[jekelish]

Well here's the thing: if I were to win, season tickets do me no good way down here in Texas. Dagnabbit!

That's why I said I'd donate to the University or send them to a local friend or family member if somebody wins that isn't local.

 

[Mr Peabody]

Seriously, enjoy your trip.

Now this is a story all about how,
SU football got the Dino Baber locked in the Dome,
now we sitting fine riding on chrome.


uhhhhhhhhhhhh
once upon a time not so long ago,
there once was a man who wore Fo Fo,
his name the great Jim Brown,
who got the handoff and ran through the town,
he procedded to hand off to the man that eventually won the crown,
The Heisman trophy winner Ernie Davis,
fast forward to the 2000s even batman couldnt save us,
our program was going down down down,
suffering from a case of losing,
not g rob, not marrone, not shafer,
maybe all we needed was our own pacquiao,
but thats fine we'll settle for macchio,
but it seems the tide is turning,
no more running around couches burning,
i stole from the rap game,
call me a burglar,
aka the masked vigilante THICKBURGER,
I got a dirty mouth I can get smart,
*U*C*K you emmert,
its getting hot in here the bloods starting to boil,
but a special thank you to mark coyle,
now is the day we have a brand new coach,
i dont mean to boast,
but now im about to roast,
*U*C*K uconn,
best wishes to james conner,
*U*C*K cancer,
excuse my use of sentence enhancers,
now we got the vice prez Baber,
the man in charge Boeheim,
played this entire rap out in my mind,
we just flipped the script,
keep your eyes of my girl Anna Kendrick!

lets just make this clear, I dont expect to win...lol

Yeah, but the thing is, I'm out for me. I stick my neck out for nobody.

Awesome!

#OttoinGrottoRULES!!

 

[OrlandoCuse]

If I remember correctly, I believe Otto is a professor at BYU. So all of you hopefuls will at least be graded by a qualified professional academic.

Just adjunct faculty, actually. But yes, I have taught at the college level.

OMG! Is this for real?(I'm assured that it is!) To say I'm excited about this would be a massive understatement.

Yeah, it's real, and it's spectacular.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Can I use a Homework Pass and still qualify?

 

[llandz]

Great idea. If you throw in a private jet to take me from Phoenix to Syracuse, I'm in... But seriously a great idea for those who can actually use these tickets or know someone who can.. This is what we need more of with growing our program back up. This is as good as the Dino hire!!

He forgot to tell you--50 words or less.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

We were somewhere around Carthage on the edge of Tug Hill when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive…” And suddenly there was a roar all around us, reminiscent of the Dome, and the sky was full of what looked like huge footballs, all swooping and zipping and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the a dead deer in the back on the way to Syracuse. And a voice was screaming: “Holy Dino! What are these goddamn footballs?” Then it was quiet again. My coach had taken his shirt off and was pouring PBR on his chest, a seductive pheromone to attract Syracuse fans. “What the hell are you yelling about?” Dino muttered, staring at the snowflakes and day dreaming of ACC championships. “Never mind,” I said. “It’s your turn to drive.” I hit the brakes and aimed the 'Otto', the bright orange pick-up, toward the shoulder of the I-81 highway. No point mentioning those footballs, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

It was almost noon, and we still had more than a hundred miles to go. They would be tough miles. Very soon, I knew, we would both be in complete board meltdown mode. But there was no going back, and no time to rest. We would have to ride it out. Recruiting for football season was already underway, and we had to get there by four to announce our new staff, including JarheadJim, expert teenager recruiter and motivator. A fashionable lawyer by the name of Coyle had taken care of the reservations at the Sheraton, along with this huge Orange Pick-up we’d just rented off a lot on the Fort Drum base… and I was, after all, a professional Syracuse die-hard, a premium board paying, a man would move a wedding around a game and a honeymoon around an away game; so I had an obligation to love Syracuse sports, for good or ill.

Fear and Loathing in Syracuse

Great idea. I'm bringing home the Gold.

 

[mountaincuse]

I assume the title of my essay should be followed by (must read)?

 

[KaiserUEO]

This is the most embarrassing idea in the history of the Internet.

I gotta be missing the joke on this.

Please tell me I'm missing the joke...

I miss the good ole days of ecards and Internet petitions...
