Syracuse-Georgetown Day!
Syracuse fans are thrilled to be going to the ACC next year. But one of the downsides is the end to a rivalry like this. Over the years this has been THE game for both Syracuse and Georgetown fans. Today at 4pm on CBS the last ever Big East game at the Carrier Dome between these two storied programs.
Football rules college athletic decision making – but don’t tell that to the 34,000 fans that will pack the Carrier Dome today. With the nation’s longest home winning streak on the line, what Syracuse fan doesn’t remember the last game at Manley Field House when John Thompson concluded with saying Manley Field House was officially closed? How about the Classic 1990 game where JT was ejected?
This ranks up there with NC-Duke. All Big East fans will miss this rivalry. Today will be college basketball at its best. I hope all the ACC fans get a chance to take a look at this game today and see the Carrier Dome experience as new rivalaries get set to begin next year.
Anyone with other great SU-Georgetown moments they remember?
The Confidential 
35,000 fans–should be the most people to EVER attend an on-campus basketball game.
Ever.
you’re supposed to be the SU guy – UNC-Duke rivals this not the other way around! 🙂 Aside from that, its 35,012 and SU-G’town play again in DC on March 9.
I remember an SU G’town game when a cheer leader, Michelle Munn, fell from a pyramid hitting her head on the floor. The huge crowd went silent and the only thing you could hear were her screams of pain
The game at MSG where Michael Graham punched Andre Hawkins sticks out. Do they have Youtube of the JB presser afterwards? That was right up there with 10 F*ing games.
Carmelo getting his jersey retired today. Wish I could have made the game but, quite a site with all the orange.
Not a good outcome for the ‘Cuse but a classic game with Georgetown and 35,012 in attendance!
Syracuse needs a new offensive coordinator
