Syracuse Orangemen
Syracuse University's sports teams are
officially known as the Orange, although the former (until 2004) names
of Orangemen and Orangewomen are still affectionately used. The school's
mascot is Otto the Orange. The teams all participate in NCAA Division I
in the Big East Conference. The men's basketball, football, and men's
