Isn’t it quite a good thing when a community comes together in spirit? The Syracuse men’s basketball team is 22-0, and the unanimous Associated Press poll choice as the No. 1 college team in the nation. The Central New York community is rallying around this squad. And it has been one huge wave of support.…
I know good marketing when I see it. My Favorite Sports Store had a quick thinker out front on Monday morning. The T-shirt, jersey, collectable and more emporium in the Syracuse, N.Y., mega shopping, entertainment and dining complex Destiny USA had a full table of boxes out front. To the left sat Seattle Seahawks stuff,…
So how was the Super Bowl celebrated in our Syracuse city neighborhood home? Food was heavily involved, of course. Yup. Flat screen, football and food. The Sunday spectacular started with an appetizer of my choice: a bowl of shrimp sitting next to another bowl of cocktail sauce, perfect for super dipping. I stood next to…
What was it like not being one of the 35,446 people jammed into the Carrier Dome on Saturday night to see Syracuse beat Duke 91-89 in overtime? If you were one of the 680 folks packing the Palace Theatre on James Street, it was pretty darn fine. The drama played out on the movie screen…
People in Syracuse, N.Y., have been talking about this college basketball game since the schedule was announced. The Syracuse Orange plays the Duke Blue Devils in the Carrier Dome, with tipoff at 6:30 p.m. T-shirts have been sold to mark the occasion. Students have been camping out in the bitter cold for more than two…
A Super Bowl primer for people of many lands. I first posted this on Monday. Then I thought: Let’s give folks who want to join in the big Super Bowl spectacle on Sunday but aren’t quite up on the nuances another shot at my attempt to enlighten.
Even for a last-place team, the ultimate can happen anytime on the bowling lanes. Last night, our sub bowler, Ron Fox Jr., rolled a perfect 300 in the second game of three. Way to go, Ron. It was exciting, watching his powerful ball knock down all 10 pins, 12 throws in a row. All the…
It seems like every man, woman and child in America watches the Super Bowl, no? The championship game for the National Football League has become a national holiday. Edition XLVIII, as the NFL has come to list each game, features the Denver Broncos vs. the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, in MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford,…
I loosened up the old golf swing this week. The temperature was at zero when I pulled out of my driveway for the trip to the Syracuse, N.Y., mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA. I had wisely, I thought, moved my clubs from the back porch into the house some 10 hours earlier…
It was a big and happy crowd Saturday at Rosie’s Sports Pub and Grille in Syracuse. That’s where my latest blog gig, writing about the Central New York community for Syracuse Public Media site waer.org, took me. More specifically, that’s where I decided me dear wife Karen and I would go to watch the Syracuse…
