OT - UCONN to Play Michigan State in Germany

[ge1974]

On the same day we play Ohio State, November 9th.

It'll be played at a US Air Force base in Germany. ESPN will televise. Not sure of the starting time as Germany is 6
hours ahead of East coast time.

Way to go espn. Reward uconn's post season ban for crappy grades.

Marquette needs to get ahead of Michigan State on this trend of playing in various secure locations. Let's see, the White House has a basketball court. Nah, too obvious. The Supreme Court? OK, cool to play at the highest court in the land. However, there's only one choice to really make a splash: next season Marquette needs to open at Area 51!

[Hamostradamus]

There is no Area 51, Mayor. I believe you are mistaken.

[Goose85]

If they are flying to a US base, do the players need a passport?

Cool to travel all over to play, but I'd like to see MU try to get a made for TV game at Miller Park.

[IWB]

Passports are likely needed as they do not have military IDs, and I was thinking the same exact thing about Miller Park.

[The Reptile]

I vote for opening the season playing at Rucker Park.

[MayorBeluga]

There is no Area 51, Mayor. I believe you are mistaken.

Man, they've gotten to you too?

Man, they've gotten to you too?

I'm going to have to side with the Mayor on this one - Fox Mulder spent an entire episode IIRC debunking the myth that there is not, nor there ever was an Area 51.

Some people are in a constant state of denial.
