The Sports Sermon

Ever wonder what it would be like to be the best at what you do? It has to be a great feeling, a feeling Tiger Woods is extremely familiar with. Woods is not only the best golfer, but the best athlete ever.

Women’s soccer ranked 5th in BE

If last Saturday’s exhibition game against William and Mary is any indication of things to come, the Georgetown women’s soccer team can look forward to a strong season. Despite a scoreless tie, junior goalkeeper Jade Higgins believes the shutout is a good sign.

Coach Wiese ready to kick it around with men’s soccer

Motivated? Check. Loves the university? Check. Winning pedigree? Check. When you’re Georgetown Director of Athletics Bernard Muir, you can’t help but think you have tabbed the perfect man to fill the shoes of the Hoyas’ winningest men’s soccer coach in school history. For the first time in 22 years, a new field general will be roaming the sideline, as Brian Wiese was named the 13th head coach in 52 seasons of men’s soccer on the Hilltop on March 1.

Yo’ momma (and yo’ daddy too)

After dropping my oldest brother off at college, my mother proceeded to cry the entire ride home, silently sniffling as she navigated her way through Ohio cornfields in her red Suburban. Ten years later, after emptying the same, slightly beleaguered car, I stood facing my parents on Healy Lawn.

After hours: some things should stay at the office

My office at the Democratic Party of Georgia is smaller than a Village A bedroom and I share it with three other researchers. I drew the short straw and was stuck with the desk that blocked the doorway into the room. Everyday coworkers have to decide whether to give me the crotch or the ass as they brush the back of my head on their way in and out of the room.

Carrying On: 23 is the loneliest number

For me, The Moment came in Leo’s. A few weeks after starting at Georgetown, a handful of hallmates and I were at lunch, still getting to know each other. The conversation turned to high schools. The stories of my suburban public school were uninteresting at best, but one guy, the product of an elite northern prep school, said something that stuck with me.

Chartered flight to nowhere

This month, D.C. School Superintendent Clifford B. Janey called on the City Council to place a moratorium on the creation of new charter schools. This proactive effort is a major change in the most extensive charter market in the country, and one that could save the faltering D.C. public school system.

Taking a nibble out of crime

The most recent Georgetown shooting was simply a high-profile example of what the latest statistics bear out: the “crime emergency” measures have been but a flashy Day-Glo band-aid pasted over a gushing wound that requires major surgery.

Third Annual Voice Photo Contest

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Georgetown isn’t known for its arts. After three years of Voice photo contests however, we remain consistently impressed with the capabilities of the campus’s amateur artists. After careful consideration of an overwhelming 140 entries, we narrowed the candidates down to eight, and are pleased to present some fantastic photos.
