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.

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.
Why so Syracuse?
Not for very long we aren't.
We’re going to wake up to someone whispering in iambic pentameter right before everything goes black.
Why so Syracuse?
Well, I opened this link and a clap of thunder shook my windows.
Guess we know how the universe feels about such blasphemy.

In the spirit of good sportsmanship

Why so Syracuse?

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.
