This book is written for those of us who love Syracuse University and especially love the Syracuse Orange Football Team.

This is a must-have book for Syracuse fans by providing a leg up on the facts missing from the bookshelves of those who do not have this book. You will learn that the Syracuse Orange, once known as the Orangemen, are fierce and passionate competitors. From the stadium to the classroom to the research lab, the Syracuse Orange always play to win. The book first tells the story about Syracuse's founding in 1870 and quickly gets to the first football game in 1867. From there, the progression leads, to Syracuse's first football game in 1889, then to the first Syracuse coach in 1890, and of course to the great immortal Syracuse coaches-Frank "Buck" ONeill, Chick Meehan, Ben Schwartzwalder, Dick MacPherson, and Paul Pasqualoni, all the way to the current season with Coach Dino Babers. This book captures the great moments in Syracuse Football. It takes the reader through stories about the Orange's 29 coaches to great stories about 129 seasons worth of great games (1306 games) with 720 great wins.
