WVU classier than Syracuse? Try again.

So the Post-Standard decided to print a letter to the editor from a former West Virginia resident about the lack of class by Syracuse fans on Friday night. The author complains of chants and booing directed towards the classiest fans on the Eastern Seaboard - West Virginia faithful

Having been part of the awesome tailgating scene and great atmosphere in the Dome that night, this tells me two things.

1) The Syracuse Football fans in Syracuse showed up, were loud, were proud, and added a slight touch of perfectly acceptable hostility. "You suck" and booing really bothers you? Oh boy, just wait.

2) This writer should probably open these letters from WVU's president and AD in his or her inbox.

Hey WVU fans, please stop embarrassing us - Oliver Luck

Hey WVU fans, please stop throwing things and also embarrassing us - WVU President Jim Clements.

Yes, that's MUCH classier.

I was really impressed by the crowd on Friday night. Lets keep that momentum going. Just remember, next time you're at a game, politely clap for the opposing fans. Pin It Now!

#Shamarko's Worldwide Workout

With a bye week, cars around Syracuse got a break as #Shamarko had a few days to travel.

In his free time, #21 took a trip down to New York. As a Twitter hashtag celebrity himself, he decided to take in the #occupywallstreet protests with Kanye.

#Shamarko walks with us.

Yet instead of posturing, he was inspired to be a true man of the people.

Shamarko listens to the concerns of the crowd, and attempts to right the wrongs of the current day. All while getting a beastly workout of course.

27 months? We'll see if you're awake by then.

And then, #Shamarko took the time to deliver a blow to the man who started this whole mess.

What's worth doing is worth doing despite pain, Gordon Gecko.

After #Shamarko smacks around WVU, keep an eye out for where #21 will go next.

Remember, before you misstep, #Shamarko will find you. And he will punish you. Pin It Now!

Top 10 (Awful) WVU Athletics Photos

Well, it's back to the grind for the Cardiac Cuse this week as they host West Virginia on Friday night.

We'll be making the trip up to the Cuse from the nation's capital, and I'm sure a few of our favorite trashy West Virginia fans will make the trek up north as well.

Before you do a google image search for “Trashy West Virginia Fans” - we've gone ahead and assembled a nice little collection of them here for you.

And in consideration for any WVU fans looking for themselves, we've kept the list short so you can keep count. 

10 Best (Awful) West Virginia Pictures 

First, the honorable mention. Just too many to choose from.

Surprised he went with an undershirt at all.

You're an asshole. Better t-shirts later.

A. No!   B. Can you sound any creepier? Trust you? No thanks.

Speaking of Bad Hires

When rumors began swirling that Greg Robinson miraculously may have been in the mix for a job with the Eagles (yes, a football job), it got us thinking.

With one of the worst hires of all-time possible, what are some other historically awful hires?

- Drew Carey (The Price is Right) – Bob Who? Feel that excitement …



- Rich Kotite

I'm not going to rip on him for his Starter jacket wardrobe, because, well, we all did that in the mid 90s.

Richy Rich stepped in for Pete Carrol (another bad hire) in 1995 for the NY Jets. He took an already declining team, and sent it to new lows. 3-13 in 1995, and then the absolutely dismal 1-15 1996 season.

"In both of his seasons as head coach, the Jets had the worst record in the NFL. Two days prior to his last game as Jets coach in 1996, Kotite announced he was stepping down and has never returned to the NFL sidelines in any coaching capacity"

Slayed. Wikipedia style.

Michael Brown (FEMA) – Everyone knows being the commissioner of the Arabian Horses association prepares you well for a job in the Federal Emergency Management Agency. What’s the worst that could happen with this hire? Oh …

#BeatTulane - Hopefully this isn't their gameplan

On the eve of the Tulane contest, we hope that Syracuse's football fortunes change.

As Dave Rahme pointed out this morning, Rutgers basically dared Syracuse to beat its corners, and the Orange wideouts couldn't.

The team is not only desperate for a playmaker, but some wrinkles in an offense that has become quite predictable.

Now, I know Marrone helped the Saints offense put up spectacular numbers, and that he's working with a more limited crop of talent at SU, but I expect more. My man crush on Dougles has been well stated, but the offensive playcalling is an area that he (and as a result, Nathaniel Hackett) must improve on.

Shamarko's Worldwide Workout

After hearing about #Shamarko's unorthodox and superhuman workouts, it got us thinking. What else does The Man do in his spare time, while we sit on our couches?


Someone, our spy didn't get tackled by Shamarko, and was able to capture a few of #21's exploits.

The fiercest member of New York's College Team stands up for the little guys.

Pants on the ground? You on the ground! Sorry Selena.
