Yesterday,
the Syracuse Orange—they used to be the Orangemen until certain bloody WASP
connotations forced a change—opened their season against Rhode Island. We sat gathered around Michele’s ipad to
watch in the living room. Final score: Syracuse 47, Rhode Island 0.
Like
Clare, her boyfriend Chris has made the jump to NCAA Division I via coaching. Every once in a while we caught a glimpse of
him on the sidelines, his head set on, his face an intense shade of red. Chris is just a kid, really. But now he doesn’t have the luxury of
screwing up the way a kid will from time to time.
Despite
the pressure that comes with the job, Chris called Clare from the locker room
right after the game. You could say it
was their “Rocky” moment.
