We may continue to play GU forever once a year.

It's a straight-out, transparent money-grab for both schools leveraging the nostalgia and the residual dislike of the other school by the fan base (to the extent that Georgetown actually has a fan base.)

But I think that after the nostalgia wears off and the reality sets in that the fans will recognize that these games are inherently disappointing. They are, after all, about nothing. That is, other than an interesting OOC game for both schools.

It was the Big East title race that gave these games meaning. And the personalities and the history that gave them "heat".

There is no longer a mutual title chase. And the benign JT III is a shadow of the malevolent, Darth Vader-like JT Jr.

The last time I was in Philadelphia with a friend, I made it a point to stop at Pat's Steak House to savor a real Philly Cheesesteak. I'm sure I built the thing up to my pal as a once in a lifetime event for him.

The cheesesteak "wit"  wasn't nearly as good as I remembered. It was OK, but it wasn't as good as I remembered. That's what the SU vs. GU games will be. Potentially good, but not he same.
