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…
This is the Saturday where the Syracuse University football team shows why new head coach Scott Shafer has kept the faith. Or else. If the Orange doesn’t look very, very good against the Wagner Seahawks in the Carrier Dome, fans around these parts will give up on the season. A mark of 0-3 and it’s…
Did you get into that first weekend following ACC football, Orange Nation? It was long. Mine started at 12:30 Saturday, when my alma mater Maryland kicked off — then kicked butt, putting up 40 points in the first half, thank you for coming back so ready from that ACL tear, QB C.J. Brown — and…
College football sure moves fast these days. And I’m not only talking about the lightning speed in which the players motor toward and away from other, or the dash to the line of scrimmage without a huddle to start the next play. As Syracuse University followers count down to Saturday’s opener against Penn State down…
Mike Waters and I took in FanFest from a different perspective Friday night outside Manley Field House. As the Syracuse University football followers crowded to the bleachers and stood along the fence to watch the Orange scrimmage as part of this celebration of a new season on the horizon, Waters and I stayed behind the…
After the first book, if you’re lucky enough, comes the first book-signing event. My special occasion arrived Saturday, at Columbus Circle in downtown Syracuse, as big crowds filled three city blocks during the annual Arts and Crafts Festival. I sat next to Mike Waters, my veteran co-author who’s written a tidy and growing number of…
