Point/Counterpoint: Should BC Fans Care About Playing UConn?

John Fidler: Please let me in on what the big deal is about playing Yukon? I get it's a game against a team in New England and it fills the role of a non-Power 5 opponent instead of playing, say, UMass (oh wait, we're doing that too), but what's to get excited about? Pitt doesn't get excited playing Temple, or North Carolina playing East Carolina, or Syracuse playing Buffalo. It's Yukon that is supposed to be excited about this. To BC it's supposed to be gum on the bottom of your shoe.

Grant Salzano: That analogy is close but not quite there.
