2026 Schedule

I wish we played ND early. Damn. Their depth will be tough to compete with.

I think we will play California the second game of the season. If it happens in week 2, the game will probably be played Friday night to avoid a conflict with Rosh Hashanah. They could also take a bye for 9/12 or play that game away but it seems we play a lot at home each season in September and I suspect the programs wants to have their bye sometime in mid season, like ND has here.

As an aside, we will NOT be playing NC State October 17th or October 24th. NC State’s stadium is located next to the NC State Fair and I do not believe they can host football games there while the State Fair is in session.

I suspect we host Clemson the weekend of 9/16 or 9/26 and play NC State in Raleigh in November.

Agree, Tom. Late November is a bad time to play ND as you detailed. We could also be 5-6, which would dampen the excitement. I’m out for this game. Thanksgiving weekend isn’t good.
 
back to ND… the bathrooms and toilets are going to really put to the test during that game after Thanksgiving.

This game should be sold out. The other half of NEPA that aren’t Penn Staters are ND fans so I expect a large north migration for the game. Cuse should buy all the tickets. My hope is Cuse is good and everyone retains their tix, otherwise I hope they gauge Golden Domers in time for holiday shopping and Aquarium tickets.
 
Since ND has a potential auto bid, maybe they rest their starters for our game



I am joking but sadly you could see teams doing this one day especially if they go to 24 teams.

I wish we had ND's schedule. Miami is tough, SMU is pretty tough.. then 10 winnable games.

Give me an early season @ BC game

It would be great to play there some September with the Red Sox also in town.

I think we play Cal at home in game 2. It would be awesome to play BC at BC a week or two later. We have to play 2 ACC games in September and one would think the other would be on the road.

Friday night IS Rosh Hashana. Could do it Saturday night as less observant Jews only celebrate 1 day so it ends at sundown on Saturday. But also in September sumdown is still late, and also Conservative and orthodox observe through sundown Sunday. I think maybe they could get away with a Saturday night, but there would be push back. They've done it before for away games, but not home games.

Syracuse tries to avoid mid October home games for Jewish holidays, their not gonna be able to avoid the second week of the season as well. As Tom noted I suspect week 2 will be a home game be it Fri or Sat.

Also if you have to do one, you pick Rosh as most Jewish people would tell you it’s the less strict one from an observance point l. Yom Kippur is the holiest of days. Then again I’m a lapsed catholic so I view every religious holiday as expendable.

They're both early this year so October could be in play if they wanted.
