I have a confession to make about the Chipotle Curse

As you may know a big part of our Syracuse Hate Week was a celebration of the so-called "Chipotle Curse" which Syracuse fans felt had infected their team. The Otto-man empire was convinced that the food chain was haunting their team and I was all too happy to play along. I ate Chipotle every day for a week in the hopes that it would appease whatever mystical spirits inhabit those delightful lime chips. The stated reason for this was because I wanted Syracuse to lose, not just because it would mean UConn won, but because it would mean Chipotle bore no ill-will toward the Huskies.
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.
The Chipotle curse is real folks, and it haunts us all. So I'll join the Syracuse nation in solidarity to say this: never eat Chipotle on game day. Nothing good can come of it.

This is not good.
Everytime someone says the word “Chipotle,” I have to get one. I cant help myself. It is what it is.
I am to Chipotle as Geoegetown is to meth. It’s that simple.
I dont care what anyone says, I am going to watch the game while eating a burrito. Hell, we always get off to a slow start anyways….

It might actually extend to just THINKING about eating Chipotle.
Last Friday it snowed here, and as the whole world now knows, the Dallas/Fort Worth area does not have snow plows. I was going to struggle my way to our nearest Chipotle to try and bring the curse down on Syracuse, but my wife talked me out of it. “You don’t even know that… thing is real!” she said. (Counseling may be in order.)
Even though I never actually got to Chipotle, the damage was done. USF lost by 23 points and spent the whole game in I-don’t-give-a-crap mode. CURSE.

Chipotle took our jaaaabbbbs
All Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants in Virginia and Washington, D.C., will be audited by federal immigration officials as part of a wider government crackdown on companies that hire undocumented workers.

Well, look
If you had to choose between hiring illegal aliens and Georgetown students, you’d make the same choice. NEVER let a Hoya touch your burrito.
