The Look on Keith's after the Game of the Ages - PRICELESS
Well the partying is over. We went to a brewery across the street from our hotel. It was packed to the rafters with happy Hoya fans. After the game - some fans were holding up signs saying the Exorcism is over and the devil is gone. You could sense the relief on the happy faces - and Keith could have been the poster boy.
Keith wanted to go to Georgetown as long as I can remember - note the shirt picture above. When he finally got there after a year at FSU - John Thompson the Father - resigned as the coach which started a long period of dark ages. Now - John Thompson the Son has brought back the Hoya Spirit from the grave - and the DC Grind Faithful couldn't be happier. Everything seems possible now.
The party returned to our hotel room for a late pizza - and to watch all the other unbeatens fall. My Alma Mater put undefeated Pittsburgh on its back. I wish Nancy were here to enjoy this - but she is here in spirit. Here is a picture of Nancy and Keith walking on the Washington Mall about five years ago. Keith always wanted to be a Georgetown Hoya - after a strong year at FSU prepared him - he got his wish - he made it happen - and today - all of the Everharts are Hoyas.
