That high-pitched whining you'll hear as you're tailgating? Yep, that's my whistle-tip! Woo-Wooooo!

Before trying to challenge Air Jordan's commitment to devour (literally--see below ;D ;D) every opponent, how about we come up with some liquid alternatives off the menu (roster)?

You realize that with the precedent you've set, you've got to eat a steamboat captain before Friday night... It might be easier just to eat a Lionel Ritchie CD. ;D
For the 3/23 Meadowlands tailgate, ordering options could be:
The SHAN---aka FOSTER's (c'mon, it's Australian for beer, mate!) The KING---Budweiser, of course! (the former UNC Point Guard is a VU assistant) The gin ALEX---abbreviating the gin alexander (yes, it's a real [nasty] drink) w/ GORDON's Gin
I'd suggest replaing that last one with a simple gin & tonic!

Couldn't be happier about getting involved with the activites in northern NJ. Congrats on the first post Steny. I know you've been busy, what with the new majority and all. Glad you'll be able to make the trip up to NJ.

Listen, I'm dragging a Seton Hall alum, kicking and screaming, to the games this weekend to show him what good basketball is all about- it doesn't get much rougher than that.

I will be there along with Mysterious Mason (the fan credited by JT Jr. with winning the Georgetown-BC game in 1979), VictorSkyPage and JahidiHoya. HoyaChris, could expand on that story for those of us not around yet? I was about -4 years old. The Mysterious one had a yell that he used during opponent's free throws that sounded like a 200 decibel turkey on crack. It was extremely effective, so much so that it got him assaulted by opponent's fans on a number of occasions, including when former WG star Pat Tallent (the brother of the head coach) attacked Mason in McDonough after a critical WG miss in the game that Craig Esherick sent to overtime with his half court shot at the buzzer. In the particular game at Boston College in 1979-80 - the Big East's first season - the Hoyas were down by three late with BC at the line. There were about five Hoya fans in the entire gym, and the place was dead silent as the BC player went to the line. Mason, on crutches but nevertheless well lit up, let out his poultry scream and the BC player air balled the free throw, whereupon Mason was attacked by a group of BC fans. The Hoyas went back down the court and Mike Frazier was fouled on a basket at the buzzer. He made the free throw. This was before the 3 point field goal rule was in effect, so why BC was even trying to defend the play is unclear. The Hoyas won in overtime. As luck would have it, Mason was on the same flight to DC as the Hoyas the next morning. John Duren recognized him and brought the team over to thank him. When they got back to D.C. they insisted that he ride back to Georgetown with them on the team bus and then JT Jr. drove him from campus to his home. The lesson for all of us. What have you done to help your Hoyas win today?

Also another lesson: The Silence followed by well timed apocalyptic sounding noise method works. We should get the two student sections (the GU section and the GUsc section) on board with this one. It definitely would have worked in W-S last week, and it has potential in the Dirty Jerz. Coordination, folks, that's the key. Someone draw up a game plan.

It might not be a cracked-out turkey whistle but I bet BubbRubb has something on his muffler... wooo wooo I'm not kidding when I say that whistle tips will be present at this game. Unfortunately, my supplier ran out of the inner-ear-busting model, so we'll have to come up with something else for fouling up free throws (get it?).

I am duly impressed. Will you all be wearing dog masks? While I won't be wearing a mask, linking up Jahidi with His Mysteriousness will be a magical bridge across generations. Jahidi wears a dog mask and Mason used to come to games in a ski mask.

Wow. I am absolutely without words. What a great story.
It will be an absolute honor to join you and His Mysteriousness at a game of such magnitude!
I have a story that I can share with you that serves as a nice bookend to this tale (BC and Esherick are involved), but it is one that I do not ever post. It is a perfect story to share over a beer in the Meadowlands parking lot!
Wow. I am going to be in the midst of a legend. I cannot wait.
