The Chipotle Curse: Reborn January 25th, 2011

by Sean Keeley on Jan 25, 2011 10:57 PM EST in The Chipotle Curse

For background on the Chipotle Curse, please click here, start with the oldest story and work your way forward.

October 26th, 2010 - After reaching critical mass, the Chipotle Curse is declared dead in a public forum. Despite opening a store in the Syracuse area, the football team openly ate Chipotle while racing out to a 4-1 start en route to a bowl game. One should note that the curse was defeated specifically by the Syracuse football team, not the Syracuse basketball team.

January 18th, 2011 - Chipotle officially announces that they will be opening a new restaurant on Marhall Street, encroaching even further on the Syracuse University populous. Their wanton disregard for a history of cursing Syracuse Athletics to doom is appalling.

January 25th, 11am EST - Kris Joseph tweets "The Chipotle on Marshall St is gonna do numbers!!!" openly defying the Gods to re-start The Chipotle Curse.

January 25th, 10pm EST - Syracuse loses at home to 8-12 Seton Hall by 22 points, their worst home loss since 1998. The loss will likely send the Orange tumbling down the rankings and confirm them as "pretenders" to the rest of the nation.

The Chipotle Curse hath returneth. Deny it if you choose to but let it be known that you do so at your own peril. We have until April for the restaurant to open and officially doom us to an eternity of Seton Hall losses. Enjoy what small victories we are granted in the meantime.

That Taco Bell mystery meat doesn't sound so bad right about now, does it?

(No, it still sounds pretty awful. You should probably just raise your own cows from now on...)

The only good thing about this game is

that I have adjusted my expectations drastically. Nowhere to go but up at this point.

Not trolling-- here for sympathy

Know exactly how you guys feel

For every Gerry McNamara, there are three Eric Devendorfs.

It's all part of the plan

The lower Syracuse’s ranking, the lower the fan interest in the GTown game. The lower the fan interest, the lower the ticket prices.

On another note....

Can we get a thread/discussion going for Saturday’s game? Time to move on. Im over it. Nothing to see here. Move along. Seriously. Except my balls hurt….because they got kicked tonight.

We can all do a plethora of drugs tonight

knowing that it’s impossible to hallucinate as bad as we all did during the game.

I heard GTown has a sale on meth. Room 305. Knock 4 times.

Go quickly; their students will likely make a run on the supply. Because…ya know…its the only thing they can sellout.

That felt good. I feel better already.

I assume for every bag of meth bought there I also get a bj from a Hoya for a fit of it?

and by Hoya I mean John Thompson’s wife and JTIII’s mom

I know that’s harsh but it’s gtown and they deserve it

sexist jokes against a breast cancer survivor

classy as always Cuse fans

I probably need a new handle, but I'm too lazy to think of one

By that logic

hoya fans never can make fun of Jimmy B because he’s also a cancer survivor.

I don’t think anyone knew or cared she was a cancer survivor, but good for her.

Yeah, they call Boeheim a goatfucker all the time.

At least we talked of a HUMAN having sex with her.

Hope she stays in remission(ary position)!

But we DO raise our own cows. Out in Deruyter, NY. (Start in Syracuse. Head 45 minutes in the direction of the middle of nowhere. If you find somewhere again, you’ve gone too far.) DIDN’T SAVE THE BASKETBALL TEAM!

I just checked a map. If you actually headed out of Syracuse in the direction of DeRuyter and drove until you hit somewhere again, you’d end up in Stamford, CT.

Head 45 minutes from Syracuse in the direction of the middle of nowhere to find cows

Hey! Leave my hometown alone!

I just wanna tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

I like to think it's a curse

but I’m starting to think that it has more to do with the basketball talent level.

As of right now, Syracuse’s best win is at home over Notre Dame. That’s it. MSU was overrated and isn’t a very good basketball team. I don’t see a whole lot of improvement if Melo can’t even play a full minute without getting winded and Scoop, Triche, and Waiters don’t suddenly become good guards. Southerland is worse offensively and only slightly better defensively than Mookie, and Kris Joseph is either shaking out teh cobwebs or dreaming of NBA riches. The best player on the team, without question, is Rick Jackson and even he can’t do it by himself (Rick, if you have 4 guys on you when you come down with an OReb, one or more of your teammates is open).

I’m disappointed and depressed because I care. Go Orange.
