Yet another major snowstorm approaches the Northeast this weekend, threatening numerous sporting events across the nation. Regardless of the weather though, the showdown between Georgetown and Villanova at the Verizon Center on Saturday is most likely going to happen. It is pretty much a foregone conclusion that Washington D.C. will get slammed by almost 2 feet of snow. Georgetown officials obviously know this, and they are still saying the game is on, so there’s no reason to believe they would posptone the contest at this point. If you still plan on attending the game, kudos to you, but be prepared to use a mode of transportation other than the Metrorail. Furthermore, while the entire East Coast will be experiencing a virtual white-out this weekend with the snow, Georgetown fans may try to gray-out the arena. Not really sure how well that is going to work, considering the Verizon Center will be well under full capacity. Anyways, please be careful if you are traveling this weekend.

I’ve got 9 tickets to this game and am damning this snow that’s coming. A) Why can’t it come when I’ll miss work 2) Why does it have to interfere with the enjoyment of another Georgetown beatdown and D) I’ve been hearing a lot about the lack of support from the Gtown students lately
