So does this count as an away game?

[SUintheVille]

Maybe not, the aircraft carrier isn't SDSU's home. The pundits will still be yapping.

Stop. Just stop.

 

[SUMBA]

It will be considered a home game for us since it was on a Carrier...

 

[OttoMets]

Where's that Heath Ledger Joker face?

This is a facetious question, yes? I mean, of course it isn't an away game, just like an NCAA tournament game in Salt Lake City isn't an away game.

It was on the ocean > all oceanic bodies of water connect in some way > New York State touches an ocean = Not an away game for Syracuse

 

[Jasoncuse]

As bad as SDSU was (is?), that's still going to be an important W.

 

[GonzoInMD]

I heard more crowd chants for SU than SDSU...therefore, it's definitely a home game.

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

this schtick has grown tired.

Damn you, Panama Canal!

Considered a neutral site game--although I think Pomeroy has come up with a different designation that splits the difference between neutral and away. "Semi-away" maybe.

The wind conditions made it a joke. But come Selection Sunday this win will look real nice on the resume.

Not having any losses will help us, as well.

 

[SWC75]

It wasn't aboard the Starship Enterprise, so it's a home game for the 'Cuse.

What really stinks about this is that commentators will still be able to legitimately say, "SU hasn't played a game in a state outside of New York yet this year." Cue Dickie V's cupcake city schedule along with the above line sometime soon.

I'm not sure I follow. Yesterday wasn't a road game, but it sure was outside the state of New York.

Technically is was played on a ship in water and not on land -therefore it could not have been played in a state - therefore the first game played on the continental US will be in NY

 

[HouseOfCuse]

Game was recheduled due to bad weather. Syracuse has bad weather. Must be a home game for Syracuse. Right?

 

[br801]

Stop. Just stop.

We have the functionality to ignore specific posters, so surely there must be a way to block these crappy threads.

Gotcha. Is the ship seaworthy? I've got to think it's technically not on the water, per se; it really is on land. Could be wrong, of course.

It's the newest "Woe is me, we are a victim of the media perception" cry from people. Nunes started it up around the beginning of last year and it has spread like wildfire.

 

[HOFCeluck]

The tounge in cheek justifications for why every game we play is a home game is probably the worst Syracusefan development in the last ten years.

Well maybe second, next to people preferring thread view.

Just answer me this: since syracuse plays its home games in the united states on a basketball court, and yesterdays game was played in the united states on a basketball court, does it count as a syracuse home game?

Really?

The game was played in the State of California.

Ocean water is part of that state out 3 miles from shore.

Me thinks the federal government might have a bone to pick with you about whether or not the U.S. Midway is part of the state of California, at the very least, from a jurisdictional point of view.

NCIS might have jurisdiction over any crime committed, but it is a 20-year moored and decommissioned vessel that is actually a museum run by an NPO. I'd bet being on its deck is considered being in the State of California.

Kind of tough to research, and I would love if someone can prove that one way or the other.
