That helps with selling tickets, and at last an easy win on our schedule.

I despise Syracuse as much as the next guy (especially after getting booed in the bathroom of the Dome when I went up there with UCMB), but I'm more than ecstatic that get a series with them.

Didn't they already announce this last month?

Didn't they already announce this last month?

It leaked and the AD confirmed it was in the works but not signed yet. Now it's official.

I'm thinking we don't give them the return game.

The following is a summary of future American Athletic Conference opponents through 2018:
2016
Home: UCF, Cincinnati, Temple, Tulane
Away: East Carolina, Houston, Navy, USF
Does Not Play: Memphis, SMU, Tulsa

2017
Home: East Carolina, Memphis, USF, Tulsa
Away: UCF, Cincinnati, SMU, Temple
Does Not Play: Houston, Navy, Tulane

2018
Home: UCF, Cincinnati, SMU, Temple
Away: East Carolina, Memphis, USF, Tulsa
Does Not Play: Houston, Navy, Tulane

How is it that they don't play Houston, Navy, or Tulane two years in a row? Seems like some really lazy scheduling... maybe they're just assuming UConn won't be in the AAC by 2018 and will need a new schedule anyway!

2016 home schedule is pretty good. All opponents worth watching

Lets hope that two of the of the non conference games in 2019,will be scheduled conference games .

Or it becomes a conference game. I'd love the B1G but I'd be fine with the ACC too

We beat them bad enough then they beg off and go looking for a cream puff
