From the comment section
“To go bowling, we’ll need to win at least two out of three versus Duke, Pitt and UNC and hopefully pick off SMU and/or Georgia Tech on the road. Best of luck to SU football in 2025.”
“Wish they had these when I was in high school.”
“Syracuse sucks. Giving up my season tickets and seriously considering not buying them again until we have a new coach that can actually get the job done with some fundamentals and football knowledge. Swag on Fran Brown.”
“Was planning on going till I broke my foot 2 weeks ago! So disappointed ☹️. Let’s Go Orange! 🍊 🏈”
