A snapshot of where it all began...
Athletic. Intelligent. Dynamic. Unselfish. Humble. A baller. A gentleman. A Hoya.
On this 2013 NBA Draft day, we thought it might be fun to do a little something festive for our Big East Player of the Year. The guy with the freshest mustache in the nation.
A group of Georgetown faculty, students, and alumni came together to code, design, and launch onlyatgeorgetown.com, a digital platform that curates Otto Porter user-generated content – yes that means all that creative goodness made by all of you. (Ahem, who says Hoyas aren't creative?)
Before you fix that hair, put on your Hoya SWAG, and rock out a shameless selfie, here are a few casual tips and guidelines…
Project #CongratsOtto
Boom: onlyatgeorgetown.com
1) Please use the #CongratsOtto hash-tag for all things digitally worthy of Otto.
2) Tweet, Vine, or Instagram your support and best wishes.
3) A CHALLENGE: We’re crowdsourcing a song for Otto. Yes. We need your sexy voice (and dance moves).
Vine yourself karaoke-ing a few lyrics of "#22" -- see below. We’ll be compiling the best clips at the end of the weekend to form a whole song. Yes, it will be better than Christmas morning. Yes, you can sing it at Tombs at 1:50AM. Yes, it will be more epic than "Red Wedding." Go get some honey and lemon. It's time to up your karaoke game.
Looking forward to watching Otto hopefully become the 2nd Hoya this year to be chosen to play at the professional level in basketball (congrats on making it to the WNBA Sugar!).
With Love and Ever So Casually,
The Project #CongratsOtto Team
P.S. Submit your #CongratsOtto pic / video + follow @selfie and you'll be eligible to win a pair of tickets to Otto's first game!

"#22"
[Verse 1]
It feels like a perfect night, to go juice some Oranges
And make a big corner three, and-one, and-one
It feels like a perfect night for Midnight Madness
To fall in love with old school game, OTTO, OTTO
[Bridge]
Yeaaaah
He’s lanky, quick, hits J’s, steals passes at the same time
His mustache is so magical, ohhh yeah
Big East Tourney, sink two from the free throw line, overtime, OTTO
[Hook]
I dunno about you, but I'm drafting 22
Everything will be alright with, this baller from Mizzou
Pair him with Kyrie or with J-Wall and Bradley B
Everything will be alright if, you just keep ballin’ with number 22… 22
[Verse 2]
Playing against the Scarlet Knights
Verizon is crowded
Haters be hatin’, OTTO, OTTO, (Who's Otto Porter anyway? No AAU?)
It seems like he is everywhere
Shot-block like Dikembe, reverse lay-in, dunking like Ewing
[Bridge]
Yeaaaah
He’s humble, smart, fills-up the stat sheet in a beastly way
His mustache is so magical, ohhhh yeah
Tonight’s the night, when another Hoya goes to the NBA, OTTO!
[Hook]
I dunno about you, but I'm drafting 22
Everything will be alright with, this baller from Mizzou
In the steps of Jeff Green, Monroe and Big Roy too
Everything will be alright if, you draft them from Big Man U… Big Man U
I’m drafting, 22, 22…
[Verse 3]
It feels like it's overtime
UConn game-winner
It feels like it's OTTO time
JT3 offense scheming
It feels like one of those nights
Mr. Otto-mattic. I’m drafting 22, I’m drafting 22
[Hook]
I dunno about you, but I'm drafting 22
Everything will be alright with, this baller from Mizzou
In the steps of AI, Othella, and Alonzo too
Everything will be alright if, you draft them from Georgetown U, Georgetown U
Big Man U, yeah, Big Man U, yeah yeah
[Verse 4]
It feels like it is draft night
What will the Wizards do?
It feels like it is draft night
We won't be sleeping
It feels like it is draft night
Mr. Otto-mattic, I’m drafting 22, I’m drafting 22
Hoya Saxa.
binge.
