They play big-time football at Louisiana State University. And so when there were plenty of tickets to buy for last Saturday’s game for their Tigers to face the Orange of Syracuse up north in the Carrier Dome, the fans of Baton Rouge and the Bayou beyond did not hesitate in buying them up and traveling…
They walked to the white dome through the frozen tundra. No sled dogs or igloos. It was Syracuse basketball fans heading through the cold and snow Saturday, destination Carrier Dome. They didn’t care that their Orange will not be playing in any postseason this year because of a self-imposed penalty that may or may not…
When the defending national champions come to town still undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the country, it’s a big deal to me. So my dear wife Karen and I walked up the Syracuse University hill 90 minutes before the noon kickoff Saturday to take in the atmosphere. I had a pretty good inkling that…
Officials from Syracuse University deemed Friday the as a perfect time for an Orange Out. That is one of the striking colors in Central New York’s autumn once the leaves change. That is the team name and color the the school’s sports teams. So that was the color they asked fans to wear during their…
The idea hit me while watching defending national champion Florida State open its season by holding off Oklahoma State 37-31 Saturday night. The camera panned to a shot of the national championship trophy on the sideline. I’m pretty sure it was the tall and impressive piece that some coach and MVP will hoist over their…
Folks around Syracuse have grown quite comfortable with their Orange’s role in the Big East Tournament. The march down to Madison Square Garden was always something to talk about in Central New York. Syracuse was a charter member in 1979. The rivalries with Georgetown, Villanova and Connecticut seemed to crank up even higher during the…
. The Maryland fans in Comcast Center Sunday afternoon were prepared to witness something special during the Terrapins’ final regular season basketball game in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The students carried signs that trumpeted “61 Years.” That’s the amount of time Maryland has played against the Dukes and North Carolinas of the sporting world as…
Oh, the delicious psychology of sports. Mind games, for fans, will forever be entwined with real games. When Syracuse plays Duke in a return match tonight in Durham, N.C., which team will have the advantage above the neck? As the Orange’s first loss of the season — 62-59 to Atlantic Coast Conference lowbie Boston College…
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.…
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…
