I think we'll survive with a toned down Al's Day.

Heresy!?!?!  Turn in your MU alumni card.

Monster Jam, Muppets on Ice, Badgers hockey, Mac Davis Live all had higher priority.

Mac Davis Live

Legend

Only 2 home games between January 15 and February 21. That'll be a quiet month at the Fiserv

Disney on Ice has one  weekend in February so I knew there would be no MU games then.

Mac Davis Live

Legend

He will be a bigger legend after his "Back from the Dead" tour.  Epic.

On a serious Al note: Next season is the 50th anniversary of the national runner up team.  Al will get his due.

Remember the good old days when players would have to be on campus when classes started, and that players would have to go through NCAA eligibility which could take months.

It's ridiculous that MU marketing can't have their Outlook/iCal/Google calendar feeds updated immediately as the schedule comes out.

They are busy creating game highlights and box scores from the Italy trip...

[Mu8891]

2 home games in 5 weeks ?

( followed by 3 home games in a week)

WTF ?

It’s amazing that MU is not even treated like a 2d class citizen at the FF.  More like a problem stepchild…

[brewcity77]

Overall, some positives, some negatives to the schedule.

• I like opening with Providence. No students in a historically tough building against a team that may need time to gel is good.
• Don't like having 3 home games and 2 road games with students away.
• On the positive, two of those three home games are Georgetown and Butler, which we should win if our team plays blindfolded.
• Expecting Marquette/Creighton on 12/30 to be a top-5 matchup, possibly between undefeated teams. Could even be 1/2.
• 4/5 and 6/8 on the road starting in mid-January. That's a tough travel stretch, particularly ending with a trip to UConn. Upside, as that's a Saturday we probably play in Hartford instead of on campus.
• Ultimately, we couldn't go 11-0 in non-con until we had a schedule, and the same goes for getting to 20-0 in the Big East. Win them all, secure the #1 overall seed, and cut down nets four times. Let's go.

The Bucks organization serves Budweiser, that's literally all you need to know.

[Mu8891]

Lens - Great point.  That sums it up

[Dickthedribbler]

Yeah I think the "Al's Night" stuff has become a bit of overkill anyway.

A LOT of overkill ( and that from someone who loved every minute of Al's time here).

[🏀]

Yeah!  Why does UConn have their TV + Times listed but we don't!!!!

UConn is a championship caliber program with a marketing department with similar chops.

MU’s marketing department can’t handle the weight of Shaka’s success.

(Hope you meant teal)
 
YOU REALIZE UCONN DOESN’T HAVE TIME
OR TV YET EITHER. 

NO ONE IN BIG EAST DOES.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

Time and TV hates us.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Time and TV hates us.

DePaul hates us too. Back to mid-week games in The Winnie. And to think, last year they finally fixed their beer delivery issues.  🤷

Yes.

We’re slighted again, no respect as a national championship contender!

Hopefully MU avoids those big nationally televised games! We never win those, always a huge disappointment.

My bad, it's actually three home games during that stretch. I missed that we were playing DePaul at our other home arena

agreed, but I did like AL on the jersey rather than last season on the shorts waistband.

I think TAMU's point was the 6/8 on the road stretch. Probably easier to look at 1/20 to 2/20.

I guess the upside is we open with 4/6 at home (though 3 of those without students) and close with 4/6 at home.

Fix the typo

Friends,  I don't think I've ever posted on scoop, but I read it every day.  I'm an MU alum (PhD 1999) and I will be in DC for the Georgetown game on Feb 3.  I need two tickets.. Anyone with leads, connections?  Does MU have road tickets for sale?

[tower912]

Based on the average Georgetown attendance, the simplest thing may be to simply go through the venue.
