GMAC vs Shark in Boston 2026-2027

[OttoinGrotto]

Absolutely zero upside to this.

 

[chadvader]

Agreed. Also can we schedule Butler for a little revenge for the year of AO?

Also if AW wants to get on the horn, how about finding a way to do an NIL tourney and call it the “beasts of the east “ and be an old BE mini tourney in MSG? Just do us, PC, Ville, SJ, UConn, Nova, Gtown and SH/Pitt. One can dream…

The Dave Gavitt Classic. I’ve suggested this for years with the original 8.

 

[phsyra]

This is very smart scheduling by BB if this was his idea. We should be playing multiple old BE teams each year because the fans want to to see those games. We should not be afraaid of this opportunity.

 

[llandz]

Vegas tournament again.

I'll be there again is my plan. It was so much fun. It would be more fun if I had my friends with me. I was alone, and didn't know anyone, but plelnty of fans to tak to all the time.

[Carduccib]

Will be there no matter what. Go orange

Prob more fun winning games too ha.

 

[Scooch]

Absolutely zero upside to this.

Huh? It ain't football. The Garden will be full of Orange fans. It'll be fun. Why hate fun?

 

[DoctahLexus]

Hell yeah. Whoop the 5 remaining real hairs off that dudes big asz head. Might have to travel for this one.

 

[Brooky03]

Absolutely zero upside to this.

Old conference ‘rivalry’, winnable game, big arena (probably sold out), probably televised on a main channel, and if BH is as good as we heard it could be a quad 2 game.

Idk, seems like some upside.

 

[sufan59]

Absolutely zero upside to this.

Completely disagree, I would like to do away with as much of the mid to low majors in the non conference as possible. Play 3 buy games max in the non conference, the other 10 should be high level games, maybe a home and home with a power conference opponent outside of the events scheduled. I really don't care about the NET or all those metrics in the first few seasons of GMAC. We should be playing as many big games as possible. The problem is Syracuse has had the mentality for the last several years of being hunted, for the first few years that was true. Syracuse is not being hunted anymore, need to approach this with a hunters mentality. There is no upside to this if Autry was the coach because Autry wasn't really a psycho when it came to competitiveness. Taken to the woodshed against Kevin Willard Maryland team in Barclays. With GMAC, I would love to play as many of these kinds of events as possible. We really have nothing to lose anymore, our brand has been taken to the woodshed time and time again as of late. So I love this opportunity for the program!

 

[SaveSUHoops]

I will be at this one as well, booing Hodgson the whole game. I never wanted you anyway, Guppy! Full steam ahead on the G-Mac train down to Boston!!!

 

[Chip]

I like this. We'll know right there and then if we made the right choice based on one early season game. If we lose, we can leave Gerry in Boston and move on (and tell JB to clear out his office). If we win, then we know BH would have been terrible here.

There's a lot on the line!

 

[dwilmont44]

Absolutely zero upside to this.

The upside is we kick their ass

 

[CuseFaninVT]

I’ll be at TD Friday night courtesy of my sister and Coke. I’ll be laying the groundwork for a return trip for this game.

 

[LpoolNative]

Vegas tournament again.

Ugh.

Because that's what I do. I hate fun.

You joke and yet... the Duke game.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

You joke and yet... the Duke game.

So is that the measuring stick for Gerry now? Beating Duke at least once a year.

As I said before, no pressure.

 

[dasher]

Ugh.

Why ugh? Either we are going to be good again or we aren't. Plus, the Nil money that comes with this tournament. Plus, I will, be going if we look like we have any type of team.

Anyplace anytime anywhere- coach cal at UMass

I love this. Go play the teams that want to play you.

As an aside how mad is BC w PC coming into their backyard. This won’t be received well at bc. UMass playing at the garden was never received well by the red nosed Irish at bc either

I loved the Vegas tournament. Results of course coulda been better, but it’s nice to watch meaningful games that early.

Was traveling for work during the Houston game. It made the most sense to get to the airport like 4 hours before my flight to watch the game. Got smashed at an airport bar. Logged in here and talked so much trash about how back we were lol. Got aggressive (online. very chill flyer). It was a blast!

 

[pearl31]

Love this.

 

[phil77]

Ugh.

We need to do the NIL Tournament every single year we are invited.

Not beat. Just come close.
