PrintThe Syracuse Orange had two spaces to fill on their 2012 football schedule and it looks like they've filled the first one.
According to Newsday, the Syracuse Orange will take on the Stony Brook Seawolves on September 15th in the Carrier Dome.
That completes the first four weeks of the schedule, which now begins with a home game against the Northwestern Wildcats (9/1) followed by a game against the mighty USC Trojans in New Jersey (9/8), the home tilt against Stony Brook (9/15) and the first true road game of the year against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (9/22).
The Long Island school seems to be playing one of our 1913 schedules as they're also taking on Colgate, Army and Presbyterian.
The Seawolves (wait, what the hell is a Seawolf?) are a FCS school since 1999 when they moved up from Division II. They've been on a pretty good upswing thanks to coach Chuck Priore. After hanging out around .500 for five seasons, the S'Wolves jumped to 9-4 last year and made it to the 2nd round of the FCS playoffs. They also won their conference for the third consecutive year.
They're no stranger to playing FBS opponents, losing to Buffalo (35-7) and UTEP (31-24) last year. In 2010 they went to South Florida and got run over by the Bulls 59-14.

Current projection here, http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology, has us potentially playing Stony Brook in the first round of the Big Dance.
Seawolf? Some sort of swimming dog thing? Did Seawolves evolve from Beewolves? Then again, our logo is a fruit that will not grow within 1,000 miles of campus. Only Akron and its kangaroo are that loose and fast with geography. Well, that and San Diego State in the Big East.

Wait
Maybe this is a Seawolf?

that looks like a swolen pig
and some of the others were clearly muskrats.
May Doug Marrone bless you and keep you.
The Stony Brook Program's
Come a long way since I went to their football camp as a kid (1997ish). This should be entertaining though, as long as they don’t pull a Maine and actually try to win. Haha
