Big shout out to Kirk Herbstreit

[PhatOrange]

for picking NC State to win. Thank you Herbi.

It's funny - with us being ranked, the narrative has suddenly shifted.
Todd Blackledge was very positive about Syracuse this morning. Watch everyone pick us to win v Wake this weekend.

and then watch us lose cause it's what we do. But it would be really nice to get some forward momentum for the ND showdown. If chalk holds the ND game is going to get HUGE publicity.

Yeah, I hate to hope for nice things, because we can't ever seem to have them (although being ranked is a welcome change). But if favorites win the next two weeks, we get all eyes in NYC.

As things sit right now, it's the only matchup between two ranked teams that weekend.

I think Nov 9/10 weekend will be layups for both SU and ND. This weekend is the toss up for both.

Not sure how ND's TV contract with NBC works, but if it's undefeated ND vs. 8-2 SU, is there a chance the game gets moved to primetime?

And Tirico will be doing the game.

That should be interesting. He's a pro and will play it straight (with added enthusiasm).

That would be pretty awesome!

i was thinking this AM...how mad is ND for moving that game to a neutral site? If it's undefeated ND vs 8-2 Syracuse wouldn't they have wanted that game in South Bend? I mean they may second guess making our game the Shamrock Series event. They probably assumed we would stink.

I think the game is set at the time with Yankee Stadium. I would assume they don't have the power to move it

I don't think they'll care. It's about as much a neutral site for them for football as MSG is for us for basketball.

 

[RF2044]

Before the season, we were picked to finish last in the ACC.

Over-under on win total was 4.8 [or something along those lines].

Zero respect. Glad to see the narrative changing. Kudos to Dino and this group of players for busting their humps in the offseason, and for getting it done on the field.

And guess who was picked to finish dead last in the coastal? Virginia.

they might have the fans but it's not the same as playing at home.

TV $$$$ controls everything, if TV wanted it moved the next question would be sure to what time?

We're getting used to being, in the imortal words of George W. Bush, "misunderestimated".

Wish we could get them in the Dome again, now that we’re good. Would be so much fun to have a crack at them at home. That one would pack the Dome. That 2003 game was a lot of fun.

We'll be top 10 when they come to the Dome in 2022.

Forgot that we actually got them scheduled in the Dome again! It’s been away/neutral for so long.

Todd should be he sat there and watched us .outplay Clemson for 59 minutes.

I will confess I only had us at 5 wins...I thought linebacker/dline(thin) and wr were all serious areas of weakness and did not think oline would be “this “ much better. Plus I thought FSU was a loss. I also thought QB would take step back with receiver seemingly weak. More then happy to be wrong...seriously did not expect Custis to show like he did at the start. That was my biggest surprise. Hopefully Cuse can find the win column a few more times this season. Just glad I can finally take my son to a bowl game!

Blackledge is so knowledgeable and polished. His color broadcasts are smooth and informative. herbie is locked in on about 20 teams, the 20 he will do in his broadcasts . In terms of speaking in depth on all P5 teams and a sig part of G5? Nope, he doesnt expand that far. He spends alot of time prepping for the fluffy BS that is college gameday and traveling across country crom GD to his fancy abc broadcast.

Have they ever had college gameday in NYC?
