Syracuse Football: Waxing poetic on Rutgers heading to the Hill

Syracuse football will host Big Ten Conference member Rutgers in about a month.

I asked and it seems that my first Syracuse football preview was enjoyed by most

So I’m back to bring you yet another fun preview poem post

Week 2 we play a team from Jersey that Cuse fans know all too well

As the Rutgers Scarlet Knights return to our football schedule

I promise no Jersey Shore references or Bon Jovi or the Boss

Or discussing where the Sopranos enjoy their bolognese sauce

Greg Schiano is back as their head coach in Piscataway

After a 3-6 season, they’ll be looking to return to winning ways

This game should be a test for both teams to see where they stand

So I hope the place is the Loud House of old and sold out with fans

Quarterback Noah Vedral battled ankle injuries most of last year

But if healthy, he and receiver Bo Melton could unfortunately be a nightmare

I hope Tommy DeVito and staff are aware of number 16 Max Melton

He’s my pick for the defender most likely to make a big impression

Whether it’s DeVito or Shrader, I have faith though they’re in good hands

And either way, provide plenty of excitement and big plays to the fans

This will also be the Syracuse football home opener on Saturday, September 11

A chance for Cuse fans to finally return to our Loud House Heaven

It’s scheduled to be a 2 pm starting time for the first game at home

If you don’t eat first, try the concessions in the newly renovated Dome

Ticket prices range from $35 to $75 if you can afford to attend

Or season tickets from $125 to $500 still for sale if that’s what you intend

Can’t make it to the game in person? Kindly save your frustration

It’ll be available via radio on TK99 and an ACC Network station

I do miss when I could catch Syracuse games on channel 5

Now it depends on what cable package you have or your wifi

My desire is not to give Rutgers any bulletin board quotes

But would I be happy if Cuse wins and is now 2-0? Totes!

So on Josh Black! On Cooper Lutz! On Garrett Williams and Taj Harris!

Let’s Go Orange and may this be the start of a season that’s victorious!

GO ORANGE!
