Georgetown's big Top 10 showdown with Duke brought out the countries number one fan - President Barack Obama.
The president, attending the game as a fan, provided some hoops commentary early in the second half of Saturday’s matchup of two top 10 teams at the Verizon Center near the White House.
During his conversation with CBS Sports broadcast team of Verne Lundquist and Clark Kellogg, President Obama told the duo that he wanted to put in his bid to become a color analyst after he leaves office.
President Obama on his next career:
After retirement I am coming after your job Clark. I am just letting you know. You either have three more years or seven, I am not sure which. But you need to plan accordingly because I am going to do some play-by-play.
Obama told the CBS announcers that his job keeps him too busy to watch a full game on TV during the regular season. He said ESPN’s SportsCenter keeps him well updated. But when it comes to March Madness and the NCAA tournament, it’s a different story. The president says he’ll watch all the Final Four games.
The full house at the Verizon Center were excited about the big Georgetown victory over Duke 88-77 but with the secret service there - no rushing the court. Just jumping up and down and cheering was allowed.
The Hoya fans can rush the court later in the season if they beat their rival Syracuse. That providing President Obama decides to watch the game at home at the White House.
