Syracuse and Army schedule 4 game series

[007]

I'll reach double 7 in the 1st year of the contract, and I never consider myself old.

You will only be 14 in 2023, bagger?

This is some great news. My road trip to West Point to see Syracuse play there as a teen was incredible, even with the loss.

Talk about atmosphere, the pageantry, the cadets. I can not wait to go back with my son!!

Take my money!!!

I'll qualify for Senior Citizen ticket pricing by then.

Not sure why you'd hope that. I hope he's still leading us to great success.

Hopefully he will be on to bigger things by then and the program will be in the capable hands of one of his disciples.

What? Um, no. Hopefully he is HERE coaching towards a national championship. Worry about protégés later

Kudos to the new staff on doing this. It has been far too long since we last played the Black Knights.

Really good move. West Point is a great place to watch a game. The history, the scenery and the location, between the two biggest hubs of Syracuse fans in CNY and NYC, make it a place we should travel to in large numbers...

It's about time.

jeah boy. Great series

But, but, but ... they're not leaving the State of New York!

I'm just being realistic. If the program performs well enough that he gets scooped up by a powerhouse or the NFL, that will be a good thing.

Great, ESPN will have a map of Syracuse Football "Home" games by then...

Especially when our FCS game is against Wagner or Stoneybrook or UAlbany.

[rrlbees]

Excellent. Love playing the cadets.

 

[GoSU96]

SU should be playing a rotation SUNY Albany, SUNY Stonybrook, and Colgate at home and should always have either UB or Army home or away.

I'm 78 now.I hope I'm still around to see the game.I used to love going to West point and Annapolis .

Army has stunk for 20 years, but i get the attraction and military vibe. Not a huge draw OOC draw for the dome. 8 years out boys...eat you Wheaties, take your meds, and get plenty of exercise. See you all in 8 years.

 

[CuseOnly]

That's basketball...home game!

 

[Faegan]

To put it in perspective, my rising 6th grader will be a freshman when the first game is played. Hopefully he'll be at SU!

 

[SWC75]

Colgate in the Dome, home and home with Army, a MAC or CUSA opponent, a Power 5 opponent or Notre Dame, then the ACC schedule. Every year, please.

 

[Briancuse]

Love that we are playing at Michie Stadium, such a great venue for college football.

 

[CanadianSU]

I think we need to stop thinking this way. If Syracuse gets good for a few years it could be a solid player in the CFB landscape. And the revenue gap will be greatly diminished in the coming few years as well, if what we are hearing about the ACC network is to be believed. Syracuse should have the resources to hang onto any excellent coach. We'll see what transpires as time goes on

If the offense is half as exciting as predicted, ticket sales should increase enough to keep HCDB in town. Also, once HCDB has his recruits in place, he should be able to maintain a top level team and perfect the D to match the O.

No thanks. What is the fascination with the Army and SUNY? SU is private, let UB play the Danes and Stonybrook. IMO, Div1 football is a national game played on a national stage, period. Playing SUNY schools does nothing for the football team except put a notch in the W column. But why not keep playing the Richmonds, RIs, Novas, etc. and get exposure outside the crappy state of ny, which does not develop a whole lot of talent anyway. As for Army, I never understood the desire by many on this board to play them, however I'm not going to rant against it like I would the SUNY schools, I mean they are a still a legit D1 program. So is UB but I remember our prior series with them. It was extremely boring, no hype at all. I had more fun with Toledo and CMU.
