A call I’d be making today if I were Syracuse athletic director Daryl Gross would go something like this: Hey, Rex, this is Daryl Gross, Syracuse AD. Sorry to hear your bad news from the Jets today. Yeah, tough season. Us, too. Say, Happy New Year regardless. A good coach like you will find something…
My dear wife Karen texted me a little past noon Tuesday. “SU BB tonight?” I knew the code. Tickets for the Syracuse Orange’s game against Loyola in the Carrier Dome were being offered at Syracuse Media Group? Fast as I could I answered “Tix for us, yes.” And received back “Sec 122 seats 11 and…
The college basketball season started last night. Around here, Syracuse walloped a team from Kennesaw State, 89-42. If you’re interested, you can find a report about the game here. College football cranks up again today. Most teams have three games left in the regular season, then conference championship games before the first-ever four-team playoff to…
My own shots always win out over their better-looking brothers and sisters I can find with a good Google. What with the largesse granted blogworld by Getty Images for photo use within sensible limits, one could pretty up most any post with professional portraits, landscapes, action. But still I go my own way with my…
The Clemson fans booed an injured Syracuse player Saturday night as I watched the college football game from South Carolina unwind on my flat screen from the comfort of my living room up here in Central New York. More than once. So I figured it was not an accident. It did not make me happy.…
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…
It’s become the big thing to get a stadium full of fans to wear the home team’s colors. Syracuse football officials wanted a big Orange Out to help the squad build a head of steam for its Atlantic Coast Conference opener against Louisville in the Carrier Dome Friday night. Major fail. I snapped the photograph…
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…
So it was a grudge afternoon, this Saturday trip to the Carrier Dome to see my alma mater Maryland while sitting side by side with KP watching his alma mater Syracuse. Not so much. First off, through 30 years of the best of and worst of stuff, a football game between our old schools felt…
Maryland and Syracuse both played at noon Saturday, games televised on networks available to me, and I was ready with m flatscreen for the Orange vs. Central Michigan on ESPN News and my iPad for the Terps vs. West Virginia on the Big Ten Network. The Syracuse game kicked off first. And I stared hard…
