MASN is showing an old Georgetown game tonight and I keep flipping to it.
Georgetown vs Virginia from December 11, 1982.
Even though I know that the Hoyas lose this game against the #1 ranked Cavaliers, I am absolutely mesmerized by so many different aspects of what my eyes are seeing.
The Capital Centre logo reminds me of being a little kid. I can remember going to games and getting stuck at the Wilson Bridge when it was up on the way home. It happened more often that you think.
Ewing is running around like a gazelle. I bet you he weighs more than 100 lbs right now than he did during this game.
The production graphics are incredible. Incredibly bad.
The announcers sound like they are from the deep, deep South. And since the game is on Turner Sports, I imagine that they most likely are good ol' boys
The UVA fans look as annoying as ever with their bow ties.
The Georgetown cheerleaders are as bad as ever.
I think Bob Wade is behind the Hoyas bench. Speaking of the bench, Craig Esherick looks hilarious.
The Hoyas don't really run any offense. They press like hell and just toss the ball around the perimeter until somebody either gets the ball down low or just takes a shot.
The most impressive part of the entire game is the fact that Public Address Announcer is the same guy that still does it today - Father McFadden. I was actually thinking during the last home game about how weird it will be when he isn't the one on the microphone calling out substitutions, fouls, and made baskets. I'm going to just pretend that that day will never come.
Another Hoyas related thing going on right now- Wake Forest v UNC- Greensboro. Nikita Mescheriakov is playing for the Demon Deacons. He's having a decent game but he's still a fouling machine. Wake isn't very good but at least he's playing. I guess.
Peace Brah
