Syracuse/South Florida schedule home/home per Brett McMurphy

[kirbivore]

2015 is NOT a MetLife year.

Way too early to count out the good Dr.'s itchy Met Life trigger finger on that LSU game.

 

[kirbivore]

Hopefully that ND game gets changed to the Dome.

 

[Timonen]

so youre saying brunner is not the QB...

not Rich Gannon, either.

Hopefully Syverud will step in if DG even thinks of moving that one...

Why don't we just do away with the FCS opponents and play Army every year instead?

 

[Frozen]

Why don't we just do away with the FCS opponents and play Army every year instead?

Because, as I pointed out in the previous "why don't we eliminate FCS opponents?" thread, FCS teams give us a near-guaranteed victory that counts as one of the six you need to become bowl-eligible. And it's a guaranteed home game every season. Army is not going to come to the Dome without expecting SU to visit West Point. And while that's a nice place to watch a game and an easy trip for SU, let's cut down on the road games at non-P5 schools if we can.

Gross doesn't dare move that game, the outcry among season ticket holders would be unbearable.

I forgot about the Meadowlands games making our schedule unbalanced.

we all know that's not happening

 

[OburgOrange]

So, no chance for the service academies anytime soon?! Oh Lord

Navy joins the AAC next year. With OOC games against Army, Air Force, and Notre Dame, there's no room for SU.

at least no MetLife next season

 

[CousCuse]

Wish we could play a game in Philly , lots of athletes there. Would it be against the law to play an FCS team at their house or a larger stadium in that area ?

yes.

the law of common Fn sense.

 

[Chris02M]

looking towards the 2015 acc schedule there is only 1 bye week so a week 2 by is very unlikely

How about this: We open versus Rhody on Friday (9/4) again. Then play an ACC opponent away (Ville, FSU, NC St or UVA) on Friday Sept 11th or Saturday Sept 12th?

BTW: Cuse fans...identify this as your away game. Allegiant offers nonstop flights from SYR, BUF and Elmira to St Pete/Clearwater Airport. Nonstop to Tampa IIRC from Rochester.

Allegiant Air schedules only about 8 months in advance.

My brother is in assisted living in Largo so we will be there!

 

[JarHeadJim]

Yes my wife wanted to go back to Tampa for our annaversary next year! Two Birds one stone!

Move the URI game to Sat. Sept. 5th (the Sat. of Labor Day weekend), then play at home Fri. Sept. 11th, which is also Patriots day. We are NY's College Team...Invite 10th Mountain and NYC FF and Police......

of the 2015 acc away opponents only FSU and NC State are available that week and NC State has 1 TBA Non Conference VS EKU. I'd rather not play FSU in week 2 if possible since LSU is 2 weeks later

 

[syr02esq]

Great move for recruiting reasons.

 

[Chris02M]

Virginia has the worst possible starting games next year:
wk 1- @ UCLA
wk- VS ND lol

 

[mountaincuse]

Great move for recruiting reasons.

Would be great if it was staggered with at FSU seasons instead of the same year

With somewhat unexpectedly good attendance last week and good results during other recent Friday games, I think it may become an opening night "thing". They'd get a fraction of the butts in seats for a Saturday game against a 1-AA in the middle of the last long weekend of the summer. They could still honor the soldiers and first responders on 9/12, as two Friday games in a row could be a bit much.
