Sid: There's a good chance for home-and-home w/ L'ville in 2016-17, 2017-18

[BleedGopher]

per Sid:

• There is a good chance that Louisville, coached by Rick Pitino, and the Gophers, coached by his son Richard Pitino, will play home-and-home nonconference games in the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons.

Go Gophers!!

That would be awesome. Now they need to quit talking about it and get a contract signed. Get it in writing from Papa Rick.

I suppose this means we can rule out another Power 5 game this year? Bring on Frank Pierce!

Exactly. No coincidence this is coming out now, probably within days of the non-conference schedule release. Richie is playing Sid like a drum. Feeble attempt to soften the blow for what's about to come (this season).

Translation? For the 3rd straight season there will not be a single home-and-home of any kind scheduled by Richie (Richmond H&H scheduled by Tubby). It'll be a pleasant and unexpected surprise if there is.

Doesn't everyone?

Given the accuracy of some of Sid's reports, this probably means that the hockey team has reached a deal with Boston University for a couple of series.

So true.

It seems to me that a quality non-conference slate (at least at home) has been "wait until next year" since the early years of the Monson regime.

So UL is going to play IU and MN plus a B1G ACC challenge team each year?

Doubtful

Maybe Richard is going to coach Indiana next year?

My guess is the baseball team purchased a few new Louisville Slugger bats.
