Funny sign

“It’s a funny sign, isn’t it?” said the GUTV kid with the shoulder-mounted video camera. He barreled down the hill from Leavey towards Lot T, calling attention to the large, electronic flip-sign at the entrance. It is 2:15 a.m. Tuesday and what normally should say “Road Closed” now reads “No War.

Kiss those group projects goodbye

MOB. MOC. MIS. No, they’re not airport codes or even covert military operations. They are the links that comprise a backbone of BS, a.k.a. the MSB.

Ride the no wave

Perhaps only a few of us remember the decadence of new wave in the ‘80s via the memorable Flock of Seagulls hairdos of our older siblings, and their moodiness that precipitated endless spins of Depeche Mode’s Violator. Maybe we relive the magic through Behind the Music’s profile of 1982.

Voice Leisure retro reads

Looking for something awesome and totally rocking to chase away those winter “blahs” and other emotions best expressed by non-words? Try a good book. Or, better yet, try the good book.

Hoyas fall in OT, NCAAs in serious doubt

“The season’s not over,” said Georgetown Head Coach Craig Esherick after the Hoyas’ (10-6 overall, 2-4 Big East) 93-82 overtime loss to Seton Hall (8-9 overall, 3-4 Big East) last night at the MCI Center.

Unfortunately, with torturous, heartbreaking losses as the norm rather than the exception, it is becoming much harder to believe him.

Esherick’s Island

Now sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a Georgetown team … They’re struggling through their ups and downs to try to reach a dream. Our season started out OK as Georgetown won eight straight, Although the teams the Hoyas played were really not that great.
