan. We went to nearly every game between MU and UL from '96 to '13. MU I would think would be about 5th on the list of teams their fans would like to play annually in out-of-conference games, behind UK, Memphis, Indiana and Cincinnati. Being as there doesn't seem to be a great chance of series developing with Indiana and Cincinnati, it's not as far away as you think. MU is actually 3rd among major-conference opponents for UL in games played against them after Memphis and Cincy.

I'm going to hope (and assume) that we aren't creating our schedule based on what recruits from our area go where.

MU-ND at the United Center.  Get on it, MU admin.

This.

ND>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any other game.

So I see the double header today at the UC had reported attendance of about 19,700 (I'm assuming that means total tickets sold, since no attendance numbers are given for the OSU-UNC early tilt).
What do you think an MU-ND game would draw there in a year where, say, neither team was ranked?

10,000'ish

First off, you're a little rusty on your MU history if you lump UL with "others that aren't a decades-old tradition" with MU.  We've played them 69 times - more than all but a handful of opponents.  By comparison, we've played Illinois 14 times.  The only schools we've played more than UL are Wisky, ND, DePaul, Creighton, Detroit and Loyola.

While I'm sure we're way behind Kentucky and Indiana on UL's nonconference wish list, I'd argue that MU isn't as far behind as you think.  I suspect their fans would enjoy a renewal of the series.

Fair enough.

And I definitely would welcome a Marquette-Louisville series.

Speaking only for myself, however, I'd prefer an annual game against Notre Dame.

Interesting, supposedly Creighton scheduled a home and home with ASU starting next year as well.....
