Some of the infinite reasons Georgetown sucks
Here’s looking at you, “Hoyas”
Coming up this Saturday is the famed Syracuse v. Georgetown basketball game. In honor of this decade long tradition of disdain, here is every reason Georgetown sucks
What the hell is a Hoya Saxa?
“Hoya Saxa”? Seriously? This translates to “what rocks”. There is not school-affiliation in your motto, no pride, no camaraderie. I mean c’mon, it’s not even one cohesive language! First Greek (“hoya”) then Latin (“saxa”). Plus, the offensive puns stemming from Hoya Saxa are infinite: “Your mother’s a Hoya”, “Hoya Sucks-a” to name a few.
Cool, unique Bulldogs!
The bulldog may be the most overused mascot in sports – college and high school. Good job, Georgetown, you couldn’t even come up with something somewhat original. Your mascot is a bulldog, yet your known as a multi-lingual catch phrase. Something doesn’t add up…
3 to 1
Since 1976 Georgetown has had three separate head coaches. Syracuse has had one: Jim Boeheim. Boeheim is a legend, and Georgetown can’t even compare. Sorry, Georgetown!
Georgetown isn’t even a city
Georgetown is a neighborhood – not a city, not even a suburb. Why would you name a university after a neighborhood? There’s no “Tribeca University” or “South Boston College”, and for good a reason. It’s not unique, it’s just dumb.
Sweet 16 Appearances
Georgetown has had 11 Sweet 16 games. That’s not too bad for you, Georgetown! I mean, nothing compared to the 22 appearances Syracuse has gained over the years. But 50% isn’t that bad, right?
NBA Icons
While Georgetown conjures up a NBA player every few seasons, Syracuse has consistently put players into the NBA. Georgetown has been riding on their fame from Patrick Ewing since 1985 – maybe it’s time for the Hoyas to make another icon. Oh wait, all the greats choose Syracuse instead!
They literally banned oranges last year
The day leading up to last year’s big game, Georgetown banned any orange flavored or colored foods in their dining halls (psychos). They also trashed us on Yik Yak and called us stupid, so fuck them.
So if you ever can’t think of a reason Georgetown sucks (which is a given, tbh). Here’s your completed guide with just a few of the infinite reasons they are the worst. Go ‘Cuse!
