WVU Twitterati, time to buck up and #BeatSU #BeatSyracuse

Syracuse homer and friend of WVMS.com and our @Mountaineer twitter feed, Hoya Suxa from NunesMagician.com made a post today that is, to me is like a big white glove slap in the face dual challenge. Well SIR, we accept your challenge and the weapon has been chosen, Twitter!

Read his post below:

#BeatWVU Tomorrow

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, the Syracuse Twitterati has been hammering hashtag beatdowns on the Friday before each of the Orange’s football games this season.

Tomorrow it will continue with #BeatWVU.

Sean has been publishing “Best Of” posts on Friday evenings recapping the hashtag activity. Tomorrow, though, looks like it could be the ugliest of all the hashtag affairs. The Syracuse Twitterati is growing crazy large and active, and West Virginia has a large contingent as well. Friday should be the apex of this little experiment.

I highly encourage everyone to get on Twitter for, at a minimum, tomorrow. It’s worth it, not only for the hashtag cracks but the live-game commentary is rock solid. The stuff you will see will make you laugh and probably cringe.

This is West Virginia, people, and the shit is going to be hitting the fan from sunrise to sunset.

For the members of the Syracuse Twitterati, I say this: Bring good shit tomorrow. Don’t bother Googling cracks because we’ve already seen that tired stuff a thousand times before. We’re definitely winning in quantity and fervor, now it’s time to refine and smack some quality.

A 140-character crack is tough to make, but with a short hashtag this week, there’s no excuse for a resounding victory.

So WVU Mountaineer Twitterati, it’s time to show these fruits, er.. Orangemen what Mountaineer Nation is all about. Lets take their challenge and flip it on them with the #BeatSU or #beatSyracuse hash tag.

syracuse_orangeThey say they will crack on WV and WVU pretty hard, which we all know is easy to do with the plethora of WV jokes out there. This our chance to hit them back and trust me, it’s a lot of fun to do this on Twitter.

So, like Hoya, I encourage all WVU Students, Alumni and fans to finally take the plunge and join Twitter, and make sure the first person you follow is @Mountaineer. It’s time for more WVU fans to be on Twitter anyway!

If you’re new to Twitter, join first then hit me up @Mountaineer and I’ll help explain how to do this properly. It’s super easy.

Remember when you’re making a crack at Syracuse that you tweet the #BeatSU or #BeatSyracuse hashtag!
