After early struggles, Hoyas dominate Big East

Last Saturday afternoon, the Georgetown women’s lacrosse team found themselves in an all-too-familiar position—behind. The team, something of a national powerhouse in recent years, started the game down 4-0 to Rutgers.

The Sports Sermon

As NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue paused before announcing Philadelphia’s second overall pick in the 1999 NFL draft, Eagles fans in attendance waited in anxious anticipation, hoping their team selected the highly touted Heisman Trophy-winner Ricky Williams, a running back from the University of Texas. Instead, the Eagles’ front office opted for Donovan McNabb. As the quarterback from Syracuse walked across the stage to be congratulated by the commissioner, he did not receive a warm reception from the Philly faithful, as their boos filled Radio City Music Hall.
