The Oranging

Theoranging_medium

Science will come up with some reason to put in the books, but in the end it'll be just a theory. I mean, we will fail to acknowledge that there are forces at work beyond our understanding. To be a Syracuse basketball fan, you must have a respectful awe for the laws of nature.

Listen to Mark Wahlberg, you guys.  He's right.  There are forces at work and they're telling you to wear an orange T-shirt on February 14th whilst attending the Syracuse-Georgetown basketball game in the Carrier Dome.  It's time for an "Orange-out," as the kids are calling it these days, and you need to do your part.  It's easy, really.

If you're a student, you already own an Orange shirt.  If by chance you don't, you are hereby dis-studented from Syracuse.  Sorry.  You just lost the deposit on that dorm fridge. 

Everyone else, if you don't own an Orange shirt, you have one month to accrue the funds necessary to purchase an Orange shirt from a place of business that specializes in apparel sales, preferably one in the Greater Syracuse area with a collection of Syracuse University-themed paraphernalia geared towards the local demographic which is in fact you.

If you attend the game on February 14th and consider yourself a Syracuse fan and you DO NOT show up in Orange, your Syracuse fandom is hereby revoked and you will be placed in front of the SU Judicial Board who will sentance you to the appropriate punishment...life in fail jail.

Look, I'll make it really simple for you.  This is an example of what you should NOT do on February 14th:

This is an example of the BARE MINIMUM that you should do on February 14th:

And finally this is IDEALLY what you'll be wearing and doing on February 14th:

We at least aren't the first to come up with it.

The Oranging of America, though the writers seems to connect it to Howard Johnson hotels rather than Syracuse (or the former Met):

The gem of the collection is the first story, “The Oranging of America,” a bit of fantasy posed as American folk legend. In this story, Apple tells about the aging Howard Johnson who tours the continental United States looking for locations for his orange-roofed restaurants and motels. For six months of the year, HJ is in his stretch Cadillac with his driver Otis and his secretary Millie driving the roads with vacationing families. When they need food and rest, they stop. If they find no services, they call New York and have HJ’s son buy land. There is a refrigerator run off the car battery with a back-up generator filled with ice cream samples. No flavor is ever put into production unless Otis approves. The system has worked well, but the board of directors wants a change.

Sergeant at Arms

def: an officer appointed by a deliberative body, usually a legislature, to keep order during its meetings. If I’m not mistaken, he is also the communications officer (facebook says so), which seems self-explanatory.
