Big East Schedule

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I get regular emails from Seton Hall about ticket purchases but not phone calls.  Perhaps you ordered by phone and your friends didn't?

CT - I purchased on Ticketmaster.  I get e-mail on Prudential Center events ever since.  You're phone call from Seton Hall athletics may be coming!

It appears that we are not even the #3 tenant.  If Monster Jam and Disney have dates set prior to us, wouldn't they be considered to be a higher priority over MU?

I'd classify special events differently. The Bulls and Blackhawks get kicked out of the UC for the Circus Trips every year, but I hardly think anyone would consider Barnum and Bailey to be a primary tenant over them.

Villanova jumped the gun, so we know two games-

at Nova 1/13
vs. Nova 2/27

I think this is good. By 2-27 I expect us to be good enough to beat Villanova at our place, so I could see us going 1-1. Flip the home and away game and I see us going 0-2.

I'd like to play Villanova 4 times this year. And I'd be okay with 1-3 as long as we won the last one.

We open the Big East season at Georgetown on January 2.

Is Seton Hall not in the Big East anymore?

Or were you talking home game?

Bizarre...read the article first and then posted. It said the tipoff marathon was January 2. Though if they continue to implode like last season, SHU may not be in the Big East anymore

Wow -- Villanova with a rare doubleheader to close the season...

"The FOX broadcast network will televise Georgetown at Villanova and then either Marquette at Butler or Creighton at Villanova."

That'll need to be a quick flight.

So if I blindfold myself in the center of Philly and walk out in a random direction, I only have a 75% chance to end up in a bad neighborhood!? Sign me up!

Well if you head east you'd go into the river and if you went west you'd go into the other river before hitting the bad part of town. The point is the main part of the city is really nice and lots of fun.

Good news for those of you frightened of a trip to Philly:  the game is not in Philly, it is on campus, which is in a neighborhood more akin to the North Shore of the Chicago area than to Englewood.

I'm not sure to be glad because it may be a cool environment for the game or disappointed that they don't think MU is a big enough draw for downtown.   I can tell you that there is not a bad seat in the house.

Either way, looking forward to a nice visit with Ms. Legs Jr. (also a little disappointing that it is right after xmas break, but the BE didn't consult me (again) before making the schedule)

You're pretty much asking for trouble if you blindfold yourself in any major city and walk out in a random direction....

Actually, that's true just about anywhere. I grew up in the suburbs, right around Hartland. But while we never worried about crime (parents never locked the doors) if you blindfolded yourself and walked in a random direction at my house, there was a 75% chance you'd end up walking into a lake, a swamp, or traffic.

I've driven to 35th and Center in Milwaukee many a time.  I've come back every time.

Try driving on the east side of Chicago.  I guarantee you aren't coming back.

[Dawson Rental]

Yeah, but I got in one little fight and my mom got scared.

So you hang with guys named Carlton.  Can't say I'm surprised.

There actually is an "east side" other than the lake -the neighborhood known as East Side is at around 106th and the lake.  It will be interesting to see how it changes as the new development goes in over the next 20 years on the former US Steel Southworks site just north of it.

Pretty cool neighborhood, actually.
