Oh Syracuse.....

You ever hear the joke that goes as follows ?

"Hey whats better than winning the Special Olympics ?"
You kinda groan and know that a not so politically correct joke is about to explode out and you quickly check the 270 degrees of vision that you are responsible for and utter "What?"
"Not being in the Special Olympics...."

The laughter from the joke teller keeps going until some jackass says "Hey my cousin is retarded" Or if they aren't just trying to fuck with you they actually have a cousin who could compete in the S.O. they say "Hey my cousin is mentally challenged"

Anyways now that everyone has flashed back to that moment in their lives....

Whats better than winning the NIT tournament ? Being invited to the NCAA big dance. Thats right Syracuse University.... You might have been given the number one seed in the NIT tournament but you failed to make the big dance. Its like a girl telling you that you are her best friend, but not quite boyfriend material. However the guy who hasn't had a job in two months outside of dealing cocaine from his living room.... he's the genetic material you'd like to merge with yours to create a child in the future....

I'm still going to root for you, as I always have and always will. Its genetic destiny because my grandparents met at that college before the war. Thats right I'm fucking old school alumni. Then again I cashed in on that check by going to a state school that's claim to fame included an all day drinking event on the last day of classes and a hockey team that, after winning the DIII championship last year failed to make the big dance this year.
