| SU scores 75 points and it's Mexcellent party for everyone |
Syracuse basketball fans who are also taco lovers should appreciate the fact that they have it much better than other fans bases. You see, during Syracuse home games, every time the Orange score more than 75 points, ticket holders can redeem their stub for a free taco. Sometime when games get out of hand, chanting for tacos breaks out.
And make no mistake, when that magical taco-standard is reached, the food service workers on campus are ready.
And they better be ready often, as the Orange have hit the free taco mark in 10 of the team's 14 home games so far this season. To put that in perspective, every time SU plays a home game, there's a 70% chance attendees are eligible for a free taco.
Contrast that with the fans in Western Carolina, who need to see their team score 100 to snag a free, delicious mexican treat. If that were the standard in Central New York, fans would have had to pay for every taco they've consumed so far this season.
Of course, when Western Carolina actually wins by more than 100, I think the fans deserve a free burrito - or at the very least a quesadilla, but that's just one man's opinion.
The bottom line is, if you're a Syracuse fan who goes to home games, you have access to a bounty of free tacos that others can only dream about, so if you want to know why SU plays so many home games, the answer is simple - the University is trying to feed the community......with free tacos.

It used to be that when SU hit 100 points you could get free fries at Burger King. This was in the high-flying, pre-parity days of Sherm Douglas and those guys. They'd regularly roll up 100 points in those November/December games. (For instance, 5 times in 7 home games December '87, which is the first year I happened to look up.) "Taco Time"'s 75-point threshold is pathetic compared to the true achievement of earning everyone Free Fries.
