Call Your Local Cable Operator

Georgetown University’s recent propagandizing of ESPNU is, thankfully, coming to a close this evening.  After 48 consecutive hours of Hoya non-schadenfreude, the freedom-loving republic of Syracuse truth-bearers is now able to place the network back on its collective “favorites” list, as opposed to its current status of “blocked” alongside such stations as Al Jazeera and Bloomberg*.

Buried within the above-linked Georgetown press release is an important note: Syracuse University will soon have the opportunity to counter this current barrage of Hoya contemptuousness.  While no date is given for this Orange opus, Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician – a fellow patriot valiently thwarting the onslaught of Georgetown chicanery that surrounds the God-fearing public on a daily basis — has put out a call for Syracuse programming suggestions.

As the Internet’s foremost authority on Syracuse holiness, I feel compelled to submit a proposal.  While 48 consecutive hours of Orange-related sports excellence is reasonable under the circumstances, it only makes sense that Syracuse receive 44 consecutive hours of programming**.

Virginia Tech at Syracuse (1998)
An explanation is not necessary to argue the placement of this game on the programming slate.  This contest stacks up favorably to Moses parting the Red Sea and the dismantling of apartheid in South Africa.

Enlightened Soul Joins Deadspin

Deadspin, the Internet’s first stop for sports bloggery, recently experienced some editorial turnover.  Gone is Will Leitch, the site’s original proprietor, and in are a cacophony of Internet-based authors of various degrees of journalistic integrity.

Among those now penning the veritable blog is Clay Travis, an attorney, Southern Gentlemen, and fellow Georgetown University antipathetic:

I do not like fat girls from Florida with bingo wings, people from Long Island, ‘Bama Bangs, Georgetown University, the major league baseball regular season, goatees, the NFC East, billable hours, old white men who claim that writing about sports is hard, or Jim Rome.
