A Sea Of Red

The beatdown Auburn gave us along with Gill running the same plays over and over expecting different results was more embarrassing than your Firestick.

The other is a 6'3" Sophomore. Both of their Safeties are 6'0" as well giving us a bit of a height advantage. Even though the 5'11" CB is a senior I feel like AGG could really make life difficult on him. Also interesting note, they don't have one DL starter (and only one on the two-deep) weighing in at 300lbs. If our run game gets going and we are able to go straight at them rather than letting them use their quickness we could work up a bit of momentum.

They play man and zone. BTW, the Defensive Backfield is very solid. Several of them will be NFL players. Cisco made All-American as a Freshman. You will have better luck running at us. Our DE's however are one of the best tandems in College Football (they will both get drafted). Depth is an issue at Defensive Tackle as one of our starters will most likely not play at Liberty. Our Linebackers are probably the weakness of the unit. However, Dino Babers feels this is the best defense in his four years here.

Syracuse Special Teams is a huge strength too. Groza Award winner (as a Freshman), Senior punter who Coach Babers thinks will be in the NFL, great kickoff and Punt return team units.

I actually think beyond turning the ball over special teams is the next most important area. We were so so bad the last few years and it seemed to be a strength for the orange.

If we have no more than 1 turnover and we play solid special teams then i believe it will be close. We match up vs them fairly well on offense. Defensively we are much more mismatched provided the change of the qb and 3 starting lineman is smooth. If its not smooth then we have a great shot.

UVA and Tech are on the road week 1. How much do you think that helps our attendance ?

FYI. Syracuse QB was 15-16 180 yards in Spring game. Not sure if that was all against their 1st team D which has a 1st team All-America safety.

Chippy, you are a stick in the mud, party pooper, and so on.
Quit trying to dilute my Kool Aid!

Looks like they are doing student wristbands for the Syracuse game. I'm a bit out of the loop but this would be the first time they've done wristbands, correct?

At least from 2014-2018, my glorious heyday, they never had to do that for students. They were happy to see the student section fill up in my day. This shall be quite a glorious event if even student section seating is expected to be at full capacity!

So we can honestly say the student section will be counted at 7000. Sections 104-106 and 204-206 are about 98% sold. Club is sold out.

Syracuse brings 2k with them.

That really leaves half the stadium as single game sales. That’s actually amazing and terrifying. What more does the flames club have to do to convert to season tickets.

Not much they can do because of our culture. So many people are used to free or discounted last minute tickets.

The only thing that’ll convert more season tickets is people showing up to higher game day pricing for less desirable seats.

There’s gonna be a lot of ticked off people who won’t be able to get free tickets to this game. Phone calls will be made. Emails will be sent. Tizzies will Be had And indignation’s will be rampant

Yeah, even Ballcoach paid for them this year. lol

Got a note a couple of days ago, said do to a printing problem season tickets will not arrive the LU ticket office until the 29th. Said they were going to send "next day mail" if you live out of town and want them that way.

I just called. Some tickets were not included in the file sent for printing. Fortunately mine were, which is the reason I did not get the above referenced email. #PTL #Blessed

So when do we actually get the tickets?

October. lol

They said the day before the game. They said contact the office if you live outside the 'Burg and will be coming to see the game. Then the person can pick up their tickets at the office.

My email said that I'm getting them tomorrow via UPS.

I will get mine today via UPS. A large number of the order to the print shop did not go. So only half of them were printed. The others will be printed and shipped next week. Call the ticket office if you want to see if yours were part of the batch not printed.

I guess I should start taking an interest. Ha
