Here Comes Treble: Cornell Big Red Return To Dome November 8th

It's been a few years but the natural rivalry between the Syracuse Orange and Cornell Big Red will kick back into gear on November 8th when the Ivy League school visits the Carrier Dome.

Filling the role of familiar face in a season full of unfamiliar ones, the Cornell series goes all the way back to 1900 and the Big Red are the team SU has played 2nd-most in our history. Syracuse leads the series 87-31 and has won 33 in a row.

I've said in the past that Cornell should be a yearly game and I'm glad to see them back on the schedule. Even if they're down, coming off a 13-18 season, there's a good chance they'll get better. Couple that with the Upstate location and they're a natural compliment to a schedule full of schools from North Carolina and Florida.

So, let's update the schedule as we know it...
