This Georgetown Game Feels Eerily Familar

PrintI'm not going to lie, I'm pretty optimistic about tomorrow's game against Georgetown. I have no stats to back this up, but only for the fact that this game feels almost exactly like the 2010 game. This will probably end in complete and utter failure tomorrow morning, but just roll with it.
Georgetown is a nationally ranked team (#8 in 2010, #14 in 2012) that dominated a national power in their previous game (Duke in 2010, UConn in 2012). After their game against the Bulls, the Hoyas take on one of their fiercest rivals (Villanova in 2010, Syracuse in 2012). USF is having unprecedented success in the Big East, and could reach even greater heights with a win (4 game winning streak in 2010, 4 games over .500 in conference play in 2012). Add the fact that the crowd will be just as sparse with the 11 AM start time and all we need to do is find Dominique Jones some extra eligibility. Given our Compliance Ninjas success over the years, this might be a possibility.
Not saying this will help, just saying.

I will never forget my first GU-USF game
Georgetown had just lost to UConn and everyone was freaked out about playing #1 Duke the next week, but before that showdown we had South Florida for the first time in Big East play.
The result: a harrowing and uncomfortable 50-47 Hoya win, after which we completely expected to get crushed by Duke…but that turned out ok…of course we still managed to give USF their first Big East win ever after beating Cuse to end the regular season, but whatever.
Anyway the creepiest part of the first game was the group of USF fans that invaded the student section (yes, it has sucked for years). There were three or four screeching harpies who were so effective at screaming and chanting while we were shooting that to this day I get randomly haunted during games. Based on their attire (there were a lot of beads and sunglasses) and chanting, those around them dubbed them the “Voodoo witches (or maybe something worse)”, but it was all in good fun.
Still, visiting this blog brings back those memories. You guys are all fun Voodoo people, but save your mojo and premonitions for someone else, please. Hope we get a good game tomorrow.
