PrintOur bestest blog friend decided to devote some time today to show off his photoshop skills and rail on Georgetown's efforts to utilize the REVOLUTIONARY Groupon to sell tickets to the Hoya faithful.
Well, there's no need for photoshop here.

Judging from the popularity G-Mac and Devendorf
They also like athletes with shaved heads and trashy looks.
So here’s a little Cuse bait!
Why so Syracuse?

My own family has known the Rautins family for nearly 40 years now. For example, I know what Leo ate growing up, so it only makes this picture funnier…

In an attempt
to distinguish the honorable residents of upstate New York from the lawless hoodlums who seem to frequent the Dome, I offer a copy of a note my grandmother and lifetime Syracuse resident sent me after a few fellow Hoya fans and I drove up for the game two years ago (the bottles into the Gtown student section game – even tho we were sitting on the opposite side of the arena)
“You may be aware of what happened Saturday. I apologize to you and your friends that the SU fans were so unruly. I don’t know why the students at any of the schools can’t follow the Golden Rule. They are all old enough to know better.”
Rochester crime rate is like double that of 'Cuse. Lawless Hoodlums...HA!
And I’m 95% sure the Gtown folks that were hit with bottles sat in the SYRACUSE student section….just sayinnnnnnn
It’s not right either way though. Fans are fans, physical abuse isn’t right even if it is a heated rivalry.

That was the first ORANGE OUT! We ORANGED OUT THE DOME, and you Gtown fans showed up, you were such a cute little group. Your whole group looked like a postage stamp on an ORANGE moon. And you lost!!!

Really the only card Gtown has to play is '' Do you know who went to school here?!'' Or '' Your school sux donkey balls you idiot! Hahahaha !'' Cuz their basketball team has gotten spanked by Cuse this past decade.
When you result to non basketball related smack in a basketball rivalry, you know it hasn’t been a good run for you.
Oh, and Rochesterhoya, you are a shame to Upstate, Nyers. A rochester hoya fan? Are you a masochist?
Define "spanked" in the last decade
Because tournament record, draft picks, and overall record since JT3 started at Gtown beg to differ.

When Upstait said 'spanked by Cuse'
I assumed he was talking about head-to-head matchups, which is where every Cuse/GTown discussion should begin and end anyway.
And in the past decade, from 2001-2011, GTown is 7-12 vs. the Orange.
I hope this helps.
head to head matchups arent the only things reflective of the state of the programs.
gtown lost to cuse in 2007. oh well, they still won the conference regular season and tournament titles and went to the final four.
Good talk.

Since this is a generational thing
Shouldn’t we use the all time series record, conference championships (regular season) and conference champions (tournament)?
We’ll leave out “all time squads” because, honestly,
Center – Ewing – Seikaly (Eqing)
Power Forward – Mourning – Coleman (Mourning)
Small Forward – Williams – Owens (Slight edge to Reggie due to defense)
Shooting Guard – Sleepy Floyd – Dave Bing or McNamara (Bing maybe? Gerry not so much)
Point Guard – Charles Smith – Sherman Douglas (Head to head Sherm was Smitty’s Bitch)
One and done Sixth Man – Graham – Anthony (Anthony)
Defensive Specialist (big) Dikembe – Thomas (Dikembe)
Defensive specialist (Guard or wing) – Gene Smith
Electifying scorer for luck – Allen Iverson – Rauten or Eric D. Yeah, We know the Answer.

Well see, you didn't leave out all time squads at all.
You left out all the other stuff where we beat you more.
And hoodathunk you pick all Gtown players as having the edge. You could at least pretend to be objective if you are going to analyze.

What do you want me to say?
That Scoop Jardine is awful? That the loss to Seton Hall was embarrassing? That Fab Melo has been a bust?
I can say all that…but since sportswriters have covered all of those things, I’d rather branch out.
Why so Syracuse?
Pattern of Argumentation
1: SU fan – “Orange basketball is better”
GU fan – “Gtown basketball is better”
argument goes into reasonable but heated basketball discussion, potentially turns into…
…2: SU fan – “[Hoya player/coach] is soft/sucks”
GU fan – “[Orange player/Boeheim] is a dirtbag/overrated”
if face-to-face, screaming match/fight erupts; if on internet message board…
…3: SU fan – “Your fans suck because you don’t show up enough”
GU fan – “Your fans suck because you’re garbage”
and finally
4: SU fan – “Well Gtown sucks because [invents reason]”
GU fan – "Well SU sucks because [procures academic/professional comparison]
game over
The basketball is the best part of it, win or lose, but pissing you off is fun too.

And Cuse fans only know how to whine
About games, opponents, tickets and now talking smack.
How about this “donkey”: since conference expansion, six big east teams have made the elite 8, and four the final four. NONE are syracuse. being ranked #1 for one week doesnt excuse the fact cuse is a mediocre conference team

Former SU fan
I am also from Rochester and used to be a cuse fan. I was still a cuse fan despite being a student at Georgetown. Do you know why that changed? Because cuse fans are vile assholes. I went to a cuse/gtown game at the dome a few years ago wearing a gtown hat and was treated like absolute shit. Don’t get me wrong, I love rivalries, competition and smack talking but this was beyond anything considered normal basketball smack talk. Some jerk actually threw a cup at me and the person I was with who was a cuse fan wearing orange gear. Keep it klassy, cuse fans.
You deserve a Roy Hibbert elbow to the face.

There are always a few bad apples
I myself attended the 2008 and 2009 games up in the Dome decked out in Gtown gear along with several similarly clad friends. I never have had any problems with the Cuse fans I was sitting next to, which I think was because (1) I was on the side of the arena across from the student section in the absolute nosebleeds and (2) the Hoyas were down by a considerable margin for much of the game. Of course, once Georgetown started to go on a run in both of those games, the polite banter back and forth chilled a bit.
Now I can say I personally have not had any problems with opposing fans at the Dome, but HoyaJoker has had some slightly different experiences…

''Define "spanked" in the last decade Because tournament record, draft picks, and overall record since JT3 started at Gtown beg to differ.''
Well, head to head is in favor of Cuse during the JT3 era. Draft picks? Since 2004 Syracuse has produced Hakim Warrick, Demetrious Nichols, Donte Greene, Jonny Flynn, Wes Johnson and Andy Rautins. Georgetown has produced Hibbert, Green, Summers and Monroe. So none of those are in JT3’s favor. Don’t know where you are going with this but you are starting to sound like a fat dumb person Georgetown fans like to characterize Syracuse fans as.
how many times have u made it past the sweet 16?
6 big east teams have since expansion.

Arguing about which school is better or which has more fans is stupid...
and both questions have clear answers.
Georgetown is clearly a better school, because of its better reputations based on a larger endowment/resources:student ratio, noted professors in a large numbers of fields, and its location in a major city. It has NOTHING to do with this basketball game.
Syracuse clearly has more fans because they have a larger enrollment, because the university is one of the largest entities in the city, and because people from Syracuse have nothing better to do than support athletics. It has NOTHING to do with this basketball game (and I’m sure cuse fans with disagree, which I don’t really understand).
Real arguments are retarded, can we just go back to yelling “Ewing can’t read” and “Andy Rautins has AIDS” from our own pathetic corners of our mothers’ basements?
P.S. Andy Rautins is gay with his dad.

i have a question for you Hoya fans....
Whats with having the Jordan logo on your jerseys, why not just the nike logo? It just seems odd to have it after 82 and all.
gtown sponsored by jumpman
jordan’s agent, david falk, is also the agent for every single gtown player to go pro since early 80s.
falk’s connect with gtown goes way back – he named thompson jr as one of his biggest influences in his book. he is also a cuse grad.

Why do Cuse fans think Your mom is a Hoya is funny or original. I get that it’s supposed to be pronounced like Hoe – yeah. But that’s not how it’s pronounced so it just sounds stupid.
Your mom also went to Georgetown is what they’re saying.
Never got that
until you just explained it to me. Because it doesn’t really make any sense.

From Hoyasaxa.com
Jan. 18, 2005: John Thompson III-coached teams are 0-4 in the Carrier Dome, but came closest to a win in his first game there as head coach. The young Hoyas held a 36-32 lead over the #7-ranked Orangemen at halftime but was hit hard by foul trouble, losing Jeff Green to fouls late in the game. A big defensive stop with 30 seconds left gave Georgetown a chance, down two, and Brandon Bowman nearly won the game in regulation, but his foot was judged to be on the three point line on a 22 foot basket and the game went into overtime instead. Syracuse scored the first seven points of overtime, Bowman fouled out thereafter, and the Orangemen earned a 78-73 win.
(A sad day for Hoyas fans, but that singular moment helped spawn this wonderful handle)
