Nothing Says “Hate” Like Ink on Paperboard II

Let’s keep rolling out some witty gems. 

Signage II: Georgetown Has Only One Fear

Scientific!

Nothing Says “Hate” Like Ink on Paperboard

After Syracuse University’s meeting with Georgetown University on January 14, 2009, much praised was heaped on the Hoya student population for the use of creative signage to accentuate their desire to beat Jonny and the Ongenaets.

With the Hoyas venturing to the Carrier Dome for an historic throttling in a little over 14 days, I thought that it would be in the best interest of the Orange student body for me to contribute some ideas for publicly displayed sentiments of disdain.  The signs will appear on a daily basis until Syracuse squares off against Georgetown on Valentine’s Day.

Hoya Suxa Open Mic Night II

The last edition of Hoya Suxa Open Mic Night yielded an excellent result.  Accordingly, I am bringing back the feature for Syracuse University’s February 14, 2009 runaround with Georgetown University.

The scope and regulations guiding the effort are the same as last time:

The scope of this project is fairly undefined.  The foundation of all submissions, however, must revolve around one simple theme: the Syracuse-Georgetown relationship.  Some examples of essays that would merit publication include:

• Your first Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry experience;
• Your favorite Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry moment(s);
• Your least favorite Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry moment(s);
• Essays premised on the notion of “Why I dislike [Georgetown]/[Syracuse]“;
• Free-form essays indicative of those appearing herein (e.g., a CIA dossier on Dikembe Mutombo; a fictitious letter from the devil to John Thompson, Jr. reminding the former Georgetown head coach of the devil’s hardline “reciprocity” policy; a “futureblog” of the Syracuse-Georgetown game); and
• Videos chronicling the Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry.

The above, obviously, are not exhaustive.  I’d like to think that those that appreciate Hoya Suxa have an intuitive notion of how this project should materialize.  It is also important to note that this project is not limited to simply Syracuse partisans submitting anti-Georgetown material; Georgetown partisans are more than welcome to participate in the effort.  I know there are a lot of Hoya supporters that read Hoya Suxa and understand that this notebook is as much an exaggeration of the Syracuse experience as it is a fabricated illustration of Georgetown University.

There are, however, some ground rules for submissions:

• Please do not send a treatise or manifesto;
• Do not send me a first-draft of anything (everything that appears on Hoya Suxa goes through at least three edits; your submissions should adhere to this policy);
• Cleverness and uniqueness are paramount qualities — do not send me 1,000 words on why Georgetown “sucks”;
• Coarse language is not prohibited, but is not particularly supported; and
• All submissions will not merit publication (unless, of course, I have severely underestimated Hoya Suxa’s readership).

If you would like to participate, contact me directly or leave a comment below with your contact information and I will reach out to you directly.  Please submit all essays by Thursday, February 12, 2009; any essays submitted after that date will be roundly discarded.
