Errors in Public Relations: Connecticut

Hoya Suxa is dedicated to more than simply pulling back the propaganda curtain at Georgetown University. This is a full-service enterprise.

Accordingly, as Syracuse University goes through its preseason football paces, this notebook will also head to training camp. While the Orange will lift weights and learn technique, Hoya Suxa will stretch out the only muscle it knows or needs: The schadenfreude muscle.

The University of Connecticut — the State of Connecticut’s repository for remedial studies and students — has long maintained some of the worst promotional commercials among active colleges and universities. After the universally-derided debacle that was the “UCONN . . . Great Pick!” advertisement, standard logic would assume that Connecticut would stray from any commercial that would directly, or even tangentially, generate derision.

That assumption, however, presumes a foundational tenet: That the University of Connecticut will exercise logic.

As the following video illustrates, Connecticut is still New England’s Alabama:

Please Stand By

Put down the noose.   Hoya Suxa will return in two weeks.  In the interim, I’m still dominating Twitter.

Correction: Hoya Suxa will go live on Monday to coincide with Syracuse opening its fall practice season.

And to answer the presumed question, no, I didn’t finish the book.  I only managed to find time to compose four essays. 

I’ll try again in Summer 2010.
