GW vs Temple on Wed.: Take the Oath! (Plus TV, racing presidents, tailgate, free inauguration swag and beer!)

GW faces Temple on Wednesday at the Smith Center in a big A-10 matchup. Temple is 11-4 with a big win over #3 Syracuse and losses to #2 Duke and #6 Kansas.

It should be a good game and will be on Comcast SportsNet, and GW needs as many people to come out as possible! We have to pack the Smith Center and make it an awesome atmosphere for hoops.

To help out with that, the university is doing a lot of cool stuff. For one, they're asking you to Take the Oath to defend the Smith Center. There's a pre-game tailgate starting at 5 pm (with beer!)

They're also going to be giving away GW inauguration swag (see right) like hats, buttons and such, so make sure to get to the game early!

In addition, fellow presidents Teddy and Abe will be there from the Nationals' racing presidents! I also hear some blogger will be dressed up like George Washington and will be accompanied by George's trusty horse, Mr. Glue.

Check out the video! Good on the athletic department for doing a lot of awesome stuff this year.
