The Chiptole Curse Is A Fickle, Fickle Burrito

These are tough times for Chipotle.
I don't mean this whole illegal immigrant worker crackdown business. Whatevs on that.
I mean the truth is beginning to seep forth from the steamy foil-wrapped flauta of secrets hidden deep beneath Chipotle HQ. The Chipotle Curse is very real. And it turns out...it's not just a Syracuse thing.
Like any virus, it infects anyone who comes into contact with it.
Take UConn, who tried to use Reverse Cursology by eating nothing but Chipotle last week before the Syracuse-UConn game. Due to their insolence, the Orange won in Connecticut for the first time since 1999.
South Florida tried the same thing. How's that turn out?
In fact, UConn's loss led to a startling revelation and a key insight into where the Chipotle Curse truly started.
You see, I have a deep, dark and horrible secret: I've eaten Chipotle before a UConn game before.
The game was in 2006.
It took place in Washington, D.C.
The opponent was George Mason.
My God, UConn was Patient Zero.
This all brings us to tonight's Georgetown game. While the Hoyas have been smart enough to avoid wantonly egging on the Curse, they do willfully hand out Chipotle food at their home games. Great news for us when we head there, unless Scoop finds his way in front of a Burrito Cannon (I assume these exist).
As for tonight, however, there's still the simple truth that since Chipotle made the official announcement that their Marshall Street restaurant is opening and erected their monolithic, corporate logo, the Orange have not won a home game. Bodes well, this does not.
What can we do other than continue to fight barbacoa with barbacoa.
Our barbarcoa is a metaphorical kind. It's grit, determination and an unwavering commitment to zone defense.The patented 2-3 Barbacoa of Victory.
Their barbacoa is literally barbacoa. It's stringy beef.
Who's barbacoa is the better barbacoa? We'll know soon enough. God speed, Syracuse fans. And just try to stop saying the word barbacoa over and over in your head now. You can't.
Sorry.
(By the way, hope you took the OVER on my odds here)

Someone on this site has to practice Voodoo
I assume. Before 7 pm est, gather the neccessary items (Chipolte Burritos, Oranges, small metal steaks, dolls etc…) perform the ceremony, and put the curse back onto Chipolte..
SU 97
I'll leave the Voodoo to the USF fans
I just wanna tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
Can we have a Chipolte pregame spread in the GT locker room?
Id be glad to chip in for this one!
Collect the money and order delivery to the visitors locker room. Make it happen. LOL.
Wouldn't that
Sort of be like UConn trying to reverse cursology us?
I’m pretty sure it didn’t turn out well for them…
Rugby is played by men with odd shaped balls.
Im pretty sure...
if we give it to them, then it transfers the curse. UConn tried to rub it in our face and it failed. Here, we’re just sharing some excellent mexican cuisine with our guests from DC. I mean, doesnt a good host provide dinner when guests visit their home?
Or we can just serve em that crap Sbarro pizza that they used to (do they still?) serve in the dining halls? That crap was so foul (2 inches of dough, 1 millimeter of sauce and cheese) they’d be doubled over in gastric pain.
I just wouldn't touch it!
Stay far, far away from it; like a bad rumor.

This is the first post in the history of sports blogs to use the word "flauta"

OK
So for dinner before the UConn game, I had a Chipotle burrito. Somehow, it just felt right.
The question is: Should I do it again???
For what it's worth,
there is no Burrito Cannon yet in the Verizon Center. At least not at the Wizards games. People just run in to the stands and pass out burritos.
Bad news: There is a Chipotle attached to the arena.
Good news: It’s only accessible from the outside.
Bad news: The Chipotle is cursed (of course it is, it’s a Chipotle).
So my question is, does the team get time to roam free before the game in DC or do just drive straight in to the arena, warm up and play?
Clyde’s, where all the SU folks are meeting, is right next door to the Chipotle. Maybe we should split in to groups and take turns keeping Orange players from entering, just to make sure?
Suggestions are appreciated.
As an SU student I'm officially over (allegedly) stealing street signs
I’m on to (allegedly) stealing Chipotle signs. This will be the greatest accomplishment of my life. And in no way is that sad.
I did my part...
In DC on business, passed up Chipotle at Union Station. Bad news is will be on a train back to Jersey during the game!!
