Tonight, Georgetown plays host to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, and it’s really important that the fans who make it to Chinatown bring their A game. I know the game is important for the struggling Hoyas who need to start off February ten times better than they played in all of January. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about this.

For those of you who don’t have Facebook accounts or aren’t allowed to visit Facebook at work, let me explain what that link was. It was an invitation to tonight’s game that read

2nd Annual Costume Contest at Georgetown Men’s Basketball!

Georgetown students –

Come on out to the Men’s Basketball game vs. Rutgers on Tuesday, February 3 (7:00 PM tipoff) for the 2nd annual Costume Contest!

Wear your most outrageous costume to the game, garner the fan’s vote, and you’ll be heading to the BIG EAST Men’s Basketball Tournament in New York City this March, courtesy of Georgetown Athletics, complete with transportation courtesy of Amtrak and a game ticket to all games the Hoyas play in at MSG.

We’ll see you there!

For those of you who don’t remember, last year, the 1st Annual Costume Contest at Georgetown Men’s Basketball took place during the home game against St. John’s. From my recollection, that whole night was a lot of fun. Since the Rival Reels promotion seems to have fallen by the wayside, it’s nice to see a little bit of silliness making it’s way to the Verizon Center this year.

If you’re going to the game and you haven’t already figured out what you’re going to wear, here are some suggestions:

George W. Bush

In case you didn’t know, the Georgetown Hoyas haven’t won a game since President Obama took office. That is most certainly change we don’t want to believe in.

Now, we learned our lesson before and have decided to keep politics away from this website – something about Church and State – but I don’t think this costume would be political at all. It’s all about the juju. Maybe the problems with the Hoyas this last month haven’t had anything to do with rebounding, defense, three-point shooting, or refereeing at all. Maybe George W Bush has been Georgetown’s good luck charm, and now that he’s gone, the Hoyas’ power has gone with him. Sort of like Space Jam meets the West Wing.

Unless the real problem is that Barack Obama is Georgetown’s Kryptonite. Then we’re in real trouble.

Will Ferrell’s Wife in Old School

Even if you’ve never seen the movie Old School, you’re probably familiar with the scene where Will Ferrell goes streaking. If you’re cool with getting a Frank the Tank rump shot, here’s a link: [YouTube].

Okay, so what does this have to do with the Georgetown-Rutgers game? Why do I think Hoyas fans should dress up like Frank’s wife / Ari’s wife from Entourage? Well, at the end of the scene, she’s driving along with her friends and she sees Will Ferrell running down the street naked and she makes him get into the car.

She quickly and efficiently ended that losing streak.

I’ll be here all night.

Bonni

And lastly, someone needs to go dressed up as Bonni. Bonni’s the mascot on Brandon Bowman’s team Telekom Baskets Bonn in Germany, and I still think he’s awesome.
