It’s 100 days until the Syracuse Orange football team welcomes the Louisville Cardinals to the JMA Wireless Dome so here’s 100 things we’re looking forward to seeing next fall;
- Sean Tucker in action
- The first announcer who has to remember to welcome you to the JMA Wireless Dome, not the Carrier Dome
- Playing the “Will my Dome Dog be fresh?” lottery
- That one guy wearing a Shafer era platinum jersey in the crowd
- Watching Chris Elmore flatten an unsuspecting corner back
- Mikel Jones going sideline to sideline
- Quarterbacks looking at Garrett Williams’ side, turning to Duce Chestnut’s side, then bracing for Stephon Thompson’s hit
- Seeing if Garrett Shrader’s first deep throw connects
- Looking for the first media tweet complaining about the wi-fi
- Constant advertisements about said wi-fi
- The crowd’s nervous anticipation for Syracuse’s first punt of the year
- Being able to enjoy the game without losing 10 pounds of sweat sitting at the top of 331
- Two words; inflatable jumpies
- Fielding confused comments in the game thread thanks to number changes from last season
- The first calls for Dino to put Carlos Del Rio-Wilson into the game
- Wondering if Syracuse can start 1-0
- Sean Tucker breaking a tackle in the backfield
- Steve’s 10,000 word offensive line recaps
- Our first Dancing Floyd celebration
- Watching at home game as drunk dudes try to collaborate on a way to steal a row of bleachers before the Summer 2023 renovations
- Same goes for the seat cushions so they can actually sit in them
- When they unveil the Paul McCartney banner next to Billy Joel’s
- The first time Shrader keeps on the RPO and rounds the corner with lots of green in front of him
- The pre-game hype video that sounds like it was recorded underwater because the crowd can’t understand anything being said
- The annual Dome tin giveaway, because who doesn’t have enough of those already?
