I have been on an email thread with about 16 of my 1985-89 classmates at Georgetown since email became a thing.
Three of that group are local and have basically had season tickets since we graduated although one went to law school out of the area beforehand. These season tickets are for their families so that accounts for 13 tickets I believe.
These guys made it through the latter JT2 and Esherick years and maintained the season tickets.
All three are most likely not going to renew after this season. These are good basketball/sports fans who donate and support the program.
I asked for reasons:
1) Can't stomach watching this brand of basketball
2) Rather be doing other things now than watching this brand of basketball
3) Need a coaching change that will never happen
4) Not a great college atmosphere at home games
5) Sick of failure
One of my especially angry Hoya buddies posted this word for word:
"We held a team without a made FG for the last 14+ minutes of the game and in that time managed to reduce the lead from 15 back to where the half started - at 8 (though, admittedly, we did get it down to 6 three different times with the ball - all with plenty of time left in the game - and got clean open looks each time and missed them all...DSR was atrocious....)
This team cannot stop fouling...the coaching is so, so f....ing bad
No NIT for the Hoyas
You may see a transfer exodus at year's end, which I expect to hasten the beginning of a 2+ year death spiral until the Wall Street boys threaten DeGioa again and we get a new coach.
The sad thing is that if you canned JTIII now and brought in a charismatic, talented coach who could keep this roster together, the team has enough raw talent to be a tournament team again next year...
If only we had an administration which did not have its head buried so far up its anus...."
I don't consider these three guys bandwagon at all. If you guys could see how much we ruminate on the Hoyas every season (and off-season), you might thing our passion was unhealthy.
