Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

An Ode to Jim Boeheim

Georgetown lost.  I lost.  And now we all lose.  As a result of a bet I made with Hoya Suxa, I am contractually obligated to pen a poem extolling Jim Boeheim.  I am never betting again, well at least not until the next time Georgetown plays Syracuse.

Submitted for the approval of the midnight society Hoya Suxa, I call this Shakespearean Sonnet : An Ode to JB.

(Poem After the Jump)

Star-divide

 


A foe and villain; friend you'll never be. 
A post-game menace; media, be warned. 
Annoying, smug, and so gosh-darn whiny.
Dare to speak against, you'll face Magoo scorn. 

But who am I to judge? From where this right?
I'm just a sad fan of the losing school.  
Success for you, by no means rare a sight.
And one HOT wife: how did you land Ms. Jules?

So Jim, to you I say deserved congrats.  
On Georgetown's home court you have won again.
While Thompson Three appeared as a rugrat.
Leave us with naught and take pride in your win.

Sustained success, one of the few to claim.
 Enjoy your due spot, in the Hall of Fame.

Well done...

But you have two left iambic feet.

Go, fight, and win.

The meter IS horrible

That’s part of your passive resistance campaign, right? Bridge over the River Kwai territory methinks.

Or perhaps the mellifluous meter

Will not submit to being tailored to a sonnet about Boeheim.

All the more testament to the man himself.

Why so Syracuse?

I'd say Shakespeare was rolling over in his grave...

…if I didn’t believe that he was a time-traveling secret agent who killed Hitler and poses as reporters in Jim Boeheim’s pressers.

Not for very long we aren't.

We’re going to wake up to someone whispering in iambic pentameter right before everything goes black.

Well, I opened this link and a clap of thunder shook my windows.

Guess we know how the universe feels about such blasphemy.

Well done

Tough pill to swallow, I’m sure. But nicely done. (Not smarmy either). I hope Wright’s hand improves and he gets to play in the NCAA.
