The Syracuse Orange, previously nicknamed Orangemen, is Syracuse University's college football program currently playing in NCAA Division I-A's Big East Conference. The team officially began play in 1889 as an independent team and turned out several winning seasons in the early 1900's. Their first major accomplishment came in 1952, participating in the Orange Bowl on a losing cause. The Orange's first breakout season though came in 1959, when it turned out an undefeated season, won the Cotton Bowl over Texas, and claimed their only National Championship thus far. This team featured the late Ernie Davis, who was also the 1961 Heisman Trophy winner.

Since joining the Big East Conference in 1991, Syracuse has also won four conference championships (1996,'97,'98 and 2004) and appeared in nine Post Season Bowl Games, raising its total to twenty-two (22) Bowl Game appearances, taking the Bowl trophy home in 12 occassions.
