Condoms anonymous

Trekking to class a few weeks ago, my condom supply as depleted as my bank account, I was thrilled to spot the H*yas for Choice table in Red Square. I was psyching myself up for my free rubber restock, when I recognized the male figure standing squarely in front of the giant jar of condoms, chatting with the girl manning the table. Let’s just say that he was one of my more dubious decisions from freshman year.

He kept poking me, so I quit facebook forever

“I don’t have a Facebook.” I’ve had to say that every few days for the last few months. It’s been met with every response from “Are you crazy?” to “You’re... Read more

Kiss the rings

I’m Bill Belichick. I’ve been coaching in the NFL in some capacity for 31 years. As a head coach, I’ve led the New England Patriots to the Super Bowl four times, winning three. Two years ago I captained the most prolific scoring offense in the history of the NFL. Many revere me as the greatest strategist and in-game manager of my generation, if not the history of the sport. Questioning my decisions is akin to telling Machiavelli how best to perpetuate a monarchy.

What Rocks: Tory Rezin

The Georgetown volleyball team’s season came to an end on Sunday afternoon, and though the team finished with a disappointing 14-16 record, there was one bright spot for the Hoyas. Sophomore Tory Rezin set the Georgetown season dig record with 475 digs, breaking the 19-year-old mark of 472 digs, which are credited when a player stops a spike from hitting the ground.

One last chance for seniors

No one knows the sting of defeat more intimately than the seniors on the Georgetown football team. Over their four years on the Hilltop, they have seen five Hoya victories and suffered through 37 losses. To add insult to injury, this season has been the worst—the Hoyas have lost every game, and have amassed a 0-10 record.

The Sports Sermon: November Madness

I’m exhausted. On Tuesday, ESPN launched the 2009-2010 college basketball season with the appropriately-titled College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon. The World Wide Leader in Sports promised non-stop basketball from midnight to midnight, and I foolishly decided I would watch it all.

Clutch Monroe saves Hoyas against Temple

The Hoyas were able to eke out a victory Tuesday afternoon, but their performance showed that this team is not quite ready for primetime. Georgetown (2-0) defeated Temple 46-45, with tip-off at 4 p.m. as part of an ESPN promotion promising twenty-four straight hours of college basketball. The Hoyas trailed for the final four minutes of the game, before pulling ahead on a Greg Monroe drive with less than seven seconds remaining.
