GCU Now Thinks They’re Relevant

Over the weekend, the guys over at GCU Barstool sent out a tweet announcing their upcoming lacrosse games. A harmless tweet, no doubt, yet nevertheless an opportunity for us to show some confidence in our squad against what has been the best lacrosse team in the country (we’ll always give credit where credit is due, the Lopes can lax).

Our tweet back at GCU had an unfortunate typo, and the lacrosse game didn’t go our way. We can’t win ’em all, and were worried about hearing it from the Lopes later that day. With that said, what we saw from GCU was more troublesome than we could have ever imagined. Guys, we regret to inform you that it appears the ungodly Arizona heat has gone to the heads of GCU students, so much so that they now truly believe that they go to a relevant school.

Crazy, right? We were shocked too, but here’s the proof

The boys over there thought it’d be fun to go through some of our past tweets, so we thought it’d only be right to address a few things.

First off, they wanted to talk shit because we said we partied. Honestly, it’s hard to blame them. When you try to party in the shadow of ASU and U of A, and the only worse party school in your state than you is Arizona Christian University, it’s hard not to be insecure.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, correct us if we’re wrong, but it seems like they actually tried to claim that their weather in the middle of the desert is better than ours at our beach resort of a campus. Wouldn’t be surprising if their good ol’ Grand Canyon education didn’t teach them about the weather, but when they’re living in 105° summer days and 40° winter nights, we’ll still be tossing racks with clear skies and mid 70’s year-round.

Finally, these guys actually had the balls to talk shit about the Big West… FROM THE WESTERN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE. The WAC is so unbelievably bad that they couldn’t even get 2 schools from the same state to want to be in it.

At the end of the day, these guys tried to tell us to know our place. Our place just happens to be one of the best places to live in the country. Meanwhile, you guys are in the middle of the desert, and actually have to tell people you go to school at Grand Canyon University. Honestly, from the bottom of our hearts, we’re sorry. That must be rough.

So no, you guys don’t own us, and it’s really not even close. Not a single notable alum, or anything notable about your school in general besides your lacrosse team, so enjoy that while it lasts. And to be honest, while we could own you in a heartbeat, I think we’ll take a pass and leave that to ASU and U of A.

Hey, keep your heads up. You tweeted this, so you’re not wrong about everything, just pretty damn close to everything.
