GW v. GU Snowdown Media Wrapup

So, clearly GWU was declared victorious in yesterday’s snowbath of epic proportions. Here’s a roundup of different videos, photos, and love matches culled from the inter-tubes for your viewing pleasure, and to give you one handy link to send to your friends who are stuck in sunnier climes.

  • The Hatchet has a slideshow of GWU’s victory [Hatchet]
  • While the Georgetown Voice blog, Vox Populi has some embedded videos of their demise. Also, someone on their site makes an excellent Star Wars references that actually made me lol. Props. [Vox Populi]
  • GW man-of-note Chris Brooks uploaded a GW-perspective video. [YouTube]
  • The hordes of GW advance [YouTube] & A Scene from the Battlefield [YouTube]
  • And over at (ugh) CNN iReport, someone named GWUAlum has uploaded another video. [iReport]

My favorite outcome of this whole (grossly lopsided) snowball fight, however, even more than University President Steve Knapp’s appearance, is this missed connection on Craigslist. This poor girl has already been branded a traitor on the twitter-sphere, but I think it’s kind of sweet. I’m rooting for you, GW girl, and your Montague-Capulet romance.

GWU v Georgetown, Snowpocalypse Style

Though our illustrious university neighbors still refuse to face us in basketball, some members of the Georgetown population have agreed to a snowball fight to celebrate tomorrow’s class cancellations.

GWU man-of-note Kyle Boyer threw down the challenge on Twitter, and all the media outlets for both universities have been alerted (at least on Twitter). To maintain neutral territory, the venue of Rose Park (around P & 26th) at 2 pm tomorrow. Edit: Due to actual apocalypse type conditions, the snowball fight has been moved to 6pm.

The more people that head out to play the better this will be, so wear your colors proudly and brave the cold to keep up your respective school’s reputation.
