Around SBN: How A Letter From Tom Coughlin Helped One Fan's Recovery

A Wager with Hoya Suxa: Part Deux

After Georgetown lost to Syracuse at the Verizon Center last month, I was forced to do the unthinkable.  After my heart was broken, pieced back together during an unfathomable second half run, and then cruelly stomped on during the closing minutes of a game against a team that bears the name of a citrus fruit, I did something so traitorous that John Carroll rolled over in his grave while shedding a tear.  I penned a poem lauding Gerry McNamara, the most famous Orange oompa loompa.  The composition was forced by HoyaSuxa, a merciless and doomed soul who insisted I publicly pay my debts in full.

Now, as the third installment of the Georgetown - Syracuse saga is set take place at noon, it is time for vengeance.   And as any wounded but proud warrior would do, I emailed the dude and said let's do it again, bro.

(Details of the wager after the Jump)

Star-divide

The bet is as follows:

If Georgetown wins, HoyaSuxa will create, direct and star in a video illustrating his pain and emotion following a Syracuse loss to Georgetown.

If Syracuse wins, I will hand over the keys to this blog's most prized possession: the post-game awards.  He will gain full editorial rights for all post-game awards of the Georgetown - Syracuse game, and this blog will most likely implode.

Good talk.

Not a fair trade! Not a fair trade!

Don’t give away the farm, Poppa!

Why so Syracuse?

Booo

If we win, we get nothing of any value, I could care less about HoyaSuxa. If we lose, it will really really really really suck.

Also, its just good gambling, we should be asking for points.

In Pixar fashion...

…the video should include an animated short of Alex O apologizing for posting that effing video about Free’s diabetes.

Why so Syracuse?

by HoyaJoker07 on Mar 10, 2010 8:53 PM EST reply actions  

well...

the fact that his face is in a public video making fun of a 20-year old for learning he has a lifelong illness is punishment enough.

should probably download it before he pulls it

Good talk.

Fair point

This is why you run the blog and I drink the beers at the pregames.

Well, why you do both and I do the one.

My first reaction was very close to Joker's

But actually, you made a pretty good deal here.

We win, and he suddenly has a collection of YouTube videos that prove Syracuse fans are: one, the absolutely soulless scum of the earth; and two, cheering for the wrong team.

We lose, and we get Casual Awards that would otherwise be pretty negative anyway. Though the Cuse rah-rahing would be enough to drive me insane.

At least, that’s what I see….

Or just google

“hoyabetes” and go to the YouTube offering. Unless the search term alone tells you all you need to know about those utter w@nkers.

calm down folks

i assure you, the wager was not the reason we lost. we have lost everytime we have done SWTE and awards. since this blog has started we have actually never beaten cuse.

that being said, i hear y’all re: the bet, shant do it when we eventually play cuse again in two weeks, which seems to be the norm this season

Good talk.

Though

do it close enough to the end of the polling that they don’t have time to rustle up some CS guy to fight me.

Sadly...

I’m more interested in this wager than ’Nova’s game. Can you both lose?

Even though you only beat Marquette by 2?

Twice? And gave up a 20-point lead against them at home? Someone’s delusional and clearly has come to this global phenomenon for a large scoop of reality….

by Vee Sanford's Next-door Neighbor on Mar 11, 2010 7:39 AM EST up reply actions  

True...

I am not delusional about ’Nova’s chance as respects Marquette. Win and likely face ‘Cuse (sorry). How’d that work out for ‘Nova last time? I’m more interested in the tournament that starts next week.

As for giving up 20 point leads, which team in this league hasn’t done that this year?

wow I have nothing against trolling

but seems really random to be trolling here, since we aren’t anywhere near playing you.

Not trolling...

I enjoy this blog. If you’d rather I do not comment, I won’t.

After we trounce Cuse we’re coming straight at you so prepare to defend yourself, Esteban d’Amur.

Casually.

Seconded

We are a troll friendly blog.
