Founded in 1997, Hoya Blue is Georgetown's official student spirit organization. We support all Georgetown sports, men's and women's. We prowl the Verizon Center at men's basketball games, organizing our student section and making our opponents fear us. We organize massive road trips to away games, anywhere from Connecticut, to Virginia, to Ohio and anywhere in between. We grill burgers and hot dogs before football games, and bang on pots and spoons during the game. We throw pre-game barbeques for soccer and lacrosse, and raise hell in the stands. We sell shirts and tickets and give away free stuff in Red Square and in front of Leo's. We make banners and post flyers for games and throw victory parties afterward. Most of all, we LOVE Georgetown athletics and have a great time doing what we do.
This is the gray shirt that we wear to all Georgetown men's basketball games. It says "We Are Georgetown" on the front (coach John Thompson III's favorite cheer), and on the back there is a giant III, in honor of Coach Thompson. On the back is also a slogan that changes every year. Last year's slogan, "Our Heroes Change, The Legend Lives On". Everybody in the student section wears this shirt to create a sea of gray behind both baskets at the Verizon Center. Moreover, on game days, it is a tradition to wear this shirt all day long in a sign of solidarity with fellow student fans, and also to promote the game to classmates. The shirt comes free with basketball season tickets and is sold at the Verizon Center on game day at our table outside Section 120. Shirts can also be purchased directly from Hoya Blue by emailing hoyablue@georgetown.edu; or through the Athletic Department at the online store at this link: http://store.cstv.com/marketplace/store_contents.cfm?product_id=141106&cart_id=043955367718572111121973104420082912&store_id=356&dept_id=7431
This is the shirt worn at all games except men's basketball. We wear these in the stands to create unity among the students and intimidate the opponent. These shirts are $10 for students, $15 for alumni and non-students. They can be bought during our tabling shifts in front of Red Square and Leo's, as well as at most Hoya Blue events. They also guarantee free food at Hoya Blue pre-game barbeques. If you're in need of an "I Bleed Hoya Blue" t-shirt, shoot us an e-mail at hoyablue@georgetown.edu, and we can set you up.
At Hoya Blue, we love you just the way you are. However, we wouldn't be opposed if you'd like to paint your face blue and gray or wear a blue wig to the game. In fact, we strongly encourage it. If you want face paint, find us in the front row at MCI and we'll gladly fix you up. Wigs are available to buy at the Yates Pro Shop.
The Georgetown Fight Song is steeped in tradition, and is a staple at Hoya sporting events. The band routinely plays it several times a game for basketball and football. Every Georgetown student should know the fight song and be ready to bust into it at any time.
For your convenience, we have provided a link to the Fight Song's lyrics and a rousing rendition by the Georgetown Chimes below. Hoya Saxa!
There are plenty of despicable programs out there, but there are none that bring out our hatred more than this digrace of an institution located in upstate New York. Here's a little history lesson that details some classic Georgetown-Syracuse matchups from over the years:
