I'll be happy just splitting those games because later on down the road, the brain trust at SU decided it would be a good idea to visit Notre Dame. I know they sucked last year, but so did we. Should be quite the ratings spike for NBC.<br /><br />Here is the complete run-down:<br /><br />August 30 at Northwestern<br />September 6 AKRON<br />September 13 PENN STATE<br />September 20 NORTHEASTERN<br />September 27 PITTSBURGH<br />October 4 Open<br />October 11 at West Virginia<br />October 18 at South Florida<br />October 25 Open<br />November 1 LOUISVILLE<br />November 8 at Rutgers<br />November 15 CONNECTICUT<br />November 22 at Notre Dame 2:30 p.m. NBC<br />November 29 at Cincinnati<br /><br />With 12 games, I suppose we have a chance at becoming bowl eligible, but other than Akron and Northeastern, I'm not sure where we'll find those wins. At least opening day is on my birthday. Let's go Orange!jlukinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17837963214641501692noreply@blogger.com0
