I'm a loser so I was over on GMU's board looking for responses to their tough loss to Nova a few minutes ago.

While I was there I found this creation of the GW athletic department

Awesome

Probably not going to show that one to my GW-educated girlfriend. Probably not.

The battle to "reign supreme over the Orange Line?" A "Buff-out?" Yikes.

[Coast2CoastHoya]

Holy crap that's funny. And I love how they can get away with the "Battle of the Orange Line" rhetoric because GU isn't technically on it.

God I wish we played them every year.

The best part about this? Apparently there were signs posted on GW's campus advertising this same site...

Unfortunately they were citing beatgeorgmason.com

Nothing like a WG education!

They had me at the game-show style ticker that shows the number of unsold tickets. ;D

This appears to be WG's "show 'em your serious" season. Between the Smith Center renovation, new amenities for season ticket holders, better communication from the Athletic Dept (the thought of anyone associated with McD posting on Hoyatalk cracks me up, but some higher up from GW's athletic dept did it on GWHoops over the summer), and this goofy website, they're really gonna capitalize on the momentum from their Top Ten ranking and NCAA Tournament...

...oh wait, that was three seasons ago. Never mind.

I don't work in VA anymore so I haven't seen the GMU ads yet. Do their ads on buses this year still tout their final four appearance like they still did last year?

[vcjack]

Obama was at the Smith Center today to watch as his brother in law's Oregon State squad got a road win over the Colonials.

Cool for them, but it seems like they still have an uphill battle to get people interested in GW basketball again

yes the George Mason ads do still tout their final four appearance. I like how there are only 725 tickets left! Better hurry. lol.

There were 900-something left when I wrote my first message in this thread 10 days ago.

Soooooo....uhhhhhh, get 'em while they're hot?

(EDIT: Alluded to above, but then there's this: boards.caazone.com/showpost.php?p=1155139&postcount=115 .

If you were going to make a list of the Top 20 "Non-Game Observations"--so, events that happened at Georgetown games that didn't necessarily have to do with the basketball game--the Charlie Daniels/Ballroom Dancing incident would be #1 with a bullet, but the "WG incident would easily be Top 5.)

Well, this is fun:

Classic. For a minute there, I thought the first video would morph into a HHH/DX (or XD if you will) spot ending with the obligatory "and if you're not down with that..." remark.

[HoyaSinceBirth]

Day before the game and there are still 505 tickets left in their 5,000 seat gym.

Sportsy Bog takes up the mantle of mockery, thanks to those Youtube videos I think...

Craiggers is doing the game for MASN. Now you have to watch.

[TrueHoyaBlue]

Going onto the site today -- the ticker reads "-1 days until" the game!

I had no idea countdown tickers could go below zero!
