A Tradition Unlike Any Other: The Wager with Hoya Suxa on Georgetown-Syracuse 2012

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 outside of Rutgers - Seton Hall takes the national spotlight. It's also time for the fifth 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 in 2010, after which we were forced to pen the horrific Ode to Gerry McNamara. The second wager was on the Big East Tournament matchup that season, and resulted in HoyaSuxa scripting, directing and starring in one of the greatest short films of our generation. (Casual note: IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED IT PLEASE DO SO NOW AND EVEN IF YOU HAVE, WATCH IT AGAIN). Last year, after Georgetown's epic victory at the Carrier Dome, HoyaSuxa was forced to publish five of his precious Daily Affirmations in support of Georgetown, which resulted in this and this and this and this and this. And in the last installment, we wrote an Ode to Jimmy B.
So for those keeping track, the score is tied at 2-2 going into what could be our last ever wager. That being said, this year we're adding a crucial element to the wager: public humiliation.
(More Details After the Jump)
So here it is, simple yet elegant:
- If Syracuse wins, HoyaSuxa gets to write the world famous Casual Awards on THE GLOBAL PHENOMENON. Yes, this will be painful, I won't read them because I will likely be preparing Georgetown's application to the Colonial America East Patriotic Conference.
- If Georgetown wins, Hoya Suxa will attend a Syracuse function--either an Orange game at the Carrier Dome or at MSG or another Syracuse event -- in full Georgetown apparel. This will, of course, be appropriately documented and released to the masses.
Here is an added bonus: Georgetown has NEVER lost when we put our awards on the line. NEVER.

Awards would be terrible
blog might not withstand it
Cuse delenda est
Awards would be terrible
blog would be indistinguishable from its usual self
Fixed.
Go, fight, and win.

Did that blind date girl ever call you back?
Wait, no, she thought you were weird. Wait actually, she probably didn’t call you because you killed her and put her head in the freezer with the rest of your previous blind dates’.
Nice one, serial killer.

You guys are ruthless
It would’ve been enough to have him wear one of those Syracuse “Platinum” Gray jerseys. The Casual Awards are sacred ground, but I feel like Suxa has more to lose yet again.
Suxa is currently referencing the coming "Hoyacaust"
So he sounds confident.
Cuse delenda est
Not so sure
I wouldn’t be able to pick out Hoya Suxa in a crowd, and I imagine most readers wouldn’t be able to either. I would far more enjoy being able to invade the Suxa blog / force Suxa to post a gloriously pro-GU ode than to see a picture of a random guy in all gray in a sea of orange somewhere.
But maybe I just really, really enjoyed those bet-losing Daily Affirmations.

Agreed. Would love to see our bloglord's creativity gracing the pages of Hoya Suxa.
Hopefully they have instructed Suxa to throughly document his grey-clad experiences.

Suxa is one of the good ones, if that can be said of a Cuse fan
I have every faith that should he lost, his fulfillment of his bet will be amusing and thorough.
Why so Syracuse?
See
I would just find it very gratifying to know, even without witnessing it, that a Syracuse fan (and particularly this one), is being forced to wear GU gear in public with his fellow losers. And assuming not all of them recognize him, he will be the target of projectiles because of it, at least until he explains that he’s only wearing it because GU won this year.
He would be the guy decked out in Georgetown apparel...
Who winces and/or retches every time the team he appears to be supporting so much as makes a free throw…and if the video from last year is any indication, he relishes the opportunity to showcase his flair for the dramatic.
I’m sure he’ll find a way to make his presence known. He’s good like that.
makes sense that suxa would have more to lose
since they are heavy favorites and it is at the dome.
Take No Prisoners, especially if they wear Orange.

This is an excellent bet.

I hope this came
with a committment from them to improve football. Love it otherwise, just dont want to alienate the football schools by couching it as a pro-basketball move.
Also outside of BYU, who already passed, there not many decent football schools left we could take.

Nope.
That would be this HDC:
After that last, unholy row,
I never, ever play, basketball now.
It joins a list of things I'll miss like fencing foils and lovely girls I'll never kiss.

Suxa, come out of the closet.
We all know you are a Hoya fan at heart. How painful your years of self loathing as Syracuse fraud must be. You secretly hope that the Hoyas prevail tmrrw so that you can realize your dream of becoming one of the Sons of Georgetown. If only for a moment.
... straight for a -touchdown- rebound
by glackensghost on Feb 7, 2012 3:00 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
wow, that's embarrassing.
dude looks like frodo baggins.
"full Georgetown apparel"
of course includes a Casual Headband.
not to worry, Casualties. WE GOT THIS.
Casually.
good bet
I am genuinely concerned regarding suxa’s well-being amongst his fellow hooligans if he loses.
My other worry is if the stakes reverse for the next bet, the bloglords wearing syracuse gear would be horrible
by SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak on Feb 7, 2012 2:48 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Can we get him a pair of those Georgetown logo-emblazoned rain boots to go with it?
Just because it would humor me.
I'm hoping blue and grey face paint is part of the bet
by SomebodyBuyAustinaSteak on Feb 7, 2012 3:22 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Oh for sure
I can give him the following advice:
Tip 1: If you do your mouth at all, you WILL ingest the paint…make your peace with it now.
Tip 2: It’s hard to find a flat gray in the typical Party City-esque face paint section and the silver is a) silver, and b) way less viscous than the available blue. I recommend buying black and white and mixing your own.
Tip 3: If you hug a friend or loved one, then pull back and see you’ve left paint on their clothes, don’t pull a face. Just hope it’ll wash out.
Tip 4: Don’t think about that itch…oh, sorry…you’re screwed now.
Tip 5: Even after you wash it off, be ready for people, particularly women, to ask if you’re wearing eyeliner.
Bonus Tip: If you do go for a Joker motif, you may notice after you paint up that it looks a little too put-together, not quite anarchic enough. It’s at this point that the pros (read: really, really sad and obsessive fans) splash a very small amount of water on their face to bleed the paint off a bit.
Why so Syracuse?

In the style of Cee Lo Green
I see you lay a smackdown
On the girl you love and I’m like,
Fuck Cuse!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess a great Big East conference
Wasn’t enough i’m like,
Fuck Cuse!
And fuck Pitt too!
Cuse said “If I was richer, I’d still be with ya”
Ha, now ain’t that some shit? (ain’t that some shit?)
I hope Coach K is impressed,
With how you treat your guests,
Oh, and…
Fuck Cuse!
Oo, oo, ooo
Your game is sorry, or should I say “sore-y”
Since you’re up by the bound’ry line?
How many players…spent time with Laurie
And did they go six overtimes?
I pity the fool that follows Syracuse
(Your AD was a gold digger)
Well
(Your new refs have a hair trigger)
Ooooooh, I’ve got some news for you
Yeah go run and tell your little boyfriend
I see you lay a smackdown
On the girl you love and I’m like,
Fuck Cuse!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess a great Big East Conference
Wasn’t enough i’m like,
Fuck Cuse!
And, uh, fuck Pitt too!
Cuse said “if i was richer, i’d still be with ya”
Now ain’t that some shit? (ain’t that some shit?)
We all want you at your best,
So let Chipotle digest,
Oh man…
Fuck Cuse!
Oo, oo, ooo
Now I know…when it comes to Melo,
You had to beg and steal and lie and scheme.
Trying to keep your precious player,
So you won’t have to start Rakeem.
I pity the fool that follows Syracuse
(Your AD was a gold digger)
Well
(Your new refs have a hair trigger)
Ooooooh, I’ve got some news for you
Ooh, i really hate yo ass right now
I see you lay a smackdown
On the girl you love and I’m like,
Fuck Cuse!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess a great Big East Conference
Wasn’t enough i’m like,
Fuck Cuse!
And, uh, fuck Pitt too!
Cuse said “if i was richer, i’d still be with ya”
Ha, now ain’t that some shit? (ain’t that some shit?)
But til the team’s next arrest,
Or next fraudulent test, I’ll just say…
Fuck Cuse!
Oo, oo, ooo
Now Jimmy, baby, baby, why d’you wanna wanna hurt me so bad?
(so bad, so bad, so bad)
Is this about the time that Manley got closed
Down by Coach Thompson’s Dad?
(His dad, his dad, his dad)
And you were like:
“Uh! Whiiiine! Uh! Whiiine! Uh! Whiiiiiine” Jimmy?
Oh! I loathe you!
Oh! I so loathe you! Ohhhhh!
I see you lay a smackdown
On the girl you love and I’m like,
Fuck Cuse!
Oo, oo, ooo
I guess a great Big East Conference
Wasn’t enough i’m like,
Fuck Cuse!
And, uh, fuck Pitt too!
Cuse said “if i was richer, i’d still be with ya”
Ha, now ain’t that some shit? (ain’t that some shit?)
But since it’s you we detest,
It don’t make us depressed, so just…
Fuck Cuse!
Oo, oo, oo, oo.
Why so Syracuse?

Your talent leaves me speechless.
I echo my own sentiments from above, yet it doesn’t even seem like enough…
just bought the original in order to listen along
People – it’s unreal how good this is. Any Casualties got a studio/mic on the laptop in the basement and able to pump out a recording? By tomorrow???
Hammer of the Cuse
This is seriously amazing
Cracking up in my cubicle right now, particularly at the “And did they go six overtimes?” line. Unreal. I feel like you’ve just joined Hoya Saxual in the pantheon of lunch blog all-stars.

Oh, Joker definitely pre-dates me in terms of awesome lunch blog contributions!
He was cracking me up while I was still too shy to actually comment…
Wow.

The fifth linked bizarro affirmation
Is frighteningly prophetic. Maybe Hoya Suxa is one sixty-fourth Mayan?
Thankfully you didn't agree to wear orange
Took my life into my hands and I didn’t even wear orange during hunting season.

Worst suggestion ever
I’m retching a little bit at even the idea of pasty, flabby Syracuse flesh being exposed to the world.
