A Tradition Unlike Any Other: The Wager with Hoya Suxa

PrintIt's that time of the year again. When all our hootin' and hollerin' about Georgetown and Syracuse is played out on the court and the Big East's most legendary rivalry takes the national spotlight. It's also time for the third installment of our wager with Hoya Suxa.
For those of you new to this nonsense, our first bet was on the Syracuse-Georgetown game at the Verizon Center last year, after which I was forced to pen the horrific Ode to Gerry McNamara. The second wager was on the Big East Tournament matchup, and resulted in HoyaSuxa scripting, directing and starring in one of the greatest short films of our generation. This year, the stakes are higher as we both have agreed to hand over access to our most-prized possessions...
(More Details After the Jump)
- If Georgetown wins, HoyaSuxa will publish five Daily Affirmations in support of Georgetown or against Syracuse in the days leading up to the Saturday Syracuse Showdown on February 26th.
- If Syracuse wins, HoyaSuxa gets to write the Casual Awards after Wednesday's game. I won't read them because I will likely be dead from the shots of Kerosene ingested the night before.

If you go over there, follow the same advice Keeley gave his readers:
All I ask is that you remember this is fun. So have fun. Talk smack, crack jokes, banter…just don’t be an a**hole. You know the line, walk it, tiptoe it, dance on it, but please don’t cross it.
Good talk.

At this rate
they will be wagering the names of their unborn children next year.
Although Patrick Ewing nunes does have a nice ring to it.

YOU FOOL
The sight of our precious ‘Chris Wright Heart of a Champion’ being given to Brandon Triche may be too much for me. This game is now rated: MUST WIN
Seriously though
Great bet: I actually love those daily affirmations, and Hoya Suxa is clever enough to make the awards a worthy read (if likely, very, very painful)
hmm, usually casual awards = precious little speck of consolation after crushing losses
this could have some pretty bad morning-after consequences
by that i mean we will definitely win, yep.
"pretty bad morning-after consequences"
was too big a mouthful, so they nicknamed him “Scoop.”
Why so Syracuse?

For every Gerry McNamara, there are three Eric Devendorfs.

My lord. This lends itself to so many (more) dirty jokes.
But I’ll be a good girl and keep my mouth shut.
Should have wagered

I think
We will beat Syracuse, beat the Kembas, and lose to Marquette.
Would everyone be happy with that?
My handle used to be Jeff Green's Dad, but it was confusing and creepy, namely because I am not his dad. My new handle is JGD. I am trim and in charge.
hoyas on the road according to jon rothstein
Good talk.

wow so conflicted....
this guy picked the Hoyas, so I liked that…
yet his analysis is horrible, so hard to take his prediction seriously.
the key to Gtown playing better is not that “we started making our shots,” its that we have shored up our defense, which is utterly ignored by Rothstein. Also ignored is the fact that we haven’t won @Syracuse in 9 years, kind of an important thing to factor in.

Think he's right about Jackson though
that could be a doozy
by More like Awesome Freeman on Feb 7, 2011 2:25 PM EST up reply actions
Oh, Jackson's going to destroy us.
Unless Nate and Julian have career games. They could both play in a completely satisfying way and Jackson would still get his. We need to answer the zone.
Why so Syracuse?
agree
jackson will have a big day. need to stop others from scoring. need big day from benimon – he is really the only one with size that can take on joseph. bump him up, keep him out of paint, benimon should foul of this game.
Good talk.

i wouldn't have a problem if moses also fouled out of this game
rick jackson is not going to beat the hoyas from the foul line
Casually.
Hollis on Joseph
is almost a perfect matchup for us methinks
6’ 7" – 205 lb vs 6’ 7" – 207lb
Josephs got 2 lbs on him, but that’s it

Thought you were saying Jackson, not Joseph
I would have greeted you at home this evening with a slap in the face.
Why so Syracuse?
Can't use the same strategy with Jackson as we did with Brooks
Specifically, accept that he’s going to have his way with us and try to win the game by effectively covering & matching up with everyone else on the team.
His skillset is different than Brooks’, so it’s not a direct comparison – he is not going to score 40+ points. However, his inside play (rebounding, specifically) could facilitate that many points if he’s distributing well to his teammates. He’s dangerous.

That video last year was fantastic.
