Georgetown Hoyas
Georgetown's nickname is The Hoyas, but its mascot is "Jack the Bulldog." Various breeds of dogs have been used by the sports teams as mascots since the early 1900s. Several notable bull terriers like Sergeant Stubby and "Hoya" were used at football games in the 1920s, as was a Great Dane in the 1940s. However, in 1951, the school suspended its football program because of the increasing cost of the game financially and academically, which left the school without an official live mascot.
2013–14 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team
Riyan Williams, the son of Reggie Williams, joined the team as a walk-on this season and made the roster in January 2014. He became only the third son of a former player to play for Georgetown, and the first to do so since Patrick Ewing, Jr., the son of Patrick Ewing, played for the Hoyas in the 2006–2007 and 2007–2008 seasons. Before Ewing, the only son of a former player to have played on the team was Ed Hargaden, Jr. – the son of Ed Hargaden, Georgetown's first All-American and star of the 1932-33, 1933-34, and 1934-35 teams – who played for Georgetown during the 1957-58, 1958-59, and 1959-60 seasons.
