For full Big East Tournament updates, check out the SBNation Big East Tourney steam, run by yours truly.
Georgetown and South Florida did their best Big Ten imitation today but the Hoyas emerged victorious 69-49. That means that a sequel wasn't enough to kill the Hoya virus. This one's going to be a trilogy. And if the Scream movies taught me anything, it's that the third one always sucks.
No wait...it taught me all bets are off. Well, I guess they taught me both of those things.
While HoyaSuxa begins preparations for it's onslaught, let's remember that this just isn't about the 2009-2010 season. SU and Georgetown in the Big East Tournament is a damn-near institution.
The two conference heavyweights have split their 12 meetings in the Big East tournament.
The last meeting? A 58-57 win in the 2006 semis. You may remember it (1:58)
If you're going, I hope you bought your tickets already. They ain't cheap.
The average fan has shelled out $202 per ticket on StubHub.com to attend the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball game against Georgetown at noon Thursday in the Big East tournament.
That’s an extra $118 per ticket for SU’s first-round matchup when compared to a year ago on the ticket-trading site. StubHub is the official secondary market seller for the tournament. A pass to all 15 tournament games on the site cost an average of $928.
If you have bought your ticket already, make sure you bring your passionate passion as well. It will be appreciated.

Well since Austin Freeman is playing, it’s cool to make fun of him now, right?
Go, fight, and win.

wow classy.
Also, are any of your fans not sickly-looking albinos?
It's not me, It's you

Damn dude

It's not you, it's me.

Beyond the video being painfully unfunny, how is this redeemable or acceptable? If we make a video about you, some kid who looks like a prepubescent Pee Wee Herman with ears perpendicular to his face, do we get laughs?
See what I did there? I made fun of something you have no control over. We can talk about how Rautins looks like a guido or even how JTIII gives the most painfully awkward halftime interviews, but to talk about a medical condition? Damn.
I'll be there

Quaterfinal
Kansas is good, don’t get me wrong. but this is what pisses me off about constantly hearing how Kansas is way better and the Big 12 is just as good as the Big East
SU quarterfinal game of the tournament is against a club that has been in the top 10 for much of the year. georgetown (21-9, 10-8)
Kansas quarterfinal game of the big 12 tournament is a doormat. Texas tech (17-14, 4-12)
WTF?

excellent point.
The Big east is just a deep deep conference. Sure, theres a lot of teams, but so what?! they gotta play somewhere!

Watching the game
Is there anywhere to watch the game tomorrow online? Work calls.
Alex O is the man
Love the video. Keep sticking it to the Hoyas.
I approve of that video.
People need to stop being hypersensitive (I’m looking at you, Georgetown lurkers)
Syracuse '12
Well, if the Diabetics Ambassador says it's ok...
Rival fandom as a disease…sure, I can get on board with that.
Making light of the symptoms a kid went through when no one had any idea what was going on with him while he tried to contribute to his team…there’s the line…a few feet behind you. The guy was hospitalized.
It’d be like one of these people in your family crashing due to their diabetes and someone pointing and laughing at them.
Some of your posters came over when it was announced and offered best wishes, saying they wouldn’t wish it upon their worst enemies (which we are). THAT I respected. We’ve got enough to keep this rivalry going without this.
I hope our Hoyabetic player lights you up tomorrow.
Why so Syracuse?
Know how you can avoid having to see this so-called crossing of the line?
Stop trolling our site.

OMG Y R DER TROLLZ ON BLOGS?
Not to mention the fact that Alex O is a regular guest on Casual when we play you. I have no problem coming over here to call him out.
Someone mentioned the video on ours, so I checked it out. I didn’t believe him. I’ve been a part of YEARS of Cuse-hating and I STILL didn’t believe it.
Sorry to spoil your fun, though. I should have let you all pat each other’s backs for such classy material.
Why so Syracuse?

Clever.
I wonder if whining about it will solve this problem for you?
Get over it.

There’s a little Boeheim in all of us.

I'm over it.
Unrelatedly, sorry about AO. Hope he’s ok. No sarcasm and certainly no feelings of just due related to all of this back and forth. Early reports are positive, which is great. Give ’em hell in NCAA.
Why so Syracuse?
Stop being so freaking oversensitive. Obviously you want to be this self-righteously angry or else you’d stay the hell off of Syracuse message boards.
It’s not anything like someone in my family crashing due to their diabetes and someone laughing at them. The kid is back playing basketball. He’s fine. And, if properly managed, he’ll live a long, healthy life. Go watch your team play basketball and get off of the internet if you can’t handle a little bit of inappropriate humor.

meh
If you are going to cross the line, you have to be really, really funny, it can’t be a little funny, or it just bombs.
