The Stonewalls would like you to join them in Red Square on Sunday at 4:30pm to participate in a march through campus to the Athletic Department’s Selection Sunday watch party. A popular tradition among soccer supporter clubs is to march to the stadium before games. We hope that this will create even more excitement for what should be an incredible event. We will be bringing the scarves, tifos and flags, and as always, keeping it loud and rowdy!
Please make sure to arrive promptly at 4:30 pm as we would like to be at Leo’s before the team arrives at 5 pm. Once we arrive at Leo’s, there will be free food (including new and better options from years past), your favorite basketball team, and another important detail: we will be shown live on CBS during their Selection Sunday broadcast, so it’s important that we represent Georgetown well.
The Athletic Department is stipulating all attendees must wear either BLUE or GRAY (we encourage gray) to gain entrance into Leo’s for this event.
Thanks to all for your support during a fantastic regular season. Let’s continue the momentum as the Hoyas make their way through March! HOYA SAXA!

Inching ever closer to my dream that you guys would march from campus to the phone booth before every home game.

Awesome news .. I'd like to add that not only does the team deserves support, but so do the Stonewalls. They have done an incredible job of rejuvenating fan support in some rather unconventional ways, and its great to see JTIII appreciates it.
Can't attend in person, but I'll be there in spirit. Hope to see video on CBS.

I'd love a recap of the march as well as the selection sunday event. What did coach and the team say? Did they seem relaxed, tense, confident?

I'd love a recap of the march as well as the selection sunday event. What did coach and the team say? Did they seem relaxed, tense, confident? Here's the March: 4:30: Bunch of Stonewalls and students stand around while a group of 3 drummers and the mascot are the center of attention. There are around 7-8 people waving giant Hoyas flags. I would guesstimate between 75-200 marchers total. Not bad for the first march. 4:40: Aaron Bowen appears in his warm up suit and chats with the fans. 4:45: The other team members straggle in groups of 2 or 3 and sit down on some stone bricks near the trees and shrubbery in the corner of Red Square near Copley. Nobody really approaches them till Porter comes and then Porter is surrounded by some fans. Markel mingles with the crowd in the center. 4:50: JTIII appears unassumingly in the crowd in the SW corner. I don't think everyone noticed he was there. He took pictures with around 15 people. 5:00 JTIII goes to the center of red square and says some words then the march to Leo's starts (Via Copley and then a right at the Library) This was actually really fun. The students, kids, Stonewalls and fans walk along with the players and JTIII as the drummers drum and flags wave. Bowen grabs a giant Georgetown flag and starts waving it as he marches. Josh Smith walks with Moses as they chat. Lubick with Tyler Adams and Bolden. DSR wears his glasses. Didn't see who it was but somebody of some importance raced by the march in a golf cart. Someone said it was the President. I assume he meant DeGioia and not Obama. At the bottom of the hill in front of Leo's, cheerleaders and the band are waiting for the marchers who gather around in a circle. JTIII and the players enter the circle. JTIII being new to this whole march thing, says something like, "Uh, I guess we go in now" which draws a laugh and then III and the team walk into Leo's.
