Spurs fan of 37 years, Hoyas for 35, founder of DC Spurs supporters group (> 1000 members). The best rivalry stretch I've ever been a part of involved these teams. It was over consecutive weekends in February/March of 2013. - 1st weekend: Otto scores 33 at the Dome as the Hoyas hold Cuse to their lowest point total there under Boeheim.
- 2nd weekend: A dozen of us go to London to see Tottenham beat Arsenal in the North London Derby with a pre-match visit to the pitch and changing rooms.
- 3rd weekend: Our Hoyas dismantle Cuse at the Verizon Center holding them to their lowest point total under Boeheim in any venue.
But the best moment of this rivalry stretch involved my friend who is a Cuse alum and Spurs supporter. Seriously, I couldn't make this up if I tried. We're about to enter White Hart Lane and -- after a week of ribbing him about the game at the Dome -- we come across a kid wearing a Georgetown cap. He was raising money for AIDS/human trafficking relief - something my Cuse friend naturally felt was mock-worthy. I tried to get a picture of both of them, but this is the best I could get.

That was a great stretch - especially being at the Dome, 4 rows below the Anthony jersey retired that day, as the joy was squeezed out of those depressed Orange fans.
