A great many Syracuse Orange football fans are still mad about Tee Martin and the 1998 loss to the Tennessee Volunteers by a score of 34-33. And they got even saltier about it after a 33-9 loss to the Vols in 2001. But we haven’t played since, aside from a social media battle for who gets to use the orange emoji.
Well now it appears that drought will end. According to an announcement from Syracuse on Thursday, the Orange and Volunteers will open the 2025 season in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta.
