Hearing Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animal's frontman's solo stuff)
Scarlett Johansson at the Georgetown Game?
It was a banner weekend around these parts as I attended Gilbert's birthday party Friday night, my buddy Dane's surprise 30th Saturday and the G'town-Notre Dame game in between. It was an early affair, high noon at the Verizon Center, so I met up with Scott Olin Schmidt a.k.a. Boi From Troy at Clyde's beforehand for brunch drinks. Little did I know that we were amongst greatness.
Up from my beer appeared the glowing visage of a girl we thought to be Scarlett Jo. Our suspicions were seemingly confirmed when a guy came up to her asking for an autograph. Giddy as schoolgirls Scott and I rolled into the game only to witness the Hoyas wax the Irish. A glorious weekend, indeed, made all the better as we exited the stands and ran into the one who would be Scarlett once more on the concourse. Take a look ...
Knowing that Matt Ufford of With Leather fame has a serious crush on our mark, I notified him of the sighting with hope that he could rule on the matter. Post it up he did, mostly to say that it was not Johansson but rather some girl that he'd still gladly sleep with. It wasn't until a commenter came to the rescue that the mystery girl's identity was revealed:
As both a Georgetown alum and a girl, I can say that she is without a doubt Sara Albert of America's Next Top Model Cycle 6 and Gtown '05. She's like a 6'1" poor man's version of ScarJo. Hope that helps!
For shame, I thought I'd actually seen a Hollywood star roaming the DC sports scene and it turns out to be a reality TV vixen. Regardless, it was fun figuring it out and I thank Schmidt for the question and Ufford for the answer.

Benny, my wife and I watch Top Model as well and I'm surprised I didn't recognize her as the "poor man's Scar Jo." I'm also surprised that a Top Model contestant gets autograph requests at bars.

I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing but when I saw the picture I immediately thought it was that one girl from ANTM. I watch too much reality tv.
