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!
