Growing up you was Georgetown or you c00ning (in the DMV area at least :manny:) and Patrick doing his thang thang :salute: but the big East isn't really a thing anymore. So of course it still is to those who know but what about the youth? Do they view Georgetown as that or nah :lupe:

In pondering this question right now, I think that the regression of Georgetown's cache'
is directly related to the changing strategy of basketball.

I say that to say Georgetown was known for being a school with a dominant true center,
and those are rarer than they used to be.

I remember back on :hamster: there was one breh who admitted that growing up he thought Georgetown and Temple were HBCU's :mjlol:
Shiiiiiiiit... Damn near everybody on the West Coast thought Georgetown was an HBCU back in the dark ages:ohhh:

Its funny now but when a nicca was young, there was no internet, not knowing anybody from the east coast really, a black head coach:ohhh:a dude like Patrick Ewing, that dude Micheal Graham literally swingin' on niccas in game, those unis with the Nike dunks, that dirty drunk lookin' dog- who looked like he was about to light up a square and talk some shyt- they had as a mascot, etc.. Man if that wasn't a HBCU then what was:myman:

I can't honestly recall a white guy playing ball at Georgetown. Of course , it's one of the more prestigious schools around, but from a basketball standpoint it always seemed like Georgetown had some real thorough dudes! Can anyone imagine someone white playing in the kente cloth uniforms from the mid 90's?
