The Sports Sermon: Georgetown and Maryland not as close as one would think

The trip from 37th and O Streets to College Park, Maryland, takes around 30 minutes, depending on traffic. The University of Maryland is Georgetown's virtual neighbor and its best basketball competition in the area, but if you ask either team about a rivalry they would deny its existence.

In the Big East, Size Matters

The Big East has long been the preferred stomping ground of the nation's best big men.

Susan B. Anthony once said, “If all the rich and all of the church people should send their children to the public schools, they would feel bound to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they met the highest ideals.” Much like the famous suffragette, I used to be a public school diehard who believed that no thinking person could in good conscience attend or send his or her children to a private school, while pretending to care about the quality of public education.
