Syracuse vs ND at Yankee Stadium

[NotInRHouse_anon]

We certainly aren’t remotely NY’s team.
Guarantee you, Syracuse is far more popular in NY than us right now.

That doesn't vary on a yearly basis. We have more alums in the city, end of story.

Syracuse playing ND in a meaningful game in our own backyard, while we’re stink to high heaven.

NYC or the metro area doesn't care about college football .......

That said I hope Sadexcuse ends ND's playoff chances

Are we metro area?
If so, you obviously weren’t around in 2006

Not better than #3 and # 12 teams playing but UCF hasnt lost in two years and Cincy is 8-1. They earned it. Plus ND's affliation with NBC.

They have earned it, but it's more about weak' a jo b schedule and NBC. UCF fans were pumped for Temple game. They'll bring a great atmosphere. ESPN already did South Bend this year. With game being home ND game, I'm sure ESPN hates feeding NBC. If it was Cuse home game on Disney, its a no brainer

Everyone takes notice of a once-every-100-years event

I assume that means if Rutgers wasn’t so incompetent and could manage to maintain a level of excellence and relevance, we’d be pretty popular around here!!

I have been around since 1975 thanks....
And the "metro area" cared until we lost to Cinncinati
WFAN hardly ever mentioned us.

I think Rutgers would be popular, but in a pro town you need to create events. Consistent winning will provide the right base line. RU has a legit fan base. Need to have the ranked matchup. If RU is ranked when #4 Michigan comes to town, campus is electric all week. Things like Gameday happen. Tickets are a commodity. Look at BC-Clemson last week. That should happen at Rutgers every few years with BIG opponents.

Canada's team you mean

No, they have passed RU and we are long gone in their rear view mirror.
Cuse has New York. Hobbs blew it.

Correction Zap - I meant to say that Syracuse has only one win over an FBS team in 2018 with a winning record and with ND and BC coming up that may be all they do get this year.

Granted Babers has done a nice job but they also fell into a very favorable schedule this year. 5 of their wins are against teams in the dumper this year...UNC (1-8), Wagner(3-7), UCONN (1-9) , Florida State (4-6 after tonight) and Louisville (2-8).

And Ash has one win in 3 years over a FBS team with a winning record. 7-6 Purdue team.
