Why I hate Syracuse

Besides Iowa, there’s no team I’d rather see NU beat than Syracuse, and it has nothing to do with the players on the field. There are a lot of reasons to hate Syracuse.

They stole OUR motto.

Greg Paulus is their quarterback.

This is one of the weirdest things to ever have happened in the history of college football. The dude plays four mediocre years of BASKETBALL at Duke and then somehow earns the starting QUARTERBACK job at Syracuse. I can’t believe a guy who was just a few years ago getting into a slap boxing match with the only college basketball player who was a bigger bitch than him can just show up in Syracuse and be named the starting QB. I mean, he used to be good…but I used to be skinny…things change.

Then there’s this…oh Bob Costas…

Their journalism school is better.

If you didn’t already know…Medill and Newhouse is a significant rivalry in the small, petty world of journalism. This is a fairly close rivalry until you realize our Dean doesn’t really care about journalism.  Also it helps that Syracuse has produced such legends as Costas, Tirico, McDonough, and Shaq.

Meanwhile, NU has this guy.

They have real fans.

Syracuse have actual fans who make actual noise, even if they are douche bags…they impact the game.

Meanwhile, NU has moronic students who want us to leave the Big Ten.

(That’s right Jake Simpson, I’m not letting you forget that article!)

Last but not least…

They have a stadium named after an air conditioning company (The Carrier Dome)…that is NOT AIR CONDITIONED.

I hope NU crushes them…and cause the football version of this to Mr. Paulus.
