BU back in chicago invitational challenge?

[mark_IL]

didn't see this posted anywhere else- i apologize if this is old information. at any rate, good news for those of us living in chicago area that don't get to see many BU games in person

this is the same tournament BU was a part of in 2006 (a tournament which included a tough loss to illinois, if my memory serves correctly); the 2011 lineup includes nevada, byu, and wisconsin

Thats a good field!

[ManMythLegend]

I like the teams mentioned!

[TheAsianSensation]

I'm guessing this was a Les scheduling coup, and it's a pretty good one. I'd love that field, although, as always, beware the two cupcake games you get shoehorned into.

I enjoyed that weekend trip to Chicago a few years back, and would certainly look forward to a return trip next season!

[Da Coach]

Great field of teams. I am guessing this might have been the tournament Dr. Cross hinted at a few months ago. We were thinking Florida, but Chicago would be good, too.

That's a great field for us, last time the Braves played in this tourney BU faced off against Rutgers and it may have been the best game I've ever seen the team play, they absolutely destroyed the Scarlet Knights. Nice job by the staff, whoever it is that got us in it.

Good field. I was worried we lost our potential spot in the Old Spice tourney to InSt.

Any time you can play in Chicago is great.

If you get to play against very good teams...it's even better!

[BU RICK]

We'll get to play either Wisconsin or BYU, and if we win the first game...probably both!
I would think we'd play either Wisconsin or BYU in the first game.
That's three good teams for next season.

Seems like a good spot to get local kids to watch us as well. People always want Chicago recruited more. Too bad Sammy couldn't have played his final year in his home town, would have been cool to see.

Awesome tourny, I will be very happy if GF can schedule as well as JL has done with tournaments like this. Someone said Kent State's RPI's have been high for their conference recently, that's a good sign.

Great news! Should be a fun tournament.

When we played in the inaugural Chicago Challenge, didn't they say we'd be back in 2010 or 2011? I thought I remember hearing or reading that. Regardless, this is arguably the best tourney field we have been a part of in years. Non-con is looking great all of the sudden!

Non-con is looking great all of the sudden!

So What are we looking at right now?

at Drexel
home against Tennessee Martin possibly
home bracket buster
I am assuming about 4 total games in the Chicago tourny

I'm not sure how many other games we played this year will be returned....What else do we have lined up right now?

Home against WCU
Another east coast game

Two more dates to schedule, hopefully a BCS home game a winnable home game.
