2024 Schedule

[longtimefan]

It's supposed to be every 7 years based on the number of weekends between Labor Day and the weekend after Thanksgiving. Apparently there is 1 more weekend every 7 years, so that becomes the season with 2 byes on the schedule.

Plus, next year is Leap Year. That extra day comes in handy.

Home game against Kansas next year?

Replacement for Army?

Replacement for Army?

Correct

 

[Bulldog04]

That would be a great game and exciting contest of two up and coming programs

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Correct

Why are we losing the Army game? Just can't make it work around the new ACC schedule?

Losing @ Army for @ Kansas is a major downgrade to me (though I would contemplate making the trip).

Football’s AAC Home and Away Opponents Set For 2024 Season - Army West Point

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Today, the American Athletic Conference (AAC) announced opponents for the 2024 football season for the 14-team conference schedule.

Makes sense. They just released something. 8 AAC Games and then Navy and AF.

Kinda bummed - had a whole group planned to go there.

I think it has more to do with Army joining the AAC than the changed ACC schedule.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

7 home games.

Ga Tech
Miami
Stanford
Va Tech
at BC

So 8 home games.

Home game against Kansas next year?

Kansas at Illinois was set for Sep 7.

We don't have anything locked in for Sep 7.

Perfect match.

Sep 21 @ Army date could be a bye week after 3 games. Not bad given it's a 2 bye week season.

 

[Frozen]

Kansas fans are confident. Unaware that SU’s 2024 team will have very few similarities to the 2023 team. But confident.

 

[NJneer12]

So 8 home games.

I'm trading going to West Point, NY for East Hartford, CT

[UpstateSM]

I do not care for the idea of playing Lance Leipold and Jalon Daniels but at least it is at home and we will learn something about this team nice and early

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Makes things harder. Still anything less than 7-5 would be a red flag.

 

[PhatOrange]

Hate losing the @Army game

But playing Kansas will help our playoff run.

I think we learn from the Ohio game too. Yeah, they're MAC, but one of the better MAC teams. They have coaching stability and this will be their Super Bowl.

Early games with a new staff/system are always a worry. Just have to out-talent them while we all get on the same page.

I'd probably say without any context, 6-6 is more yellow flag than red. Depends on how we look in the games. Do we improve after a rough start? Do we start better and get worse?

But also need to see how the rest of the transfer recruiting season goes. I don't expect any of the freshman flips to have much impact.

The biggest focus to me is what kind of 2025 recruiting class we can bring in.

No doubt. Would be very scary if their QB Rourke didn't portal but he must have been scared of me yelling at him in the dome. Understandable.

here we go, he was hired first and foremost to improve the talent on the roster, that is clearly being done. Fran will need some time to grow into the HC position, which he will be given. He's a first year HC there are going to be some bumps in the road and all the first year guys aren't going to contribute right away, very few will.

 

[CousCuse]

Kansas is going to be a top 10 team next year.

 

[Cuse House]

We are throwing out 7-5 already? No way we only win 7 games. Kansas has been fringe top 25 the last two years. It is a solid team, not a great one. If we land some of these transfers were in the mix for, we will be favored against Kansas @ home.

Issue is on Army's end, joining the AAC has forced them to drop most of their OOC games.
