Agreed. The rehab time itself would be a huge bonus to players who just need time to heal. The team played with heart last night but they need to heal and get back to 100% showed. All teams have the same issue, no special or new concept or revelation, just time to heal. Twelve days is a huge bonus to the athletes.Fenway sucks because amongst other reasons it is so early. There are guys we won’t be getting back no matter when the bowl is but Fenway vs Pinstripe is a big difference in terms of days off. Fenway is better than nothing of course
I have been thinking Military Bowl for a while now.Which bowl will Syracuse football play in? These 3 games make a lot of sense
Syracuse will learn its bowl destination next Sunday after finishing the regular season with a 7-5 record.www.syracuse.com
Here are three games that make a lot of sense for Syracuse:
Bad Bad Mowers Pinstripe Bowl
Opponent: Big Ten
Where: Yankee Stadium in the Bronx
When: Dec. 29; 2 p.m.; ESPN
Why it makes sense? It’s been 10 years since the Orange played in this bowl game, and the Pinstripe will relish a Northeast anchor to help sell tickets.
There’s a pair of Big Ten West options in Illinois and Minnesota that will make for juicy storylines: Could Syracuse face its former quarterback (Illinois’ Tommy DeVito) or its former athletic director (Mark Coyle)?
Pittsburgh, at 8-4, is the one school the Pinstripe might jump at to pair with a Big Ten school in the Bronx. The Panthers beat the Orange head-to-head and haven’t played in the game since 2016.
Wasabi Fenway Bowl
Opponent: American
Where: Fenway Park in Boston
When: Dec. 17; 11 a.m.; ESPN
Why it makes sense? If the Pinstripe takes Pittsburgh, that leaves just one other regional school for the Northeast-based bowl to choose.
The Fenway Bowl has been trying to stage a game for three years after Covid concerns canceled the game in 2020 and 2021.
Syracuse helped launch the Pinstripe Bowl in 2010.
It can do so again at Fenway Park against an old Big East rival. (Cincinnati perhaps?)
Military Bowl Presented by Peraton
Opponent: American
Where: Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland
When: Dec. 28; 2 p.m.; ESPN
Why it makes sense? Dino Babers’ father served in the Navy, and Syracuse University committed to the National Veterans Resource Center, making the institution a natural fit for a game centered around the military.
Like the Fenway Bowl, this game was canceled each of the past two seasons because of Covid concerns.
I know it doesn’t matter, but technically we finished 3td in the division right?
I’m inDukes Mayo Bowl
7-5 should give us some leverage plus are amazing turnout for most away games.
Lots of SU Alum in the area.

Heck just have everyone go bowling. Put names in a hat and schedule a big TV bowl draw extravaganza!

Yeah I didn’t realize the Fenway bowl was so damn early. 12/17? Hard pass. Bowl games before Christmas suck.Fenway sucks because amongst other reasons it is so early.

I’m trying to look on the bright side. Christmas-New Years is going to be busy with things to do anyway.Yeah I didn’t realize the Fenway bowl was so damn early. 12/17? Hard pass. Bowl games before Christmas suck.
I get it. But speaking only for myself, I always take the week between Xmas and New Years off. The weekend before Xmas is going to be full of doing other things. Schlepping up to Boston might not be in the cards.I’m trying to look on the bright side. Christmas-New Years is going to be busy with things to do anyway.
This is taking an otherwise pointless weekend of 8 hours of daylight suck, and making it more fun and exciting. I’ll take a weekend in Boston to watch Cuse at Fenway!
Would agree , but would love to get 2 rounds of Golf in December!I’m trying to look on the bright side. Christmas-New Years is going to be busy with things to do anyway.

12/17 > 12/23 thoughYeah I didn’t realize the Fenway bowl was so damn early. 12/17? Hard pass. Bowl games before Christmas suck.
I may...MAY...try to get to that bowl in Annapolis. That's the only one I would likely travel forHoping for Annapolis. Want to visit an area I've never been. Plus a lot of the AAC teams are fun to watch and have bad defenses. Makes for entertaining game
Which game is 12/23?12/17 > 12/23 though
I just hope anything but Fenway to make most players heal.Hoping for Annapolis. Want to visit an area I've never been. Plus a lot of the AAC teams are fun to watch and have bad defenses. Makes for entertaining game
gasperilla in tampaWhich game is 12/23?
Yeah I fear we'll end up there. Unusual this year in that there are no 6-6 ACC teams, so a 7-5 squad has to play in Boston. Not sure who else is a good fit for a 12/17 bowl game- Wake Forest might be the best since they don't really travel anyways, or maybe Louisville if Cunningham opts out or can't play. Can't see any of the other southern schools interested in that one- hopefully the fact that we just played there rules us out and we end up in the Pinstripe or Military, both of who I assume would love to have us given our fan base...I just hope anything but Fenway to make most players heal.
I would assume Fenway Bowl reps were at the game last night. Maybe the brawls turned them off to us and we go elsewhere. Hey, trying anything I can think of hereYeah I fear we'll end up there.
