Mods, this is strictly for fun.
I have heard some howlers in my time . . .
The tennis courts are the only reason they don't play in Yates Field House.
Pops was in the running to be Commissioner of the NBA.
Team members were not allowed to leave their dorm rooms on Sundays.
Rasheed Wallace didn't go to Georgetown because he didn't like the food.
Any others?

Pitt to Big Ten was official because athletes were told of the move in advance of public announcement.

The track had to be ripped up, because it caused a water leak into Yates. Oops, another oh, wait.

New South was built from plans originally designed for a prison. I remember that one. So you're saying that's not true?  |

I've heard the New South/prison story for years, but have never heard confirmation of it; hence, a rumor! I've also heard it was specifically the plans for a Montana state prison.
This was discussed earlier and it is an urban legend, as are the stories about the haunted 5th floor of Healy, that Harbin Hall is sinking, or that the Congress met at Gaston Hall when the Capitol was occupied by the British in the War of 1812 (which would have been highly unlikely as Healy wasn't built until 1877).--Admin

The rumor I had always heard since I was a freshman (1973) was that New South was built from plans that were to be used to design a prison in Montana. Georgetown bought the plans cheap, and given the "charm" of New South, seemed to have a degreee of plausbility to it. Now Admin has disabused me of that notion, when I always loved that rumor.

The variant I cherished was that the Bureau of Prisons had developed the prototype for a new style of women's prison but that they needed to test it first before being allowed to use it on any prisoners (since, you know, criminals have rights). So enter Georgetown, who was more than willing to house generations of Hoyas in a women's prison in exchange for reducing the cost of dorm construction. |

I heard a rumor once that there was a secret society at Georgetown, allegedly dedicated to service and tradition, but whose members were actually just a bunch of self-important LNS types who never really did anything of note. Obviously hogwash.  |

We also once had a coach who allowed 6 players to beat us and couldn't subtract 35 from 39.
