Saturday, Sept. 5: Orange football kicks off with music on the quad
Syracuse University kicks off its 2009 football season today at noon at the Carrier
Dome with a game against Minnesota under the helm of new head coach Doug Marrone. While it’s not at all musically related, it’s a pretty big deal here in the ‘Cuse and for fans all across the country. Can Marrone turn it around? Will the Orange finally have a winning season? We’ll soon find out!
To celebrate the start of the season, Isreal Hagan and Stroke will be performing at a tailgate party on the SU quad starting at 10 a.m. Wear your orange and come out and celebrate what could be the start of a great season!
