ESPN Gameday Needs to Come to Syracuse for NC State Game

[rocfan44]

You just know the panel will crack a joke about them being back there again instead of us or Michigan. Probably from Rece

I can hear Reece now when it comes to picking our game. "Syracuse fans not happy we chose a different Orange team this week for our show (cue boos)."

 

[Trueblue25]

Hope Clemson slaps the hell out of Bama and Georgia if Dabo makes it by us and to another CFP

Sec pisses me off so much

Any Knoxville natives?? A good Cuse GameDay trolling crew would be a nice touch

 

[Jcuse_44]

Not crying, just not sure why you have an Ivy League superiority mindset. Ever been south of the mason Dixon? Ever been to knoxville? I have twice, and I can assure you it’s just as civilized as Syracuse

You can cherry in pick a few cities down there sure. There are also some counties in NY that might as well pack their bags and go to the hills of W Virginia too.

Syracuse is the real Orange would make a great sign.

 

[djorange1989]

It’s been forever since they went to Rocky Top so I get it.. oh wait..

As would $$$$$$$$$EC pays well or something akin.

If you’re living in the 1800s

That's it..I'm packing my wagon and getting the horses ready and I'm bringing you a swift beating.

A live remote with Brent Axe (does he still have a show?) should generate almost as much enthusiasm around town.

 

[Jcuse_44]

At this point GameDay and ESPN might as well make a permanent studio in SEC country. No idea why they chose Bristol when they hate the northeast for most sports.

 

[elimunelson]

Tooth > Teeth apparently.

 

[UpstateSM]

Barstool gameday show should come up

As someone who has lived here for the vast majority of my life. The cities are meh and once you step outside the lines it’s yokelville

 

[dollarbill44]

As a Syracuse fan, College football always feels like when the hot popular girls ask you to sit down at their table with them, but then when you do you realize it's just because they want to ask you about your friend that the ringleader has a crush on and then they ignore you after that.

This is a VERY specific simile.

Lmao.

You might take rookie of the year AND MVP in a clean sweep at this rate.

Bottom line for me is this.
There are schools and locales that ESPN looks for every excuse to visit.
There are schools that ESPN makes every excuse NOT to visit...or at the very least doesn't care enough to fight for. That is Syracuse.
I get the choice. It's a top 10 matchup. I also believe that if ESPN really wanted to come to Syracuse, they would have, They have skipped top 10 matchups before.
It is what it is.

We keep winning, it’ll come.

Start with making us 6-0 this week.

Just like how the WWE won't have big events here anymore. Herbstreit is afraid the locals will beat him down in the bars after the event.

As well as pest ridden and dealing with swamp ass most of the year. There are some gorgeous historical cities to be fair. Love Savannah and Charleston, the vacation hot spots and some of the old southern charm but in small doses and visitation. Knoxville is meh. Give me the touristy/beautiful Gatlinburg area 1000x over Knoxville.

Im guessing O'Leary for nc state being hurt in the game last night was a factor, but Alabama-Tennessee is a big game in itself

 

[Jcuse_44]

Timing just hasn't worked out this year

There wasn't much competition this weekend but SU was off

Notre Dame would've been a good candidate but they have 2 losses already + SU still has to get through Clemson/NC State

This is NOT a time for logical discourse. This is a time for anger and ranting.

 

[Chris02M]

The weekend of the ND game has a lot of competition (Fla-Georgia, Okie St-K-State, Ohio St-Penn St)...so unless Syracuse beats BOTH NC State and Clemson, I don't see that game happening either.

Oh well, maybe another time

i doubt okie state-Kstate is in play

Agree, thats a way sexier matchup
