Regarding the 2024 Syacuse-UConn game...

Regardless of where it is played, it looks like it is going to be an October or November game.  We are doing them a solid playing them at a point in the season normally reserved for conference play.

That said, playing a relatively weak program in October or especially November can be a godsend to a team that is banged up from conference play.  Our record in November has been awful since we joined the ACC and if we could have just found a way to go .500 that month, we would have gone bowling a lot more than we have.  Perhaps this is a move to help remedy this issue?

Let's talk specifics here.  Looking at the UConn schedule for 2024, the date of the game appears to be October 19th, October 26th, November 16th or November 23rd.

Guessing UConn will schedule their bye on October 19th (they would have played 7 consecutive weeks).  So 10/26, 11/16 or 11/23 seem like the most likely dates.

My prediction is the game will be played on 11/23, as we try and emulate some other ACC schools that play a weak team the week before Thanksgiving weekend.

I get the feeling it is going to be played in Connecticut and I would not be surprised if there is snow on the ground.  Giddy up.
