Syracuse 2022

[Ketch]

For the 'Bart fans, the last times we beat the Orange (2006, 2013) it was in the Dome. If we're going to pull off one of those miracle victories again I'd rather it be on their turf. The 2013 game was beautiful as we took over the Dome on Alex Love's big night.

3 Away games?

All in April.

the above h/a/n isn't accurate.

true but 3 probably isn't too far off

There are seven away games, two of which are potentially neutral.

so 5 out of 15 games on the opponent's home field

The horror.

hey good for you guys, that's two more than in 2021

People seem to get bent out of shape about the number of home games Syracuse plays every year. I don’t know how or why but I’m sure the Dome has a good deals to do with it. With lacrosse season starting earlier and earlier each year (it’s moved up a full month from the start of March to the start of February since I started watching), I’m sure a lot of teams are happy to play inside to start the year.

UNC played only four away games last year and no one seemed to say didily poo.

Exactly right, same pizzin' and moanin' every year. Meanwhile no one is complaining when they're playing in perfect conditions while plenty of others are playing in miserable conditions in February and March. Have never heard any visiting fans whining about the comfort of the Dome early in the season either. Enjoy it folks, grab yourself a Dome foam and a dog and sit back and enjoy the game. Next one bring your winter gloves, hats, boots, scarfs and hand warmers and watch your boys play on a snow covered field in a blizzard. If lacrosse were still a Spring sport you might have some room to b*tch but it aint and you don't.

Umm, I would NEVER consider the Dome “perfect conditions”.

I guess if I were Oscar the grouch and lived in a trash can it might be viewed that way…

That sounds like a soft Orange perspective not a hardcore Orange (and Purple) attitude!

I feel bad for seniors on Army they where looking forward to the Cuse game. sucks that the Canadian coach has no balls.

I heard Army dropped Syracuse.

No way, all Syracuse on this one, Fyi sorry for the Canadian comment but the no balls stays.

[DMac]

Classy guy.
The Army boys have got plenty to look forward to, they'll be just fine.
Oh, and they're big boys, they don't need some POS troll to do their
talking for them. As for the no balls, that would more describe the
tough talking guy at his keyboard than the HC at Cuse.

I will tell him right to is face, he sucks

Wow, I guess you really are a tough guy then.
Sorry about the no balls part, but the POS part
stands.

That ship sailed a long time ago. And that’s coming from ME!

Never seen a rep of such a fine and honorable institution act like such a whiny victim all the time. And I know a guy who went to USMMA who was an absolute sexual predator, more or less saw the beginning of a Kids style “dorm worry Jenny it’s just me Casper” move on a borderline blacked out girl which was his style of romance as a operating standard…

Only a non nerd would have such a stupid come back, I am amazed that no Cuse fans want revenge after 2 big Army wins.

I think it's far more likely that Gait didn't notice that Army was or wasn't on the schedule.....

Schedules are mostly made in advance

I feel bad bashing a classy institution/program like Army over a troll. So I try not to do it.

Unlike the program and young men that he supposedly supports, there's always classless, salty, bitterness from Lorin.

His team doesn't mouth off or feel sorry for themselves. As an Army fan, you would think he would follow suit.

It's probably safe to say, he isn't an alum.

Yes, and for whatever reason, we always have fans who want to make hay about them, and invent "reasons" why teams are added or dropped.

In the conference era, filling your OOC schedule ain't easy. It could be as simple as they didn't have an open date for Army, and vice versa.

BTW, Army stopped playing Syracuse during the Gait era, as so many teams did. The Gaits and SU dropped 19 on them in 1988..and then poof, no Army the next two years.

It's taken years, but it's turned into a battle of a game that I really look forward to...hopefully it's renewed next year.

[kramerica.inc]

It's tough with league schedules being set in stone and prioritized these days.

I hated when the Loyola/Syracuse series ended. Those two teams battled for years. And this fall it sounds like they had a lively and competitive scrimmage.

Hopefully Toomey, Gait and Pietramala, all contemporaries and longtime coaches/friends, talked about re-upping that one. I'd love to see that rivalry renewed.

Thought Cuse fans were down on Cook and Rosa?

[DMac]

I'll just say I'm completely blown away (understating) by one of those choices.
GO CUSE...on to '23.

Too bad for both teams. Playing Syracuse in the dome is pretty awesome. Playing Army is also a great experience for the Syracuse players.

Thought Cuse fans were down on Cook and Rosa?

I think a lot of the folks on the SyracuseFan forum were and are very down on Cook. I drafted him in fantasy, and had to subsequently drop him, but I will root for him still. He has a unique skill set. The previous coaches worked to find a role for him, including face off wings, and it seems the current coaching staff love him as well. I have to believe his teammates love him too. I haven't heard the same negativity regarding Rosa, but you're probably in a different position and more aware of that since he has Hobart connections. I think Cook and Fiorini are interesting captain choices, because it seems like their roles offensive roles are diminishing. Kol is a very interesting pick, because he didn't play a ton last year and he kinda plays the same position/role as Billy Dwan, who many thought would be a 4 year starter. Is Dwan now a 1 year starter?

It's one of my favorite games, and has been for decades.

When Cook was in high school he had Hobart's Ryan Archer as his linemate. They worked extremely well together and seemed totally in sync on the field. I don't think Cook has had that kind of relationship/player to work with since he has been at Cuse. Maybe Spallina will fill that role this season.

I think it was a mid-week game usually which also made it fun. Oh well.....
