March Madness is a beautiful time of year in sports. People get their brackets out, warmer weather, plus hope and intrigue for the Syracuse football team.

Time to get excited!

Ah finally March has arrived!  Every year about this time people look forward to spring blooming, warmer weather and March Madness.

There is another rarely heard from group the ‘Silent Majority’.  Settle down, settle down I did not mean to get your Hillary Clinton panties in a bunch, or maybe I did, I am not talking about the

group that set America on the path to Greatness again (easy my left wing friends calm down and get a drink with the cast from La La Land to console yourself).

I am talking about the die-hard Football fans out there that are looking forward to the Syracuse spring football game.

Syracuse spring football practice starts on March 21st!  The Orange spring campaign will consist

of 14 practices culminating with the spring game scheduled for April 22th at 10 AM in the Carrier Dome.

If you have never been I highly recommend it as there is reasons for all to attend that I will outline.

  • For the penny pinchers out there the game is entirely FREE!  Attendance and parking is free for the Spring Game and in seasons past the Dome has given away a free hot dog and drink to all who attend.  (not sure if that will be done this year but you are getting in for free)
  • For the people out there that are interested in becoming season ticket holders, all available seats are flagged so you can sit in the seat and watch the spring game and take the flag on the seat and purchase your tickets that day!  It is like a test drive for your seats.  I have personally done this several times.
  • While for the die-hard fans and kids after the spring game fans are allowed onto the field.  You get the opportunity to roam the sidelines.  There are photo opportunities with all the players and you may be able to sneak an autograph or two.  My son and I went last year and got our picture taken with #Dungey4Heisman and no Paul I did not try to crop you out of the picture.
  • For everyone this is an opportunity to see Orange is the New Fast Version 2.0 which by itself would be enough for me to attend.

While in summary get pumped up because the spring game is right around the corner.  In the meanwhile I have heard from a reliable source that there may be a few basketball games to watch between now and then; but again I am a football guy.  I have to go I DVR’ed the NFL combine.
