GameThread: Syracuse Orange (7-2) vs. Louisville Cardinals (2-7)

The No. 13 Syracuse Orange roll into Senior Day at 7-2 (4-2), and are aiming to send some of the team’s veterans out in style against the Louisville Cardinals (2-7, 0-6). UL’s lost six straight, and Bobby Petrino is SO fired as soon as this season’s over. Sounds like a recipe for “success,” obviously.

The Orange are favored by 20 points (down one point from earlier in the week), and the over/under is an almost “nice” 68.5 points.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. ET from the Carrier Dome — or ESPN2 for those of us at home. If you’re not hyped enough already, here’s a video to help that along.
