Walking to and from the first Syracuse University home college football game, I noticed a big building project.

Impressive it will be.

It’s very close to Crouse Hospital, so my dear wife Karen said she’d noticed it in the months she worked there during this past winter.

Me, I’d seen not a sign of it last football season.

Looming large.

Yet already it’s becoming a significant sight.

A contender soon.

Right behind the important stretch of Marshall Street, this new building stretches wide and stands tall.

Suddenly it hit me. As coach Dino Babers builds this third season under his leadership, going into today’s big game in the dome against Florida State, perhaps this new building going up stands as a metaphor for our Syracuse Orange.
