Owen sat in his Philadelphia hotel room doing work on his laptop last Thursday night, when he heard a knock at the door. When he opened the door, Owen couldn't believe what awaited him on the other side. "The whole team was standing there," Owen said. "GM (Kevin Belbey), Terrence Roberts, Mookie Jones, Eric Devendorf. Everybody was just standing there." That team would be Boeheim's Army, a squad made up of (mostly) Syracuse hoops alums that is currently a No. 1 seed in [URL='http://www.thetournament.com/']The Basketball Tournament[/URL]. Everyone was there to welcome Owen, whom Belbey and Devendorf [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2015/05/boeheims_army_rewards_the_basketball_tournament_fan_aj_owen_with_booster_trip.html']added to the roster[/URL] as a fan booster after he started a Twitter movement (@BoeheimsArmyFan) and recruited hordes of supporters for the team. Owen, 26, lives in Pittsburgh and spends his weekdays working as a digital strategist. He spent this past weekend in Philadelphia with Boeheim's Army and will accompany the team to Chicago for its Super 17 contests. ...

Whether it’s the vaunted [B]Jim Boeheim[/B] 2-3 zone, the emphasis on highlighter-bright orange, or a storied history of exciting physical battles with teams like Georgetown, Connecticut, and Villanova, Syracuse has always played its own unique brand of basketball--one that most hoops fans either love or hate. Another aspect that has developed a love/hate relationship between college basketball fans and the Orange? Syracuse fans are loud. On numerous occasions, the Orange’s fan base has been known to pack upwards of 34,000 people into their Carrier Dome, making it one of the loudest and most energetic places to play in college sports. That same passion and love for the game that has defined Syracuse basketball and its fans as some of the best in the game showed up in full force at The Basketball Tournament, where a team of Syracuse basketball alumni--named “Boeheim’s Army,” after the Syracuse coach of 39 years--took the floor in front of a raucous crowd at Philadelphia University on Sunday with the hopes of eventually scoring a million-dollar check on August 2nd. Their passion and will to win now has the ‘Cuse alums advancing to Chicago as one of the last seventeen teams remaining, on the wings of a thrilling 92-91 overtime victory against 20th & Olney, a team of recent La Salle players. “That was a tough one,” said Boeheim’s Army coach [B]Lawrence Moten[/B]. “I told the guys, it’s not going to be easy, and we’re going to have to earn it.” The high energy came out most prevalently in[B] Eric Devendorf[/B], a former ‘Cuse guard known for his “bad boy” mentality on the court, who got ejected after a courtside scuffle with 20th & Olney’s [B]Steven Smith[/B] during the overtime period. .” ...

Two small children, a 7-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl, grabbed inflatable water toys and charged into the lake, laughing. They splashed around, uninhibited, in what used to be some of the most polluted water in America. Their parents, in bare feet, played in the water with them, unfazed by the lake's decades-long reputation. A dog swam next to them, occasionally lapping up some water. "I didn't even know you could swim in here until now," said Diane Williamson, the children's mother. She didn't have any problem letting her children wade in the water. "They've been saying for 45 years you can't swim in here. And now we can." Williamson and her children were at Willow Bay in Liverpool as part of Believe in Syracuse's Clean Lake Party. The organization rallied nearly 50 local leaders ("dignitaries," as organizers described them) to jump in the lake in a show of pomp and circumstance. The goal was to [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2015/07/who_will_take_the_plunge_in_onondaga_lake_swim-in.html']change perceptions[/URL] about the water and raise awareness about its [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2015/04/onondaga_lake_is_clean_enough_for_swimming_ny_state_scientists.html']multi-million dollar cleanup[/URL]. The group plunged from a floating dock about 30 yards off the shore. Among them was former County Executive Nick Pirro, County Legislators Kathy Rapp and Tim Burtis, Town of Geddes Supervisor Manny Falcone, Solvay Mayor Ron Benedetti, East Syracuse Mayor Robert Tackman and DEC Director Joseph Martens. ...
