Two unsung Hoyas to watch this season

Many Hoya athletes were racking up medals, honors and accolades this summer, and they were not all basketball players. Some of Georgetown’s unheralded stars have been busy making names for themselves in the sports world outside Healy Gates. Here are two to watch in the coming months:

Nick Cook (CAS ‘04), Men’s Golf?On Aug.

Summer slam

As I marked the days off of my calendar until NFL training camp began, I took note of some significant events in the sporting world this past summer.

The Kings-Lakers Western Conference Finals was an insta-classic. Shaq once again proved that he’s the most dominant player in the NBA, even though he fouls at least three people just walking through the locker room.

The Sports Sermon

For about a decade now, we have continued to hear about Major League Baseball’s labor woes. It seems Baseball Commissioner/Antichrist Bud Selig’s sagging mug has been on the television weekly complaining that teams are losing money, contraction must occur and that the Expos are better off in Reykjavik than Montreal.

Joe Hoya, Senior

Warning: What you are about to read might sound like the sentimental ramblings of a college senior trying to hold on to his glory days as they slowly come to an end. But it’s not.

College is an awesome time and it goes by too quickly and as a senior you will sit wondering how you got to your final year without realizing where it all went.

Former Hoyas chase NFL dreams

When one thinks about Georgetown and major professional sports, the first league that comes to mind is the NBA. In the last 20 years, Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo and Allen Iverson have graced the campus and then gone on to stardom in the pros.

New in town?

You could have gone to that hippie school in the middle of Iowa, where they promise you’ll have breakfast, lunch and dinner with your professors seven days a week. You know the real reason they promise that?there isn’t a damn thing to do within 80 miles. So rest assured, you made the right choice.

‘Danse’-ing queens

Surrounded by a motionless group of uber-indie rockers at a basement party in Pittsburgh, I realized it was sink or swim. My life jacket? The Faint’s Danse Macabre. Only minutes after slipping the shiny disc into a lifeless, tapped stereo that was previously playing some cochlea-combusting trance, new life was synthesized into my soon-to-be dance buddies.

Moby tries to recreate Play‘s success

18, the soon-to-be-released record from electronic pop all-star Moby, has all the symptoms of a crappy second record. It’s a boring, transparent stab at repeating the magic (and commercial success) of the multiplatinum-selling album that established him in the public’s eye.

Wilco returns at long last

It’s nice to think that behind every great album there’s a great story, maybe even a great drama. Wilco endured a bona fide epic in its attempts to release its new album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Here’s the short version: Wilco recorded the follow-up to 1999’s remarkable Summerteeth and presented it to Reprise Records, who freaked over the record’s “uncommercial” sound and refused to release the album without extensive remixing.

Student films showcased at festival

There was no popcorn saturated in delectable globs of canola oil. There were no Sour Patch Kids to throw half-chewed at the screen in the event of boredom. And no one’s feet adhered mercilessly to a layer of slime on the floor. Instead, hosts and ushers in formal dress greeted the audience members upon arrival at the ICC Auditorium last night, for this was no ordinary evening at the movies.

Scorcese’s The Last Waltz a forgettable relic

In 1976, The Band played its last show together at the Winterland theater in San Francisco after 16 years on the road. Filmmaker Martin Scorcese showed up to film the star-studded farewell show and somehow managed to create what many regard to be the finest rock concert film ever.

It’s hotter than hell in Yates

You step inside and hand your card over to the Yates Memorial Field House staff member. Then it hits you. The sweltering air overwhelms you. It’s damp. It’s humid. It’s as hot as hell. Maybe even hotter. It continues as you take your first step down the stairs, and sweat already starts beading on your forehead before you’ve even lifted a weight.

Le Pen is not an option

Jean-Marie Le Pen, leader of the xenophobic Front National party, has placed second in the the first round of the French presidential election. This was a stunning blow to Socialists and a triumphal moment for the right-wing extremist who campaigned on an anti-immigration and anti-European Union platform.

Credit trouble

It’s a spring weekend in the District. The peak of the cherry blossoms has passed; the days are getting warmer and longer; the tourists are making their presence known. And now that mid-April has arrived again, it’s the perfect time to protest.
