Ex-Jack Jr. Seen Drunk and Alone at Bar on Homecoming Weekend

By

Jack Jr., Georgetown’s shortlived Bulldog mascot once affectionately known as JJ, was spotted several times over Homecoming weekend in the dark corner of Rhino.

The dog, fired in July 2013 for biting a child, was reportedly slumped in the furthest chair and drank whiskey on the rocks for the majority of the weekend.

“Yeah, he was here Friday and Saturday night, starting around 4:30pm both days,” said Rhino bartender Kurt Lewis, shaking his head. “Whiskey straight through. I probably should have cut him off earlier, but it’s not like the guy was gonna be driving.”


Witnesses said that JJ could be heard muttering under his breath to no one in particular, often sloshing his drink and slamming down his glass.


“I heard him mumble about how nobody knows the truth, and nobody gave him a chance,” said Ben Whisk (MSB ’16), who noticed JJ while he was out on Friday night. “He kept on repeating stuff like, ‘One day I’ll show them what they lost.’”


Whisk also noted that, near the end of the night, he heard JJ belting out ‘Wild Horses’ – “and not well.”


“JJ was working himself up, like ‘I could have been someone at this goddamn school… but no. The kid just had to talk,’” said Melissa Phan (COL ’16), also at Rhino on Friday. “It was creepy.”


Becca Maroney (MSB ’17) reported that JJ aggressively flirted with her on Saturday when she was trying to order a drink at the bar. She noticed that his eyes were glazed over and that he was slurring his words.
“He kept on saying that he was staying at a Motel 6 in Maryland, and suggested a few times that I go back with him,” said Maroney. “I refused, and he said ‘Oh, I forgot I’m a nobody. Don’t mind me, right? I’m just a wash-up, right? Bitch.’ He was a mess.”

 

JJ was also spotted calling Father Steck reportedly saying into the phone that he was “a changed bulldog” and pleading for a second chance.

 

Rhino management eventually had to remove JJ from the premises on Saturday after an incident around 1 am. When a group of students broke out into the Georgetown Fight song in the spirit of Homecoming, JJ downed his drink in a single gulp and threw the glass against the wall.


“When it shattered, the bar went silent and JJ yelled, ‘Hoya fucking Saxa, you worthless pieces of shit!’” explained Lewis, who immediately picked up JJ and escorted him towards the door. “He didn’t like being removed. He kept on saying, ‘Do you know who I am?!’”


JJ was not at Rhino for the remainder of the weekend, though witnesses reported seeing him on the sidewalk outside Pizza Movers at 3 am Sunday morning, simultaneously urinating and eating a jumbo slice.
