An odd feeling filled me as my dear wife Karen and I settled into our seats in the Carrier Dome for the final time in this 2015 college football season Saturday. It looked familiar enough, a sparse crowd that the Sunday paper listed as what I figure as a bought-but-did-not-attend 30,317 in place for the…
The No. 1 college football team prevailed Saturday in the Carrier Dome. But the Syracuse Orange gave the Clemson Tigers a hard time. The final score was 37-27, and the game was wilder than that. Clemson went back to South Carolina undefeated, still hopeful of winning the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, reaching the four-team…
After my Maryland Terps beat the Iowa Hawkeyes of my blogging friend Megan in our first year in the Big Ten last college football season, I promised that our friendly wager would be a standing thing. Silly me. Her Hawkeyes thumped my squad Saturday to remain unbeaten this past Saturday. A good time was had…
As I feared, it wasn’t much of a game. Beth’s Michigan stomped my Maryland at Byrd Stadium. This will not be a good second season in the Big Ten for my alma mater. Too many interceptions thrown and passes dropped. And this Saturday my Maryland faces defending national champ Ohio State. Oy. Take it away,…
The day has arrived for the third in a series of BloggyVille wagers regarding the success of the sports teams that Beth of I Didn’t Have My Glasses On and I. Just as a refresher, and not to rub it in at all, I won the season series wager between my Triple A Syracuse Chiefs…
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…
For the third game of the 2015 Syracuse football season, my dear wife Karen got to the campus early enough to catch the festivities on the quad flanking the Carrier Dome. Hover over any gallery photo for a description. Click on the bottom right photo in any gallery for an enlarged slide show. Of course…
They stopped last Saturday’s football game between the first and second quarter to wheel a guy around the Carrier Dome field in a Pope Mobile. Well, a fancy cart, anyway. But for what he did to bring the Syracuse University football program back in the 1980s, Dick MacPherson could have been welcomed like the Pontiff.…
They called it the Orange Out. Many fans cooperated, my dear wife Karen and I knew as we were walking up the hill Saturday in preparation to watch Syracuse tangle with Wake Forest in the Atlantic Coast Conference football opener for both squads. We planned a separate route from the opening Friday night, choosing the…
On Monday night at some point, I’ll click over the widescreen to check out how defending national champion Ohio State is making out in its season opener at Virginia Tech. Yeah, the Big Ten squad has many good quarterbacks, but the Hokies of the ACC is a very sneaky squad at home at night. Friday…
