Syracuse vs. BC In November, Just Like Old Times

The last time Syracuse and Boston College squared off, it was a meaningful, end of the season November contest. That made for such a good combination back in '04, I guess both teams figured why mess with a good thing? The Orange and Eagles resume the rivalry this season as part of an eight-game series and it looks like that game will be the season-ender for both teams. The 2010 match-up in the Dome has officially been penciled in for November 27th.

What are the chances Diamond Ferri is in the building for this one? One gabajillion percent?

The 2010 OOC schedule now reads Maine (Sept. 4th), @ Washington (Sept. 11th), @ Akron (Sept. 18th) and home against BC to close the year. The Orange need to fill a final spot in the schedule (with one of these teams). If SU finds the right cupcake, they could open the season at home with that and Maine, a great way to (likely) start 2-0 and get the season rolling.

Calling it right now

Maine is going to surprise the hell out of us with an actual punt. When they actually punt it will be considered a fake fake punt.

Fluitie's mom,

I’m pretty sure, sat behind me in ‘87. SU was down 17-0 at the half and won 35-17, I think. It may have been 45-17. The thing was that through the entire game- whenever BC was on offense- the two women behind me (I guessed mom and aunt at the time) kept saying “throw it to DEARREN!, throw it to DEARREN!” (Darren Flutie was a receiver for them at the time). It was a great game but sort of a let-down because I was surrounded by BC fans. Got the tickets from an uncle- I was, like, 14 at the time. I’ll always remember, though, that my first prolonged experience with a NE accent was this terrible noise behind me. It sucked. Wicked bad.

Go Orange!!

My first SU experience

(I can remember) was watching SU vs BC back when D McNasty was playing on TV. We were in Mass so everyone was pulling for the Eagles, but something about Syracuse… Loved it.
