ACC Schedule !!

The 12/17 game against Georgetown (honoring Pearl) could have broken a record. But I am afraid the students won't be there ... so I am not hopeful.

That is sad. Classes end 12/14 and final exams are the 15th thru the 21st. Not an ideal time for the students nor the players either. Hope the kids will need a break from all that studying to attend the Dec 17th Pearl game.

Don't worry, the townies opposite the TV camera will be jumping up and down like Duke students the whole game. NOT!
 
I don't like the Saturday home games followed by the Tuesday away games. Why can't it be Saturday followed by a Wednesday. The people who made the schedule are a bunch a holes.
 
January 1st is a Sunday. There are no football bowl games that day. I'm glad to see we won't have a conflict with our Citrus Bowl game against Auburn In Orlando on December 31st.

Hang on. Don't care to look this up, but is it true that there aren't any New Year's Day bowl games?

What kind of a weird sports world is this? No bowl games, SU's in the ACC playing yet another lousy home schedule with a Sunday night game, a bunch of nooners, and our best opponent on a Wednesday? Weak.
 
Awful!!!! Are they kidding me with all these noon games????

And how is the duke game not on a weekend???

Acc suuuuuuuuuuuux

Agree, and I don't want to hear about how much worse the alternative would've been. The ACC's been awful for SU and basketball. The scheduling doesn't make any sense.

New Years Day is Sunday.

NFL games only.

I think that's been true every time January 1st is a Sunday. The big bowls have always skipped Sunday and moved to the Monday, and the lesser bowls don't want to compete for airtime with the NFL's last week of the season.

Thanks, I'm always good for an uninformed rant or two.

My complaining about the hoops schedule stands, though.

Even the basketball fans huh?

That's week 17 of the NFL regular season. College FB still knows who the king is.
 
With this roster and this schedule we could win the conference.

Duke has to go to UVA/Louisville/Syracuse/UNC/Notre Dame. They were given no favors.

Not sure why everyone thinks Pitt will be tough. If we can't beat them without Dixon, when will we ever beat them?
I did not read everything yet, but of course Pitt.
Hey Marsh! I hate Pitt almost as you hate fukon.
 
8am for this drunken idiot. It's doable, but man does it suck

Ouch, I do not envy you sir. I need the energy I had from my 20s to pull this off. I'm lucky to get my butt out of bed after hitting snooze 30 times.
 
Horrible schedule particularly for fans coming from out of town. Noon games are terrible - no one is awake and Duke on a Wednesday - What- school can't be happy as this will cost them ticket sales. Regardless I will try and make the Duke, Georgetown and the Virginia games. Let's Go Orange!

Yep, for "out of towners" absolutely horrific, really to the point of being ridiculous. I did a quick analysis last night of what I personally consider the top 7 home games to attend as a fan---not one single game that wasn't a weeknight or nooner. And although Monmouth was on the bubble last year and should be good (if you wanted to go as far as 8 deep on the sched), you would need to take Friday off from work to get up there in time, so it's the same for us as a weeknight.

Duke -- weeknight
Virginia -- nooner
Georgetown -- nooner
Louisville -- weeknight
Miami -- weeknight
Pittsburgh--nooner
FSU--nooner

I really don't understand how they screwed the Duke game up this bad. You had a chance to have an epic Saturday night game, and they blew it.
