Agreed - I think that works very well.

We believe that our basketball team is demonstrably better than yours, We also feel that their play and the final score will reflect this reality. I actually think this one would be funny. Father, Son and Hoya Spirit will never be an option for this shirt. I have nothing against the phrase, but it is simply too controversial for a shirt like this. This is about bringing people together and uniting us all as Georgetown fans, and we simply cannot be using something that offends certain people and divides us. You know, you are probably right about that. But I can't for the life of me understand how that phrase could be offensive to anyone. I wouldn't be offended by it... I just wouldn't wear it.

I think I'll make my own "Father, Son and Hoya Spirit" shirt.

Here's an important question -- how do we actually GET one of these shirts this year? I was unable to get a shirt this past year despite my best efforts.

I like the Unfinished Business as a realistic shirt. I think it gets the point across of what the standards should be set at for the upcoming season.

As for how to get the "Father, Son, and Hoya Spirit" shirts, I know kids were just kind of selling them around campus last year, in Red Square, etc. That is how friends of mine got it, not sure if there was a more official way to get a hold of one.
Unfinished business sounds good to me... obviously its still early though so seeing what JTIII has to say after Jeff's decision (or anything he has to say regarding next season) to work into a shirt would be ideal.

People have been good about getting this thread back on topic but I just wanted to reiterate this is not the place to debate "Father, Son, and Hoya Spirit."

I actually don't like the unfinished business. I don't know if it was said by Coach but if it wasn't I would rather have one of his quotes or one of the players' quotes. No matter who said it, even though I do believe that the championship should be our goal, I don't think the quote represents the program. At this point it looks like it represents Roy.
In comparison with our other quotes it would look out of place. The others were inspirational, showed our history. Unfinished business sounds polemic. Not classy enough.

I like BACK FOR SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS - and I also think it is a Roy Hibbert quote.

Please, no "Unfinished Business". It sounds like one of those pathetic pro teams' "One Team, One City, One Goal" tripe. If we have to do that, how about "We Are Not Done", which is at least a III quote (http://guhoyas.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/050307aaa.html).
And "Father, Son, and Hoya Spirit" was done last year, albeit in an unofficial shirt. Let's move on.
I, personally, like "How Long's It Been?". It can refer to a lot of things - how long since GU won the national championship, since they made the Final Four, since they won the BET. Pride mixed with desire - what the past two shirts communicated very well.

Of all those suggested, I think "We Are Not Done" is the best so far. It takes the best of Roy's quote and makes it a team thing. It also goes well with the overall theme of the shirt:
We Are/Not Done We Are/Georgetown

i joined hoyatalk just so i could comment on this thread. i agree with exorcist and hoya4ever that 'unfinished business' sends the wrong message. it implies that a) last season wasn't great (which it clearly was.) b) we only care about winning championships and not just a great season overall. and c) it also puts pressure on the team itself from us, which they dont need.
ill try to think of some other suggestions instead of just being a complainer.

We should utilize one of Roy's ridiculous away message quotes.
I vote for either:
"I am making it a rule for this semester that NO notes will be taken in any of my notebooks. I am taking a stand and I am not gonna take it!!!!!"
...or...
"It puts the lotion on the body or it gets the hose."
EDIT: Or use the quotes in my avatar or signature line. They're all classic.

People have been good about getting this thread back on topic but I just wanted to reiterate this is not the place to debate "Father, Son, and Hoya Spirit." Exactly where is the place to debate "Father Son and Hoya Spirit", which is an ingenious turn of phrase if I've ever heard one. While I have realized that will never be on the official Georgetown shirt, I think the opposition to it here is rather foolish. As far as I know, Georgetown continues to be a Catholic, Jesuit University despite the blackmarket printing of FS&HS tees last year, so I question why some feel that message is so disruptive.

'Our Cheerleaders Could Stop Traffic but Our Hoops Team Will Whoop Your ASS!' In my recollection our cheerleaders couldn't stop traffic if you gave them an orange vest and a stop sign. Perhaps things on the hilltop have improved?
