Syracuse Fans Whining Because Georgetown Selling Georgetown Tickets to Georgetown Fans

What the hell am I going to do tomorrow instead of drink all day while screaming at the tv and on my phone to all of my friends about how the Hoyas are ruining my life?

I’m perturbed. But I guess I can still drink all day and talk to my friends about how the Hoyas are ruining my life.

How your ticket office told students that they could buy 4 tickets on the 18th for over a month and then at the last second changed it to 2 tickets, ruining students plans that they had made. It was also nice of them to leave half of one section for students to get tickets, leaving a lot of fans without tickets. Thankfully my girlfriend got us tickets right at 1 so I’ll be there in orange, but several of her friends who showed up around 2:30 after classes didn’t get tickets

to your own students, not cuse fans.

for the rest of eternity.

It may be true that I didn’t get in to Georgetown and I did get in to Syracuse. It may also be true that you make/have more money than I do. Your job likely has more status than mine. I hope these facts serve as some consolation to you when you have to leave this game against Syracuse humiliated. A loser. Again. On senior day. With no home court advantage. What will always make Georgetown fans feel forever superior is the false sense that it is a Syracuse grad asking them, “do you want fries with that?” I prefer winning ballgames.

Thank you

Hey ’Cuse! We got Senators, Congressmen, Governors, a President, Wall Street moguls, Captains of Industry, Assorted attorneys, doctors, scientists and other big-wigs. George Washington spoke at our first Commencement (1795). Whatchoogot? Orange jockstraps? Huh? Huh?

Why exactly should we care about making seats available to Syracuse fans? I applaud us for making it difficult!

We’re a school that is half their size, plays in a pro arena, is located in a city that a) offers plenty of hometown sports options (both college and professional), and b) is a destination that people actually want to live in/visit. Am sure it’s a real struggle to limit the number of opposing team fans in places like Syracuse, NY and Morgantown, WV. Please… What else is there to do there?

I’m guessing ‘Cuse fans had little trouble scoring tickets to the 17 straight NY/NJ-based home and “away” games they decided to challenge themselves with to open the season. Looking forward to a very blue and grey Verizon on February 26th. Let’s go Hoyas!

‎"I think it’s a cheesy move on Georgetown’s part. They are not selling individual tickets to non Georgetown students or alum. I think it’s because they don’t want Syracuse fans to take over the building. But I say who cares? An electric atmosphere in the Verizon Center would benefit Georgetown. Somehow I have a feeling that there will be enough orange in the building anyway."

How does it feel to be called out by an impartial analyst on the topic. Cheesy kind of hurts, and even I know what that means.

You sound ashamed. Keep drinking that kool aid though.

Breathe deep and calm yourself. It’s not the last time you’ll be put in your place by the Orange this season. This time it was by me, next time likely by James Arthur Boeheim. You’d better get used to it. And I think your shame has sunk into self-loathing. It’s hard to watch.

-Syracuse fans are too dumb to understand the difference between “post” and “reply.”

-Boeheim’s full name is James Arthur Boeheim. I was unaware. “JAB” Does that explain my desire to punch him every time I see him on TV? maybe a little.

At least you’re willing to admit that you’ve been defeated. Outwitting you was surprisingly easy. So is getting Georgetown fans to spout off about how intellectually superior they are so that we can laugh at them. When it comes to finding a group to laugh at, Georgetown fans never let us down.

You know, the classy thing to do would be to accept my apology, one which I even offered in advance of the mocking I promised. If Taylor Swift can accept Kanye’s apology, surely you could have accepted mine. I’m now officially disappointed in you Esherick. I am pretty impressed by the computer wiz that did the lolcano though. Wait, did Zuckerberg go to Georgetown too??? You guys!

Furthermore, shame on all of us that didn’t think of bringing skinheads into this conversation sooner. To anybody who thinks that went a little bit overboard, have a sense of humor! Wallace, you are my new favorite person on here, and I hope I find your match.com profile. I’m sort of feeling a connection here. Now I have something to think about under that bridge you referenced. And in case you’re interested, it will be the Key Bridge ;)

and this site was not full of Duke fans whining about the policy?

Duke fans are so much better than Syracuse fans.

that he just validated all of this for us.

GLOBAL PHENOMENON!

A Couple of things i hate 1. Georgetown basketball like my father taught me to
                                    2. pretentious idiots who think they are better then the rest of society because of their deep pockets.
 Now that that’s out of the way i haven’t heard about any other problems at any other away venue. And while we are on the subject of away games last time i checked Syracuse is up by Canada( as many of you Hoya fans have pointed out) almost 6 hours away from both NYC and Jersey. Its not our fault that The Orange have a passionate fan base across the country.

I’ve sat on the sidelines of this conversation far too long. I’m from Upstate New York (Poughkeepsie) and these neanderthal Syracuse fans are giving me and upstanding, respectful people in this region a bad name. Where I’m from, people who graduate from Syracuse work primarily in the automotive industry. Grease monkey must have been an undergraduate program at Syracuse. I signed up here just to point out these facts, I hope more Georgetown fans pile on.

For a good laugh this morning, I decided to look at notable Syracuse Alumni. Talk about an oxymoron. My favorite is Aaron Goldfarb, a Syracuse Grad that wrote a book called How To Fail. Hasn’t that text been a part of the Syracuse curriculum for decades? I guess I should be impressed they can read and write.

I dont understand what is so hard about getting tickets to the game, either. I simply called a GTown alum and asked him for some lower level tickets. Of course, he probably thinks that sending me the tickets will result in him getting more business from me…. And that’s unfortunate because he’s not exactly a great trader. I actually feel bad for him right now. Taking advantage of a GTown alum isnt as much fun as I thought it would be! Dammit!

I actually got my tickets from a member of the Georgetown Athletic Department. Seems as if he didn’t care enough to go himself. I’ll be conveniently located in earshot of JTIII, yelling insults that Georgetown fans should be yelling themselves. I’m just really looking forward to this whole ticket scam blowing up in Georgetown’s face. I even have a plan in place in the event they try to have security stop anybody at the door wearing Orange.

Does anybody know where I can pick up a copy of the Duke Basketball Fan Handbook to Having No Balls?

Is it just me, or is it time for you to turn over the keys to this blog and let me run it? The Hoyas have once again been dominated by the Orange.

That’s a Syracuse grad sitting behind the President!

Next year’s Cuse game should be played in an empty arena like what happens in Italian soccer matches after fans riot, if only for the fact that I’d love to see the collective aneurysm on Cuse fans faces when no one gets tickets.

How is it that UMD fans don’t complain when they can’t get seats at Cameron Indoor, but when Cuse is frozen out of a sold out game, it’s an INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY?

Georgetown fans like to give Syracuse a hard time for not leaving the Tri-State area (New York City is closer to DC than it is to Syracuse, by the way) while Georgetown does everything they can to avoid playing against opponents based in the DC area. What you seem to be missing is that Georgetown University is so ashamed of it’s fan base that it won’t “travel” within the district, and will enact ticket policies in an attempt to maintain some sort of neutral court advantage. The administration is insulting you and you don’t even know it. On a positive note, this blog is living up to the billing as delusional. Don’t say I never paid you a compliment Esherick!
