If you’re rich, you’re HOT

Rich and friendless drivers who enviously watch vehicles in the carpool lane blaze by during their rush hour crawl on I-495 will soon get their turn to hop into the fast lane.

Sports Sermon

Throughout this storybook basketball season, Georgetown has shown again and again the importance of team effort. The patient Princeton offense outlasted the lightning-fast transition game of UNC. As the Hoyas prepare to take on Ohio State in Saturday’s semi-final, however, they will face a new challenge in a team whose parts are very similar to their own.

Baseball takes step back

After Georgetown Baseball was swept in a disappointing Big East opening series versus Rutgers, the team rebounded Tuesday, edging rival George Washington 5-4 at home. The win avenged a 17-9 blowout loss earlier in the season and had all the signs of being a major boost for the team, but Georgetown faced a setback the next day, falling to the University of Maryland-Baltimore County 9-2.

Power trio

I remember about two and a half years ago standing on Harbin Field for our Class of 2008 picture during Freshman Orientation and seeing Jon Wallace, Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green standing there. They were the freshman basketball stars, one from Alabama and two local talents. I had never heard of any of them.

Campin out to get to HotLanta

Phillip McClymont was as giddy as a plastic surgeon at the Playboy mansion as he sat in full collegiate glory Monday night outside McDonough Gymnasium, surveying the crowd of fellow Hoyas who came to secure tickets to the culmination of March’s madness: the Final Four in Atlanta. Reclining in a camping chair as buddies popped open brews and enjoyed the gustatory delights of finely-aged Philly Pizza, the junior’s glow outshone even Patrick Ewing’s dog-tag bling.

Carrying on: Radiohead through the rolling fog

After finishing my last paper of freshman year, I decided to go for a walk at night to celebrate my new freedom. It was a simple walk through Georgetown, a route I often took to go see movies on K Street, but that night the pedestrian became glorious, the uncomfortable became terrifying and the everyday neighborhood looked like something out of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I was listening to Radiohead in the fog.

Teetering on the edge of victory

I try to be modest, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: I’m the reason that the Hoyas are winning.
