Cuse releases ACC schedule

[Orangezoo]

Wow. Couldn't have asked for a better intro to the league.

Only downside is that means year two is probably not going to be as high profile.

Maybe - but with the cards coming into the league getting Louisville as the third home/home could change that ... either way getting Pitt twice, Duke & UNC at least once, the cards at least once - thats 5 really big conf games to look forward to every year.

Back to next years schedule - should be a lot of fun. With the non-conf having Maui and some former big east foes - SOS should be sky high next year too.. lets hope that is not a disadvantage.

My girlfriend is a diehard Duke fan. We're definitely going to be looking to spend some good cash for some close seats.

One thing i noticed while looking at this schedule..SU should embrace that it is the northernmost school in the ACC. In mid winter, watching these southern schools travel up to the wintery central NY will be like Napoleon trying to invade frozen/snowy Russia. Or for the Game of Thrones fans, Syracuse is like the Great Wall where no one (in this case ACC teams) dare go when winter nears should they want to come out alive.

Boner central!

WOW!!!
I am sure CJ Fair is catching the memo.

Let me be the first to say it will be so nice not to see that puke uconn or gtown grey
and some of that light blue, and white instead.
I just hope ND brings the bet big dance langerie.

Year two we get a home and home with Louisville. Book it. I won't complain.

SO this is why CJ was waiting to announce

Syracuse's first season of play in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is starting to take shape. The conference office announced the men's basketball game locations for 2013-14.

The Orange itinerary is broken down into the following contests:

• Syracuse will play home-and-home dates with its two ACC "partners" -- Boston College and Pittsburgh.
• The Orange have home-and-home series with Miami and Duke.
• SU's five other league home games feature Georgia Tech, Clemson, North Carolina, North Carolina State and Notre Dame.
• The remaining road-contest portion of the slate has Syracuse traveling to Florida State, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech and Marlyand.

Actual game dates and times will be announced by the ACC office once television network designations are made and tip times are decided upon.

HAPPY...HAPPY...HAPPY!!!!

Am I reading correctly- One more home game than away game? I thought we played 18 games or am I missing something? Maybe we travel to Virginia too?

In the original posting Syracuse left out the road game at VA. Since then they have updated it

Just saw that. Thanks.

 

[Stevenson]

When do we play Tulane and SMU?


Haaaaaaaaa!!!!

 

[AirForceOrange]

The ACC is the new BEAST OF THE EAST!!!

 

[edowd26]

Wow, only 1 conference loss... 1 seed.

 

[Alsacs]

This has to be said, but no Denny's visits for JB to Clemson during season 1, but maybe he can fit one during the ACC tournament in Greensboro. Winston-Salem, Tallahassee, Charlottesville, Blacksburg, College Park, Durham, and Miami to go with Boston and Pittsburgh will allow for decent eating for JB on the road. Only Blacksburg may be interesting.

 

[AirForceOrange]

Guess this means I will be setting up the tailgate for the FSU basketball game as well as the football game...oh darn!! :E:E

 

[bballbeadle]

Have UNC or Duke ever visited the Dome before (to play Syracuse)? I think they've come for NCAA tournament games.

I moved here in 84 from North Carolina and really started paying attention to SU bball in 87. To my knowledge, neither UNC nor Duke has ever come to the Dome. I think I would remember that. We did play UNC in the Elite 8 in 87. That was the first time I ever saw SU play.

Wowee zowee, what a schedule!!!

 

[AirForceOrange]

I am so glad Syracuse is coming to Tally next year!!! A round of Tee's for everyone!! On me!!!

 

[SoBeCuse]

This is awesome!! I may be in the minority but I think the competition will be stiffer and better. Playing games away at FSU, Maryland, Clemson, VA Tech/UVA, etc. are much tougher than going to sleepy NBA arenas SU Fans can dominate or dead venues like DePaul or USF's.

Very nice of you, but this one's on me.


Edit: ha, I already saw you bought the round.

YUP!!! I beat the TeeMaster!!

 

[zibby]

What? No DePaul, Providence or Seton Hall on the schedule?

I guess I'll have to settle for a home-and-home with Duke.

 

[tee1222]

YUP!!! I beat the TeeMaster!!

I'm guessing like me, you didn't even look! That was the first time I did that. Even the UNC undefeated at the dome got tee'd up.
Strange times we're living in, brothers and sisters.

Syracuse Regional

Boner central!

OK, I just laughed so hard my co-workers asked me what was going on, and how do I explain why I'm laughing so hard?
