New CasualHoya Contest! Most Ridiculous Georgetown Memorabilia

by itsallthatmatters on Jun 8, 2010 4:50 PM EDT in Casual Contests

In just under 2 hours, Steven Strasburg will surely pitch the third perfect game of this young season thus rejuvenating DC professional sports, serving as a launching pad to a Hall of Fame career, paving the way for an undefeated Redskins season and a scandal-free Arenas summer.

Due to the overwhelming response to our pleas to take headbands on the road with you, we now ask for new documentation - this time the most absurdly out of place Georgetown memorabilia your camera phone can find.

Documentation after The Jump:

For round one, please accept this photo of someone wearing a GERALD RILEY t-shirt to last Friday's Nats game. Was it the only one ever sold? Is it a joke? Does anyone know this person?

Entirely possible that OldHoya wins this contest with his one of a kind sweatshirt.

Dammit

Hadn’t considered that as a possibility. Apologies to Mr. Riley – we applaud his support of the hapless Nats

Not so fast

I saw Darrel Owens wearing a Darrel Owens jersey inside the Georgia Dome during the 2007 final four.

Great pitcher

Not only did Livan record 3 strikeouts in 6 innings but it was the first balk I’ve seen in person in the big leagues.

Stay hot, Nats

by itsallthatmatters on Jun 8, 2010 5:14 PM EDT up reply actions

he's got a 2.22 ERA

BEST PITCHER EVER

Good talk.

Fantasy sports are for fools

Except, of course, for the Casual World Cup Soccerball Tournament now on ESPN

To be fair

He was never the same after the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th

Speaking of which

Still waiting to hear if my friend/GU alum/ranked competitive eater Nasty Nate will be in the Nathan’s contest this year. He was in it in 2008. Sadly Casual wasn’t around back then to give him the well deserved publicity that HoyaTalk did not.

This HAS TO HAPPEN

ALL CAPS IS THE BEST

Casually.

I had a feeling

You guys would be all over this. I’ll drop him a line for you.

That's outstanding

Casual a far better journalist than LordNick

Colleague had cherry picked tix expecting last Friday to be Strasburg debut. His loss was my gain (though the bbq sucks now – what happened to Red, Hot, and Blue?).

In brighter news, I’ll be squeezing into a seat to watch Strasburg dominate the world. Sadly, I have lost my headband.

I will be documenting unusual georgetown attire

Riley Shirt

Those beautiful baby blue shirts where the free hands outs at senior day…which I believe was attended by less than 100 fans so everyone (including the random SE DC church groups used to fill the stands) collected multiple shirts.

Equally ridiculous to a Riley Senior Day shirt is his Jersey still being used in the dress like a hoya contest.

Section 101.

Which is why

You always root for lil Trenton Hillier instead.

Verified

But what would you call yourself if they were to update the jerseys?

I have a Brendan Gaughan Craftsman Truck Series flier autographed by him (when he brought his truck to a football game) on my fridge. I had waited over 10 years (my 12 year old heart loved the dorky white guy of the Iverson era) to meet him and it was worth it.
