There's no SU tie-in here. Just 2:42 of awesome.

True Story

For the Long Beach State game I was doing a live chat, the sham wow guy and his commercial came on and my computer crashed. He’s God.

I'm pretty sure I just heard him say

“You’re going to love my nuts.”

Watching SU football and basketball games at the Syracuse bar in DC, multiple times the crowd has been captivated by one of these commercials… the shamwow, the slap chop, and now, may I present, the greatest invention in human history…

What bar in DC?

Is it Ventnor on 18th? I know they are Syracuse supporters. But I want to get out and watch some of these games with other SU fans, especially when the Big East season gets going.

New bar

The gamewatching bar is now Sign of the Whale on M between 18th and 19th. Come out on Saturday night for the Memphis game.

Sweet Sassy Mollassey!

That’s not too far from my place. I might just do that! And maybe I’ll ~~wear my wig~~ fro out my naturally orange hair.

I assume this is open to non-alum as well?

I did not go to Syracuse. I just became a fan when I was a tot growing up in Cortland.

Sure

And townies are welcome too.

Well shoot

I might have to come on down here as well. I’ve never been to Sign of the Whale (though I have been to Ventnor a number of times, I have buddies who live across the street). Although, tonight me and my last remaining local SU compatriot (the rest moved to NYC) are planning to meet at Cleveland Park Bar & Grill, which is close to where she lives.

Snuggies are on back-order according to a letter sent to Barstoolsports.com

DC Bar

All the ‘Cuse fans I know go to Rhino Bar in Georgetown. Nothing says Bad Ass like having t he official Syracuse bar right in your rival’s backyard.

I had heard Rhino too

But I’m not a big fan of Rhino: G’town is a pain in the ass to get to, and I feel like 20 different colleges claim it as their bar as well.

I'm a crotchety 87 year old man, apparently.

Rhino no more

Rhino is devoting itself to being a G’town bar. Besides, we received a better deal from Sign and we moved it there before the football season.

Eww

That sucks. I always liked knowing that you guys were in the heart of Hoya Country fighting the good fight.

Rhino

Personally, I’m amazed a brawl never broke out.

Vince from ShamWow

I think Marrone should hire Vince to go out on the recruiting trail for him…

Eat some salad

that line “you’re gonna love my nuts” is just unreal.

And WTF is up with his head-piece microphone? I don’t get that one at all.

How else

do you expect to hear him? He’s in a kitchen, for God’s sake.

You’re gonna love my nuts. UNREAL!

Personal favorite new commercial

Billy Mays the OxyClean guy is now hocking Life Insuance. It sounds just like the OxyClean commercial only he is telling you that you need to protect your family incase of your accidental death.

You're going to love my nuts!

Dennis Dodd would totally take that out of context.

Rhino vs Sign

Guys,
Rhino and Sign are basically owned by the same people. As one of the people behind the move it has nothing to do with Rhino not liking us. The manager there is great and has always gone out of his way as much as possible to make Cuse feel welcome, even though he graduated from Gtown.
The new bar has the exact same specials as Rhino had 25 cent wings (its the same sauce as rhino) and 8 dollar pitchers during the game. This bar will allow us to establish a home where we can put SU stuff in the bar all season. Its also near both the blue, orange and red lines. I won’t be there tonight, but we should have a good crowd on Saturday for Memphis. Hope to see you guys then,
Jon
