"Hoya Fans,

Georgetown University's Gaston Hall will be the next site for ESPN's "Homecoming" series, as noted sports journalist Rick Reilly will interview Hoya legend Alonzo Mourning on Thursday, July 23 at 8 p.m. The one-on-one interview will air on Thursday, August 6 on ESPN.

Tickets to be part of the studio audience are free and will be given out on a first-come, first-served RSVP basis.

To request tickets, please e-mail your full name, age, phone number, e-mail address, and how many tickets you are requesting (maximum of 2) to Hoyas Unlimited at [e-mail]

We look forward to seeing you at this very special event. Hoya Saxa!

Hoya Hoop Club"


I hope that they take questions from the audience, especially if they're about sportswriters who trot out the same doggerel year after year.

[tlphoya]

I just got an e-mail confirming my 'reservation' for the event. It had gone to my junk folder so keep your eyes open if you requested tickets.

[PhillyHoya]

Be sure to read the email they sent us closely. We have to send in a second email rsvp to the address in the email.

Have people gotten calls from the ESPN/Onset Productions people confirming attendance? I did, and just want to make sure it wasn't because I somehow got myself into a special section that is going to have to ask questions or participate in some way...

[HoyaSinceBirth]

No they called me too. and said they'd call again the day before the taping to confirm again.

I don't think we do. It's mostly a copy of the ESPN emails/info sheet that they attached. I RSVP'd with both ESPN and GU (and frankly I trust ESPN's operation a little bit more). I'm going with what ESPN does/says. I got the phone call the other day, confirmed my attendance, and anticipate the one Wednesday.

Georgetown's front lawn is filled with trucks for the event. Wow... Two huge eighteen wheelers (one parked in front of Healy, the other around the circle), two other cargo trucks, two large cherry pickers (looks like they'll be holding up lights for the facade of Healy).

[lichoya68]
