Syracuse is extremely passionate about their team.

Before you throw up your arms in disgust, hear me out. There are several things that are staples in Central and Upstate New York - halfmoons, greens and tomato pie, hiking and camping the Adirondacks, cheering on the Orangemen, running the Boilermaker. Everyone rants and raves about it all; how great the food tastes or how fun the great outdoors is.

There is a big football game on Saturday at noon on ABC-TV. It features #14 Syracuse taking on #5 Clemson. This is the best Syracuse Orange football team in at least the last 4 years and maybe in decades. Clemson football star head coach, Dabo Swinney, may have summed it up best on Tuesday, “Dino’s got ‘em going, man. He’s got an offense that can score. He’s got a scheme that creates challenges.” Handsome praise from a coach that has enjoyed the highest pinnacle in college football.

The 20th anniversary of the 2003 Syracuse Men's Basketball National Championship win is almost here. We know where Gerry McNamara and Carmelo Anthony are now but what about the rest of the team?

The 2002-03 Syracuse Orange, led by Carmelo Anthony, went on a title run through Albany's Pepsi Arena that fans still talk about to this day.

Did you catch a recent episode of Jeopardy! that featured a question about something in Central New York?

Boeheim’s ARMY will return to the Basketball tournament that it has participated in for past seven years with a new roster and help from local businessman Adam Weitsman.
