Aw shucks. I failed to live up to expectations, again
The Syracuse Fruit/Color were upset by the Butler Bulldogs in the regional semifinals. This marks the 5th time Syracuse has failed to advance past the Sweet Sixteen since 2003, when something unmentionable happened. This is also the fourth time in their last five tournament appearances that the Orange have been defeated by a lower seeded team. Some more interesting tidbits from the game.
- Former Hoya commit DaShonte Riley put up Nikita-like numbers with 0 points, 2 fouls and 1 turnover
- Andy Rautins, in his last game in Orange (until he plays for Western Moscow Fruit Flies), had two turnovers and two fouls in the final five minutes of his college career.
- Turnovers plagued the Orange, like they always have and will
- Jim Boeheim failed
I could not care less if this looks bad for the Big East. Just glad to see Syracuse sent home. Looking forward to the Orange exCUSEs for this flop.

No, no, no
That’s no goose step. That’s Jim trying to show his too-hot-for-him wife he he still has a pair, despite being emasculated – again – in the tournament.
“Look, Juli,” he’s saying. “They’re still there. I think.”
Best. TNIAAM. Comment. Ever.
with 1:00 left
When that bullshit off-the-backboard-three pointer dropped, I was screaming, fiancee yelled at me, I yelled back to "GO THE FUCK DOWNSTAIRS RIGHT NOW."
She through a Perogie at my head.
It landed in the potted plant at the corner of the room, and I picked it up. I hucked it back at her as she fled downstairs. It ended up hitting the wall way far away from the staircase. Funny thing, it bounced off the wall and landed 10 feet away right in the dog’s water dish, bouncing in.
I tried re-creating it via video, but it’s not quite the same. I’ll still post it here in a bit. Worst shot I ever made.

Hell YES!
When you have the “Down goes Duke” headline, I’ll ignore the double entendre that will naturally come to mind being that it’s Duke and the smile will have completely returned to my face. Dash Riley. Wow. Just wow. Back to Canada assholes!
They'll like us when we win!

I think..
you guys get more joy out a ‘Cuse loss than a G’Town win.
Never mistake effort for achievement.

Yeah, but it's adjusted expectations.
Our season is over…that’s just the situation. So the best-case for us now was Syracuse losing. And hey!
Why so Syracuse?
PPPPPPPPBBBBBBBBBBTTTTT!!!!!
PS, Jim Boeheim is great!

Cuse Board showing its true colors
Rick Jackson should never come back to campus
What an absolutely disgraceful performance.
Oh, and I’m not going to blame the refs for the loss (even though they sucked), but why the FUCK do they allow Andy Rautins to get raped in every game on screens, with the grabs, hip checks, etc., and never once call it? The seniors, like him, deserve a better end.

Casually.
More Cuse reactions...
Goodbye everyone.
I just packed up my gear, clothes, novelties, 2003 dvd, magnets, & flag outside my house.
I’m done. I am now thoroughly convinced Jim Boeheim has no clue how to coach in a vital situation. My family tried to warn me of this as a kid, I didn’t listen.
I spent years of my live, tens of thousands of dollars, and I’m done.
I’m almost 30 and getting married. I have more important things to do now.
Thank you Sean, you’re a great blogger, I’ll still stop in to catch your humor from
time to time.Fair thee well.

Dude, I’m with you
Almost 30 and getting married…
..read the story about fiancee throwing perogie at my head. Not cool. Better than a knife/plate/glass/etc.
I just tried to convince one of my best friend’s I’m suicidal. He told me I pull this shit once a year. He’s right.
So much better stuff to do. I just can’t figure what it is. I hate my career, I hate my little smelly balls, I hate it all!
I’m with you, man.

"I hate my little smelly balls"
Ahahaha…haha…heh…amazing display of self-loathing here.
He neglects to mention that he really hates his balls because he painted them orange. Or he caught something from shagging Otto.

The happy home
“…read the story about fiancee throwing perogie at my head. Not cool. Better than a knife/plate/glass/etc.”
I like how the “not cool” line is crossed at Perogie-throwing and not at rage-filled curse-laden ordering about of his fiancee.
Why so Syracuse?
Admit it
You once painted yours blue and grey. Or so I heard from Mrs. F.

Now
all we need is for Duke to lose and the world will make sense again.
You deserve a Roy Hibbert elbow to the face.

The sad part
is that with their bracket, not making the Final Four with Nova out early is underachieving.
They'll like us when we win!
- Toby Ziegler
Oh and Nova sucks. Forgot that part.
They'll like us when we win!
- Toby Ziegler
Made the same bet
Not feeling good about it.

'CUSE SUCKS.
Jamie Dimon isn’t visiting CUSE anymore…

Le Moyne
Butler must have watched the tape of the Le Moyne College, Syracuse game.
So happy
I know it makes me seem like a bitter person. I don’t care. I am back. I can now enjoy March Madness again because a team we easily handled during the season, a mid-major, has bounced number one (bad) seed syracuse. I am smiling again.

Suggestion for new section on the blog: SAXAENFREUD
If schadenfreude is a sense of satisfaction or pleasure felt as the result of someone else’s misfortune, then we must be able to apply this concept to our own feelings on this glorious day. I think of this feeling as saxaenfreud – the sense of satisfaction or pleasure a Hoya enjoys after a notable loss by a Big East Rival or Duke.
This morning I’m reveling in saxaenfreud!
Blog entries focusing on instances of saxaenfreud throughout the season would be an enjoyable addition for this blog.

Bravo
Jeff Green is my all-time favorite Hoya. If Greg/Chris/Austin win a national championship next year, I may reconsider. Roy is currently a close second.
BTW, that picture of Boeheim? Looks like he’s marching in Hitler’s army. Syracuse = Boehiem = Nazi = EVIL.
