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…
That was some bowl day for me Friday. One down, one up. My alma mater Maryland lost in the Military Bowl by falling apart defensively in the final quarter. I was not happy. My 30-year hometown team Syracuse took the Texas Bowl title with a last-minute touchdown against Minnesota. I danced around the living room.…
Later this afternoon, my dear wife Karen and I will head off to the Carrier Dome to witness the Syracuse University football team’s final game of this 2013 regular season. The Orange needs to beat Boston College to even its record at 6-6 and become eligible for a bowl bid. We will be rooting. Us…
Basketball season has begun, and that’s a good thing here in Central New York. In fact, many fans are sure that it is Coach Jim Boeheim’s men’s basketball team that drives the Orange bus. Last night, my good friend MIke Waters and I had the chance to talk with a whole bunch of Orange fans.…
When it came down to one lineman pushing and another shoving, my loyalty came through Saturday afternoon as dear wife Karen and I sat at the bar at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill in Destiny USA watching my alma mater and my hometown squad tussle on the football field. The prior game…
It’s “Sportsmanship Week in the ACC,” the announcer intoned, explaining to those of us wondering just why the players from these two college football teams were standing wide, almost end zone-to-end zone, facing each other quite near the center of the field and ready to take those last couple of strides to shake hands. All…
The last time I took a look at the Syracuse football squad here, the Orange was coming off a 49-14 loss to Clemson in front of a just-about-full Carrier Dome in its first game ever in the Atlantic Coast Conference. I said that the two road games in between would go a long way toward…
Syracuse football fans really wanted to be in the big-time Saturday afternoon in the Carrier Dome. For the Orange’s first ACC game ever, some 49,000 folks — the biggest Carrier Dome crowd in a dozen years — roared to make it the loud house, better to make it hard for Clemson’s offense to hear or…
The ACC fun starts Saturday. Big-dog Clemson visits the Carrier Dome. Orange-wearing Tajh Boyd and Sammy Watkins will use their burner speed against the (blue-wearing?) Orange. I will be there to witness my hometown team, Syracuse, play its first game in the league I have been following since my college days at the University of…
Relish the points put up the last two games by the Syracuse football team, all 108 of them. That sort of offensive dominance doesn’t happen much around these parts. Terrel Hunt sure looks good as the Orange quarterback. I finally got to see Syracuse with my own eyes Saturday in the Carrier Dome, having missed…
