#3. Top-seeded Syracuse is getting beaten by 8-seed GU in the BET Semis in 2000. During a time-out, both mascots take the floor to pump up their respective fan bases, and an altercation (real? staged? unknown) breaks out. Mascot Jack tackles Otto, whose rotund, plush orange body makes him like a turtle on his back, and he rolls around for a few seconds before someone comes over and helps him up. GU upsets SU. BONUS FUNNIES: Eton Thomas crying post-game.
#2. 2000 (or 2001), drummer in the GU band gets us a bench technical.
#1. Saturday noon winter break game against Rutgers in the ill-fated 2003-04 season, the few fans in the arena are dead-silent while a Rutgers player lines up to shoot a free throw. Right as he starts his shooting motion, student section fan in the second row with beer-in-hand goes "Hey [player's name], how da ya like the girls in Jerrrrrzzeeeyyyy." Rutgers guy stops his shooting motion, drops his hands, chuckles, shakes his head. Misses free throw.
HONORABLE MENTION: the 1998-99 Media Sluts' outfits. My personal favorites were tin foil guy and Christmas tree light guy.

Can't blame Braswell too much because there was literally no one else on the team at the time who could shoot from outside.

Constantin Popa.
Somebody at The Hoya later used whatever passed for photoshop in those days to create a photo of Popa squeezing Robert Churchwell's head with a caption that said, "Ow. Ouch. Ow. Let go." It was bizarre and hilarious. I wish I had a copy of that.
