Georgetown Campus Beautification

Ed. Note: I am speechless.  Fantastic work.

Living in DC, I have to deal with Georgetown fans on nearly a daily basis, a fate that would make Guantanamo detainees say "Hey, maybe this waterboarding thing isn't so bad."  It was a relief on Thursday night to be surrounded by like-minded Orange fans for a change as Boeheim's boys defeated the Hoya hooligans.  It inspired me to take action.  It inspired me to stake a claim for the Orange Empire right in the middle of the Georgetown campus

Unfortunately, I underestimated the size of the wall just a bit.

It seriously doesn't look that big in Google street view. Fortunately the power of perspective saved the day, as modeled by my friend and fellow Orange enthusiast, Nick.

I don't know about you, but I think the sign would look a lot better if this were a permanent addition.  We didn't stop there, though.  We wandered around their sorry excuse of a campus looking for other areas to improve.  One thing we couldn't help but notice is that Georgetown loves bulletin boards.  They'll pin more stuff to that cork than you thought could be humanly possible.  It just makes every hallway look cluttered and unkempt.  We decided to clean things up by enforcing their own rules that were clearly stated but never followed:

You're welcome Georgetown.

Go Orange.

Great job as always Alex. I always find it amazing when Hoya fans rip SU fans for being classless but when they win, its perfectly ok for them to make our lives a living hell.

Just awesome.
Syracuse University graduates do make the world a better place. Even crappy places like Georgetown.

Thank You

For making my shitty work filled Saturday that much better after reading/looking at/watching all of this.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I am but a humble servant of the Orange Empire.

Go, fight, and win.

Must suck to live in DC being an Orange fan. Either way great job,

Man, I hate Syracuse

But I appreciate that this was done as it was.

West Virginians would have spraypainted the U or something. You got your picture but left the campus unblemished – that’s just good rivalry stuff.

Now, I hope you lose every game the rest of the season :)

I can have oodles of charm when I want to.
