While I do try to attend a Syracuse Orange (road) game every year or so, the in-person connections with the team I cover here are still usually few and far between. So when it was announced that SU would be hosting an alumni event in Los Angeles with football coach Dino Babers and athletic director John Wildhack (plus “voice of the Orange” Matt Park), of course I had to make it there.
This isn’t the first time parts of the Syracuse football team has made the trek out this way. You may recall I covered a Scott Shafer event back in April 2014.
