A perfect trip into cooler weather and a glimpse of fall color hit a huge pothole late Friday night in the Carrier Dome.
We flew in to Buffalo Thursday morning and meandered our way through the Finger Lakes region of New York before settling into the hotel in Syracuse, and then woke up early enough Friday to go to Cooperstown. Cooperstown – and the drive to it – was gorgeous. Sunny with temps in the low 60’s, the leaves were an explosion of oranges, yellows and reds. In other words, a beautiful fall day.
What happened later was a fall of a different kind as Clemson teetered on the brink of total collapse four most of four quarters in Friday night’s game against the Syracuse Orange.
