Last week I brought you the hockey report from our visit to the Onondaga County War Memorial to see the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL. My dear wife Karen went back Friday night, just six days later, so I decided to make the historic, 61-year-old building in downtown Syracuse the star of the work on…
My dear wife Karen texted me a little past noon Tuesday. “SU BB tonight?” I knew the code. Tickets for the Syracuse Orange’s game against Loyola in the Carrier Dome were being offered at Syracuse Media Group? Fast as I could I answered “Tix for us, yes.” And received back “Sec 122 seats 11 and…
I have to hand it to Beth. For somebody who calls her blog I Didn’t Have My Glasses On, she has extremely sharp focus. Beth is a graduate of the University of Michigan. My alma mater is the University of Maryland. So when My Terrapins moved to the Big Ten to join her Wolverines for…
I’ve got season tickets to Syracuse University football in the Carrier Dome, and it was not a good season. One win, in double-overtime in the season opener against Football Championship Series Subdivision foe Villanova, and then five straight bone-numbing losses to rob fans of any sense of spirit. Maryland (OK, the win for my alma…
The college basketball season started last night. Around here, Syracuse walloped a team from Kennesaw State, 89-42. If you’re interested, you can find a report about the game here. College football cranks up again today. Most teams have three games left in the regular season, then conference championship games before the first-ever four-team playoff to…
My own shots always win out over their better-looking brothers and sisters I can find with a good Google. What with the largesse granted blogworld by Getty Images for photo use within sensible limits, one could pretty up most any post with professional portraits, landscapes, action. But still I go my own way with my…
To complete the thought on Oh, balls … I like bowling on Sunday mornings in my Thursday night league. See my previous post if that statement leaves you scratching your head. Cici’s Pizza took two of three games and total wood from the second-place team. I was happy with my first and third games, most…
It takes all kinds at Bowling Green in Cicero, N.Y. I came prepared to capture the colorful spectrum of bowling balls that roll these days at my Thursday night league just to the north of Syracuse. The other squad was dressed in matching team shirts, and not T’s, either. Our CiCi Pizza T-shirts, received at…
Fred Funk is a friendly guy. Great name, for sure. Part button-down, part soul music. Everywhere the professional golfer goes, people follow like he’s the pied piper. He’s not big and strapping like some of these dudes who bash the little white golf ball so far you can’t stand next to them by the tee…
Madison Bumgarner is bigger than life. The San Francisco Giants are the newest sports dynasty. Major League Baseball had a season to win back fans. Grand statements all, most certainly. As I watched the happy squad from the city by the Bay hop around the field in Kansas City after holding off the brash-to-the-last Royals…
