Phans in Philly are chilly

City of Brotherly Love, my ass! This past weekend, the NBA All-Star game had the misfortune of being hosted in Philadelphia, a city that finds itself 200 years past its prime. Its only current claim to fame is that it sits astride I-95 on the way between New York and Washington.

Winning ugly

In an 11th hour effort to sink The Yard referendum, members of the Georgetown University Student Association convened late Sunday night to draft and send out e-mails to students condemning the attempts to create a new undergraduate governing body. The various e-mails, which went out to almost every student University-wide, all used varying language but contained the same message: Don’t vote for the Yard.

The Sports Sermon

A small girl stands in her backyard with a bottle filled with soapy bubble fluid in her hand. She pulls the small plastic wand from the bottle, breathes in and blows out slowly, forcing the bubble fluid out of the wand and allowing a perfectly spherical bubble to escape.

Expos-

Last week, Bud Selig finally shelved all the contraction nonsense for the time being. Good news, Expos fan. Oh, how wonderful it will be to spend the upcoming season watching those magical marvels of baseball majesty … the Montreal Expos?

No, the Expos probably won’t excite many this season, but I’m glad that the contraction plan didn’t go through.

Battle of the Sexes

There are two genders in our world: the male and the female. By and large, the male enjoys viewing sports more than the female, for the simple reason that if he can’t talk about sports effectively at a young age, he will be cast aside by the masses. A case in point of this situation: In the summer before sixth grade, when I was a hugely fat, zit-infested kid who wore striped clothing way too much and talked with a lisp, I went to a summer program geared towards really smart kids.

Vote Bridges/Ayer on Feb.11

Students need effective leaders for the Georgetown University Student Association—ones who don’t just promise change, but who can advocate and deliver tangible results. Our most effective advocates next year would be Kaydee Bridges (SFS ‘03) and Mason Ayer (SFS ‘03).

Memento writer visits campus

Were the secrets of Memento unlocked when Georgetown alumnus Jonah Nolan (CAS ‘98) spoke to students this Tuesday evening? The answer is no … or is it yes? Or rather, maybe there just aren’t any solid answers when one tackles such difficult subjects as forgiveness, revenge, the mercurial nature of memory and the possibility of a world in which the passage of time is removed.

Wonderboy

So the Super Bowl’s over, what now? These are the two or three weeks of the year when I start getting work done, my roommates make video games a full-time occupation and my sports-addicted grandfather refuses to leave his house, mired in a crippling mix of withdrawal, depression and impatience.
