Georgetown Fans Celebrate Festivus

There were a few days after the commitment of Aminu Mohammed where the air felt fresher, food tasted better, and Georgetown fans felt more energetic and confident than ever.

This sudden burst of excitement and optimism is outside the norm for many of us Hoya fans, who have too often been hurt before. We’re emotionally fragile, but by God, if we don’t still love to root for the Hoyas no matter how much we may get hurt!

We at Thompson’s Towel asked a simple question of our followers on Twitter yesterday to help celebrate Festivus. 

If you don’t know what Festivus is, you need to educate yourself, because you’re sorely missing out. 

An essential component of the Festivus celebration is the airing of grievances. Within the world of Seinfeld, a typical Festivus celebration begins with the airing of grievances, where you gather your friends and family around the dinner table to tell them how they’ve disappointed you over the past year. 

We asked our followers, simply put, to air their grievances about Georgetown basketball.

We’ve put together a list below of the most compelling Georgetown basketball-centric grievances that came from our followers. 

This guy’s got a point. Make the Iverson-era jerseys a regular part of the rotation again.

Look how clean they were a few weeks ago!

A hot take (but not incorrect) about Jack the Bulldog. He’s coasting on his laurels. Jack Crew isn’t helping either, pampering him and letting him slack off from doing any actual work. Make the damn dog do something again.

Outside of a giveaway at a weekday game, there’s been no way for fans to get their hands on these shirts. We want to give you our money! Make them available!

Amen.

Now I’m just sad.

Dunk City was before my time, but it’s incontrovertibly scarred an entire generation of Hoya fans.

Chris Wright played three games for the Mavericks on a ten-day contract (while battling Multiple Sclerosis). He played in the NBA; hang him up on the wall alongside all the other Hoyas who saw NBA game action. 

Teal is good, and I will die on this hill. 

And finally, this guy. He’s right, it wasn’t what the prompt asked for, but yeah, screw S.N.A.P.S (if you know, you know).
