We continue our previews of the road trips of 2009-10. See the "Archive" menu on the right for the preceding ones.
Wednesday, December 23, 2009 will be the historic date on which Stanford initiates a home-and-home series with the UConn Huskies. In coming years we will always be at away to UConn and at home to Tennessee, or vice versa!
The game will be played on the UConn campus in Storrs, CT at a time to be specified. (The time was 5:30 ET in a preseason schedule but has gone back to "tba" on the official Stanford schedule.) Stay-at-homes will be able to watch it on ESPN. But if you want the full experience (and no nattering Debbie Antonelli) you will have to travel to the game.
We've got logistic and booking tips on the Travel page. Here we just want to comment on the thoroughly miserable scheduling of this game. It falls on the first day of a national five-day holiday orgy:
- Wednesday, National Get Your Shopping and Wrapping Done Now day
- Thursday, Christmas Eve
- Friday, Christmas
- Saturday, National No Available Parking Space at the Mall day
- Sunday, National Buyer's Remorse and Recriminations day
And they expect us to travel over the best part of that? It's asking quite a lot of the fans.
