Way Too Early Prediction

I absolutely loathe playing Connecticut in Connecticut late in the year. Yet for whatever reason, the higher ups in this freaking conference, many of which are holdovers from the Big East days, have slated Cincinnati to visit the Northeast just as the weather starts to turn bad. Three of the last four times UC has visited UConn have been on December 1st, November 27th, and November 25th. Whatever. I’m still taking UC by a touchdown or two.
