Great women’s game

Carolina in control. My dear wife Karen and I arrived to our home city JMA Wireless Dome early enough to catch a lot of the fourth quarter of the opening game of the day’s doubleheader. Each contest featured a No. 1 team in the country. In the women’s college lacrosse contest that kicked off the…

Just short

Another Orange save. My Maryland Terps indeed jumped out to a first-quarter lead as my dear wife Karen and I watched on in our home city JMA Wireless Dome in the battle of No. 1 vs. No. 2 in men’s college lacrosse. But Syracuse had too much on both offense and defense. The final score:…

It’s a goal!

Traveling well. The pocket of Maryland fans sitting below us were ready to show their cheer when the Terps scored a goal. Officially, our name is the Terrapins, but that would require too many letter cards to make their way to a visiting stadium, I think.

Hard-fought, indeed

Shoot that ball. The intensity was high as Maryland and Syracuse battled in front of my dear wife Karen and I in the JMA Wireless Dome in our city of Syracuse.

Anxious warmups

Gettin’ ready. Maryland was 1-0. Syracuse was 2-0. Somebody had to fall. My school had won the last nine meetings between the two teams. I watched my Maryland Terps warm up in our home city of Syracuse with some nervous butterflies fluttering in my stomach. No. 1 vs. No. 2 …

Hopeful Terp fans

Pre-game cheer. One of my Christmas gifts from my dear wife Karen was tickets to see my Maryland Terps play men’s lacrosse in the city we live, against the Syracuse Orange. I waited patiently for February to roll around for game day. Lo and behold, on that night, my squad was ranked No. 1 in…

Let it be a good bowl show

Nice try. When my dear wife Karen and I visited the JMA Wireless Dome for the Syracuse University football team’s final game of the regular season against Wake Forest on Nov. 25, fans were asked to take part in a end-of-the-third quarter hold-your-phone light show. Meh. Much has happened to raise hopes and expectations since…
