Re: GW exhibition vs Ge*rgetown Oct 18

Hope this link works.  It's the Post article about the game that all but ended the series.  GW overcame a 17 point deficit only to ultimately lose in double overtime.  Some great GW mentions including Curtis Jeffries, Wilbert Skipper, Randy Davis, Paul Gracza, and of course, Bob Tallent who would be coaching in his final season at GW. After this game, Thompson said that he'd honor next year's matchup against GW at the Cap Centre because it was already on the books but that would be that.  In that final meeting, freshman Mike Brown outscored freshman Pat Ewing 14-9 but the Hoyas won by 13 without much of a struggle.  Brownie and Pat argued throughout much of the game as Mike knew all about Ewing's intimidation tactics and wasn't having any of it.  A few years later, I had the chance to ask Pat what it was like going up against Mike that night and he gave a less than enthusiastic "he was OK" type response.  Couldn't offer praise to a freshman who scored 14 on him?

Re: GW exhibition vs Ge*rgetown Oct 18

I don't care that this is an exhibition because it'll probably the most anticipated game of the season, at least for most GW fans. I think someone else already suggested it, but I imagine no regular season GW game will draw as many fans as this exhibition.

I'm not expecting it, but maybe this will be the beginning of DC's version of the Big 5 Classic.  Revs, Terps, Hoyas, Patriots, and Eagles.  Would be terrific for the city.

Twerps and Pats play outside of the Beltway and you forgot the Bison. I, too, hope that the game draws a (paying) crowd and with that the hachet is burried between GW and its little neighbor so they can resume a regularly-played series.

I think it was 61 or 62 at Georgetown. GW Freshman  beat the Georgetown Freshman in overtime with 3 men to their 5. I think it was Kenny Leggins, Mark Clark and Joe Mullins.

Just an FYI...

Heard from a fellow poster on here that the ticket office is saying that if you're a renewing season ticket holder (or, I guess, first time season ticket purchaser), you must purchase your season tickets by July 15th in order to receive the Georgetown exhibition as part of your package. 

After July 15th, you will have to pay separately for the game,
