2024 Schedule

[djorange1989]

Bingo. Recruits aren't diving into who we played, they're looking at 9-3 or 10-2 and saying "that's a good football program"

Yep some folks have not figured that out yet.

Yup. This is about changing perceptions. The reality of the SOS is a different debate and far less meaningful at the start of the Fran Brown era. And, the SOS of the 25 schedule will give SU a golden opportunity to change perception into reality. Perfect storm.

Next year is the first year that we don’t play Clemson and FSU since we joined the ACC. Not to mention we miss Louisville as well. NC State is the best team, based on 2023 results at least, that we play. Can’t ask for much more.

 

[KaiserUEO]

There’s 10 wins already scheduled.

The 11th would be UMass or wake.

SMU would be a good game.

ND might be a reach.

Another 11th would be something like King posted.

I believe that’s pretty much our options.

 

[Scooch]

Home and home with UMass would be great. Western Mass is beautiful in the fall. We can put 10K in their lyric little bandbox of a stadium.

Schedule an easy win. Get it done.

Their stadium is way nicer than I expected. The field is relatively level and has some grass on it.

And they have power.

Okay, that was a joke. This is some place called the Grape Bowl. Maaa. That was the sound a goat makes.

Here is the real stadium:

Are their big parking lots next to the stadium we can take over for tailgating?

Looks like the answer is yes.

If you want a P5 (or P4) opponent, Northwestern and TCU appear to need games.

• Northwestern still needs a twelfth game with open dates on 9/14 and 11/9. This could be a seventh home game for us which certainly offsets playing a stronger opponent.
• TCU appears to need a home game with possible open dates in September. TCU is probably looking for an FCS opponent.

If you want a non-P5 FBS opponent with an attractive destination, UNLV needs to replace Army too. 9/21 and 10/19 are open. UNLV is probably looking for an FCS opponent.

We don't need UMass (unless they come to us) or some FCS school.

Northwestern at Home would be a good test.

If we have to go on the road, playing UNLV in Allegiant Stadium would be a good place to play.

UNLV in Allegiant? They'd sell 10k tickets max

UNLV plays their home games at Allegiant

Neither Northwestern nor TCU have an FCS game scheduled, so they will most likely go that route.

Am I the only one that thinks this stadium looks fantastic?

Yep. Northwestern already is playing Duke and TCU is playing Stanford and SMU, both will add FCS

I suspect CousCuse also feels this way….

I heard they may be making some upgrades in the summer. Hard to believe the state of Mass would be so boneheaded about that facility.

Amherst is a pretty place.

Nothing like a Lobster Roll tailgate!

 

[elimunelson]

Having three games within two hours of me would be amazing next year.

Wow that’s what regional conferences would be like???? So stupid these conferences now

 

[elimunelson]

Amherst is a pretty place.

Wife went there for grad school and it’s fantastic. She lived at Amherst college which is even nicer.

I would think if we played UMass we play at Gillette. UMass used to play there. Last time we played in foxboro was flutie years no?

 

[CousCuse]

The ACC still has that for their old members. The SEC has it intact and the B1G does too. That's why college football is more popular in those places, IMO. Syracuse and BC are in no mans land.

Can't tell if that's sarcasm but honestly, if this plays out, I'll be at all 3 games

No I’m being completely real. Conference regionalization is what made it great. It’s foolish we are back slapping the idea of playing 3 games so close. That’s kinda how it should be. If Penn st, bc, UConn, Pitt, Rutgers, army were the schedule we would be localized.

It’s all so dumb now. Again don’t care where we end up because college football will include bc and Syracuse in whatever realignment occurs.

Just hope we are back w our neighbors and hoops goes back to the big east w our old friends. Of course I’m in the minority and everyone will say that’s crazy and no money opportunities for that.

If memory serves, we never played in Foxborough. I think all the Flutie games were still in Alumni Stadium but I could be wrong.
