Possibility of College Gameday at SU/Miami

[TexanMark]

I’m kinda leaning Army- Navy as far as what college football is all about.At least it should be but you are probably more accurate because nowadays it’s all about the cash and we all know A&M and Texas have the cash.

Army/Navy game is Dec 14th

Yeah I was responding to what college football is all about.He said Texas vs Texas A&M exemplifies what college football is all about and I like to think it’s more like Army vs Navy or at least should be

Every time the board starts talking about Gameday the team goes out and poops all over itself - every - single - time.

Please just stop.

They’re not going to win out. They’ll hopefully win most and have a great season.

But everyone - for the love of god - stop with the ’n Gameday nonsense.

This is exactly why I started a thread Sunday on this topic once I saw a couple people saying such things.

It would be better to have Miami with 1 loss.
What if
Miami loses one ACC game, before our game
Clemson loses 1 more ACC game
Pitt losses 2 more ACC games

The ACC standings going into the final week are
SMU 7-0
Miami 6-1
Clemson 6-2 (and done)
Cuse 5-2

If we were to win, Miami, Clemson and SU are all 6-2. We would have the tiebreaker in that situation since Miami did not play Clemson. First tie breaker would be best record against the tied teams.
We would be 1-0, Clemson 0-0 and Miami 0-1... we go to the ACC championship game... and the Miami Cuse game is essentially a playoff game. Game Day would come for that.

Even if L'ville wins out and it is a 4 team tie for second place. Cuse would be 1-0, L'ville would be 1-1, Miami would be 1-1 Clemson 0-1, and we win again.

We aren’t getting gameday this year

Reality check folks, we can’t even get off of the CW

There is ZERO respect for this team or what it has done

 

[ChrisCourt]

Let GAMEDAY come to us, not US go after GAMEDAY.

Patience, grasshoppah..... Like JRHEETER said, we can't get passed the CW!!

Let Coach Fran do Coach Fran things, then we see what happens.

 

[elimunelson]

Gameday for our E-Sports teams.

I don't think common opp thing works unless you have common opp.

Since the odds are multi team ties wont, it will probably go to combined Win % of conf opp.

our best chance

We need to win out
VT needs to Beat Clem and lose one
Clem needs to lose to VT and Pitt
Pitt needs to lose to Virg/BC
Lou needs to Pitt
Miami needs to lose to GT/SU and win the rest

that way Lou/Pitt/Clem/VT/Wake all have 3 losses
and we win the Miami h2h

Now if SMU wants to lose its last 3 thats fine too.

more options if Lou was to stumble vs Stan this week

Mind blowing that people think we are some beyond relevant team that ESPN wants to go to.

They don’t even want us on ACC Network, let along a whole show broadcast from Syracuse University.

There is no chance we get Gameday this year and I’m okay with it

Agreed...I also want it when the students are fully invested.

If we beat the Vols maybe a game late September vs an ACC opponent like Pitt or UNC

 

[sabach]

It would be SU to get Gameday for the game the students are not on campus.

 

[sabach]

It would be ironic that we finally get Game Day with no students on campus.

Should have read you post before I posted.

 

[dollarbill44]

And just like that, next year is ruined.

FB got a nice mention in mandel’s athletic mailbag today. That’s the extent of the positive vibes it seems.

Which first-year coach — other than Curt Cignetti — have you been most impressed with this season? And which have you been most disappointed with? — Andrew, Chicago

I’m impressed by Syracuse’s Fran Brown. I admittedly knew next to nothing about the former Rutgers and Georgia secondary coach when Syracuse hired him, but he quickly made his mark in the transfer portal, landing former Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord; then in recruiting, where a program that previously ranked in the 50s or 60s nationally is looking at a second straight year in the mid-30s; and now on the field.

Syracuse, 6-2, has two very bad losses, at home against Stanford (now 2-7) and 41-13 at Pitt two week ago, but it won at UNLV and beat Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech. With games remaining at Boston College, at Cal and against UConn, before closing against Miami, the Orange have a good shot to win eight games for just the second time since joining the ACC in 2013.

Note: Brown may be the perfect example of my belief that being a good coordinator is not an indicator of whether someone will be a good head coach. The 42-year-old New Jersey native had never been a coordinator. But as ESPN’s Andrea Adelson reported this spring, “On his iPad, (Brown) has folders from every stop along the way, with notes, schedules, schemes, reminders and plans for how he would run his own program.”

Syracuse AD John Wildhack was an unconventional hire, having spent the entirety of his career at ESPN. Credit to him for looking in a less obvious place.

We have no shot at game day. It'll be Texas/ATM

Do I even have to say it at this point?

Yup and I’m fine flying under the radar this season with Fran Brown.

Love the direction of the program and Fran Browns vision.

I think it’s truly going to pay off in the long run.

I think you're right. But as far as Gameday this year, ESPN has given us 2 primetime games and we've kinda crapped the bed in both of them. So not sure they'll be excited to showcase us on Gameday this season.

Took the words out of my mouth. Cuse needs to graduate off the CW for a season first.

 

[kirbivore]

They have to take Texas vs A&M. Btw wasn’t that usually a Friday game?

South Carolina vs Clemson could be in play if both win out.

Same for Vandy vs Tennessee (less likely).

Doubt we have a shot.

Yes that Texas vs Texas A&M game was traditionally on Black Friday during the SWC/Big 12 days.

 

[SkyTopBus44]

I agree with all the overall tone of this thread. From a nostalgia perspective it got me thinking about what would be an ideal program from a Syracuse fan perspective for us to host game day. Miami would check off so many boxes for this big east traditionalist. It would be fun to see some highlights of the glory days 90s games vs. Miami during the pregame. Well maybe not 2001 or sadly a lot of other games . Syracuse hosting gameday against any former big east school or Penn State would be kinda cool. We have to get there first but it was curious if we were to host gameday do you think the opponent would matter?

 

[kcsu]

It would be SU to get Gameday for the game the students are not on campus.

During a blizzard

 

[elimunelson]

During a blizzard

that would be very cool actually.

Gameday will happen if we continue doing what we're doing.

 

[Eric15]

I'll be honest, when I started this thread, I thought it would be just a universally light-hearted and happy topic in an otherwise stressful week. I had no idea that for some posters here fantasizing about College Gameday coming to Syracuse was as triggering as Rambo thinking about his time in Vietnam.
