I am really dumbfounded by this nugget of news coming out of the prison holding cell known as Syracuse, NY.

Temple Adath Yeshurun of Syracuse, NY is honoring John Thompson Jr., the man who patriotically told a room of full of Canadian Cuse delinquents that their beloved field house was officially closed after a crushing Hoya victory, the man who outperformed their worthless and whiny coach in every conceivable metric during comparable time spans, the man who complied 26 victories against their prison-orange clad teams, with its annual Citizen of the Year award tonight.

Since their attempts to prevent Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, from speaking at their graduation were disregarded (shocker!), Syracuse seniors have come up with a new fail-proof plan.  They are going to strip.  The Daily Orange (the name of the student newspaper and a means to get Vitamin C) reports:

Mariel Fiedler will attend commencement. She will wear her cap and gown. She will walk across the stage. She will revel in the fact that four years of hard work has paid off.

And when JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon gets on stage to give his commencement address, she won't say a word in protest. Instead, she'll protest his presence in a silent way - by taking off her robe.

"I'll sit there and listen to him, but I won't be wearing my robe when that happens," Fiedler said.

Fiedler is one of the students leading the Take Back Commencement movement, which has protested the choice of Dimon as the 2010 Syracuse University and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry commencement speaker. The students originally wanted the university to remove Dimon and choose another speaker. Realizing that wouldn't happen, they decided the best way to protest Dimon was by taking off their robes during his speech.

Aw shucks.  I failed to live up to expectations, again

The Syracuse Fruit/Color were upset by the Butler Bulldogs in the regional semifinals.  This marks the 5th time Syracuse has failed to advance past the Sweet Sixteen since 2003, when something unmentionable happened.  This is also the fourth time in their last five tournament appearances that the Orange have been defeated by a lower seeded team.  Some more interesting tidbits from the game.

• Former Hoya commit DaShonte Riley put up Nikita-like numbers with 0 points, 2 fouls and 1 turnover
• Andy Rautins, in his last game in Orange (until he plays for Western Moscow Fruit Flies), had two turnovers and two fouls in the final five minutes of his college career.
• Turnovers plagued the Orange, like they always have and will
• Jim Boeheim failed 

I could not care less if this looks bad for the Big East.  Just glad to see Syracuse sent home.  Looking forward to the Orange exCUSEs for this flop.

Remember that time we beat Syracuse in the quarterfinals of the BET?  Remember the time I bet on the outcome of the game?

Well Hoya Suxa paid up, hopefully this brings some joy to misery that has been your life since last Thursday.  But first a warning from Hoya Suxa himself:

Now, before you view the rubbish below, a warning is probably in order: If you have a weak stomach, do not watch this video.

His video illustrating the pain of the Orange losing to the Hoyas is available after "The Jump".

Enjoy.  Then go back to hating life.

After Georgetown lost to Syracuse at the Verizon Center last month, I was forced to do the unthinkable.  After my heart was broken, pieced back together during an unfathomable second half run, and then cruelly stomped on during the closing minutes of a game against a team that bears the name of a citrus fruit, I did something so traitorous that John Carroll rolled over in his grave while shedding a tear.  I penned a poem lauding Gerry McNamara, the most famous Orange oompa loompa.  The composition was forced by HoyaSuxa, a merciless and doomed soul who insisted I publicly pay my debts in full.

Now, as the third installment of the Georgetown - Syracuse saga is set take place at noon, it is time for vengeance.   And as any wounded but proud warrior would do, I emailed the dude and said let's do it again, bro.

Georgetown lost, I lost, and now we all lost.

As a result of an awful bet I made with Hoya Suxa, I am forced to pen a horribly inaccurate and deceiving composition about Gerry McNamara.  To fully reflect on the impact Gerry has made on my life, I decided to write a poem, through the eyes of Craig Esherick.

Hoya Suxa - Congrats.  I still hate you.

Why bet your hard earned money when you can gamble with your dignity?

As Hate Day continues, Matt aka Hoya Suxa, the dark overlord of the self-named blog Hoya Suxa, and I, your fearless and visionary leader, have entered into a wager regarding the outcome of tomorrow's match between Syracuse and Georgetown.

So I'm spending a Casual Friday at work last week the way I like to spend most Casual Fridays - reading about college basketball and trolling other teams' message boards for ammo to make fun of their players, laugh at their grammar, etc.  Last Friday I was particularly interested in Syracuse's scout board because we had a game coming up against them, and again, their grammar is hilariously bad.  I stumbled into a thread titled "Hoya fan sinks to all-time low."

Started by a fellow named Orangeyes:

Earlier today Gottlieb addressed fan behavior at West Virginia, stating it's been very bad for going on two years now. He was talking about the chants they used regarding Pitino's mistress. He also cited the coin toss that hit a Pitt coach just below the eye.

There are certain things that should remain out of bounds and one is a father & son relationship. People like "Jeff Green's Dad" use their forums in an irresponsible manner when they publish a family photo to mock that family to their audience.

Attacking Andy & Leo

Well looky here, that's about me!  My first thought was "Wow, my making fun of Leo and Andy Rautins is on par with making fun of a man for committing adultery and tossing objects at referees?"  I can guarantee you that when Andy and Leo got matching tattoos they knew some people would make fun of it, and I'm sure they understand the nature of opposing college basketball teams looking for ways to make fun.  They both played high level college basketball, they get the nature of the game, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be that offended by what was written.
