I just wanted to give a quick shout to the HB seniors, who DFW does a great job of honoring on the front basketball page of hoyasaxa.com. I have known most of you since the Rally in 2004, so it is amazing to me that the lot of you could possibly be seniors already. But I really enjoyed working with 2007, St. Pete, TBird, CAHoya, FLHoya, RB, Jersey and everyone there. What we set out to do- raise the profile of the program when it fell on hard times- we helped achieve. What more can you ask for?
You changed the way people thought about the program. You involved thousands of people in the new generation of Hoya fans. We all owe you a debt of gratitude. You brought back the 6th man.
A job well done. Now on to beat the Huskies for the first time since I was an undergrad!

For once I agree with YB. (Just kidding)  The re-emergence of Hoya Basketball (and support for Hoya athletics in general) owes a great debt of gratitude to those who have worked so hard in HB. |

Thank you all! It's really been a pleasure working with Hoya Blue the past two years, and being a Georgetown student and fan for the past four. I'm gonna miss it a lot when I leave. It's been a lot of hard work, but it's all been worth it. So many times I think of where we were as a program during my freshman year, just three years ago, in comparison to where we are now. It's like night and day. It's really nothing short of a miracle.
Also, thank you to JT III, the staff, and all the current players, it's been remarkable to see the transformation of the program during my four years here. Really makes me appreciate where we are now, by seeing first hand where we were pre-JT III.
And thanks to 007, without whom I definitely wouldn't be where I am right now, the rest of the Hoya Blue seniors, and hell, the rest of the organization... it's really been a thrilling ride, and while tomorrow is our last home game, it's not even CLOSE to being over! Beat the Huskies tomorrow!

Thanks seniors. It'l be hard to continue on what you guys have already made. Although if you follow the path of some other HB veterans (FL) I'm sure we'll still be seeing you from time to time.

If they're giving out jerseys to the seniors tomorrow, they should give you guys the #6 jersey, each of you.
Keep it going, Hoya Saxa!

You guys were a pleasure to work with - One of the most fun times I've ever had - even when I decided to challenge the authority of certain retiring members of CSP. Anyways, you guys have a lasting legacy that I hope the rest of HB will carry on - the graying of the lower bowl, student ticket sales, and student fan experience are all directly attributable to you guys. If I had my way you'd get to stand up there with Kenny, Sead, and Zelos tomorrow.

Congrats, Folks! I honestly think that school spirit is higher on Georgetown's campus than it has ever been. Except possibly 1893. That was a good year. Either way, a GREAT accomplishment.
Let's hope your successors keep it up!

Come on man! Get your head in the game! They even found new fans from very unlikely places. ;D Heard it from the man himself. Hoya Blue is 100% responsible for High Fidelity Gator's 1,100 posts. |

THANKS GUYS and GALS and you all have been major contributors in turning the program around with more enthusiasm and interest in program from Students. Thanks for the hard work and often underappreciated help you give the program.

Good work by the students in general and you guys in particular. It's nice to see the student sections full of rabid fans. Warms the heart of this old man.

****applause from the West Coast****
You gals/guys deserve all the praise you've been receiving.
Remember that you should not feel like your graduation marks an end to your heavy involvement with Georgetown and its athletic endeavors/successes. I look forward to seeing you carry your enthusiasm and excellence into the Young Alumni club and beyond. Congratulations again!
