Since we graduated in the same year I bet we went to a lot of games together. I was based in Madison Hall. You may have also gone to Maryland when our great freshman team played their freshman team. Pat Tallent etc. Of all your games the ones I didn't go to was any in Philly or Barclay. Of course I was in Nashville and Greensborough for the NCAA. I will never forget going to Catholic and Ronnie Nunn saying to us in jest "CU later". Then we proceeded to lose that game. Ugh! But stealing the Drum at McDonough was for our final game was great.

Love this.

TC you are right.  I did see us play at Maryland. That makes 27 for me. And we sat together at more than one A-10 tournament game but I cannot remember if it was in Philadelphia, Atlantic City or both or some other place.

Not in Philly. But I also remember going to West Virginia for an A10 tourney and Rutgers. In felt like WVU had the best arena for basketball I ever saw. Nice seats all around. The Mountaineer shooting off the musket was a real blast.

I haven't traveled to an away game in a few years, so this thread is bringing up some fond memories of east coast road trips with friends, and family vacations planned around road game schedules. With the addition of Loyola Chicago, I'm looking forward to planning a trip there to see GW play.

I must be old, the only opposing school gym I ever saw GW play was at McDonough. I know this subject has been beat to death but its been 43 years! What is wrong with those people at Georgetown? They are close enough the team could easily walk there. I think the only closer Div 1 schools are Penn and Drexel.

Thanks to LA Colonial for starting this discussion of places we have watched the Colonials. I have 32 listed below; thought it might be the most of our fan group given I go back 57 years but LSF has a couple more than I do.

AT Hiker, what about the tournament at Naples, Florida?

AT Hiker? What parts of the AT? I didn;t really hike much in the AT's till I went to Tennessee. Then after spending a lot of time in NC, GA, TN I finally did the AT in New Jersey.  Most people have no idea the AT is in NJ. 

Great job AT!  I roamed Cherokee National Forest, GSMNP, and Joyce Kilmer from 1974-1981. Who knows, maybe I met you in one of the shelters on the AT in '78. Many fellow backpackers favored Cherokee because it was less crowded and you could set up anywhere. Joyce Kilmer was a favorite because it was never logged. Many times when I was leaving GSMNP I use to give AT Through Hikers what I had left in my food pack like GORP, Yorgurt covered Almonds, various juices, etc. They were very happy to get the treats. One guy was willing to give up his girlfriend hiker for other stuff I had. 78 was a good year.
