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?
