Sports Sermon

As college basketball moves into the pressure-packed months of the postseason, there is little margin for error. An unlucky bounce of the ball, an untimely foul or a questionable call could be all it takes to bring a devastating end to the season. But the 2007 season has introduced a very different sort of game-changing blunder that rests on the index finger of a seemingly irrelevant character: the clock operator.

The Big East Loves NY

ADDITIONAL FEATURE—“Hoya Saxa!” proved to truly be the yell of all yells as the Hoya faithful sang unchallenged under the direction of an uncharacteristically emotional John Thompson III.

Meet Joe Hoya

“What are you going to call the story? How about, ‘Who is Fritz Brogan?’ People on campus sometimes wonder who I am—I look like I’m 40.”

Francis ‘Fritz’ Brogan III (CAS ’07) does not look 40. He looks a youthful 30. Brogan is 22, but has an older face and thinning hair, but before you notice Fritz’s age, you register how big Fritz is—6 feet 6 inches, 275 pounds, a looming figure. And as you’re noticing how big he is, his hand—adorned with a half-dollar sized monogram ring—is engulfing yours in a strangely loose shake, gripping, grinning and greeting.
