Red's last stand - Clemson Game

[letsgorange]

Season and his job are hinging on this one. Can we get 20k in the stands?

I'll be there with the family in tow.

Hope to see some fellow die-hards and get the place rocking!

I have to work.

 

[Dcuse]

Will it be played?

Will it be played?

I'm struggling to remember a time when a game was postponed. Anybody know when the last one was?

Snow should be over in the Syracuse area by tomorrow morning. Will still be some nasty weather in the surrounding areas, which will surely impact the people that need to travel in.

Yes, snow should be over by gametime but how will Clemson even get here. Wouldn’t they arrive today and there is no way that is happening.

I thought Tennessee was Red's last stand - and we won. Will every ACC game be a last stand? If we go 12-6 we still get 6 Little Big Horn defeats.

A WBB game was moved to the Melo Center due to a leaky roof once.

And a game against St Johns was delayed for about an hour in 1998 due to bad weather.

This snow is absolutely ridiculous. The streets aren’t plowed. There’s 16” of snow on my sidewalk. It looks like it’s stopped for now but the wind is gusting 45mph and it’s making the streets worse. Planned to go to the game Tomm and now no chance

 

[Cusefan0307]

It’s CNY. I’ve been out all morning in it driving from B’ville to Clay to Liverpool to Lakeland and now back to Bville. The state has done a great job clearing the main roads. We haven’t had a winter like this in a decade and it shows cause people are getting soft.

Main roads key point. And none of that is SYRACUSE. Or people that live in the city or near the dome. 11:32 the plow just came by on my street and turned our street into a one way because of lack of plowing knowledge. As you can see, I get quite cranky when I know I’m not gonna get my nachos grande at the game lol

My street in Bville is pretty rough too, but I’m lucky to have 4 wheel drive.

I saw a third of the plow fleet is down for maintenance in the city. I guess that’s what you get when drastically cut the city budget!

Yup, 11 plows are down right now. Nice planning guys. They know it’s gonna snow and they are never proactive about anything. And yes I know I choose to live in the city but I love the city for a lot of reasons and I’m 5 mins from the dome. I just can’t believe this winter already, it’s crazy and the worst isn’t even here yet as we know that happens in January February

Assuming Clemson will fly in late afternoon the roads should be better. Would be surprised if postponed and that's probably only if Clemson can't land in Cuse later.

 

[MSOrange]

I have to work.

I do also. I didn't realize it was an afternoon game until this week. Fortunately, I'm working longer days yesterday and today (when I'm not on syracusefan.com ) so I can do a 6 hour day tomorrow.

Doesn't look like too many commercial flight delays at the airport so I imagine this game goes ahead as planned.

Fortunately it is the light fluffy stuff and not heavier snow. If we got this many inches of heavy stuff there would be some serious damage. I am close to Westcott street, which looks half way decent now, but like you said, the side roads are a nightmare and probably will be for the next couple days at least.

Didn’t know you were a Strathmore guy, Bulldog. I’m careful never to reveal too much about myself but decent chance you know some of my family.

"back in my day, we'd walk to this game and wouldn't complain!"

saw a lot of plow drivers off for vacation too. sounds like a bad combo of things for holiday weeks.

Yeah I thought I read somewhere that lack of drivers was a bigger issue for the city than lack of plows.

Not only is this his last stand, this game will decide the fate of Syracuse athletics in general. If the squad doesn’t win this game emphatically, all teams will be shut down permanently, scholarships will be revoked, and the Melo Center will be rented out for kid’s birthday parties.

So yeah, this one is a big deal.
