On Saturday night, while most Georgetown students were gearing up for yet another night of over-crowded, dimly-lit parties that could only end in beer stains and hangovers, they were missing a truly unique performance in the ICC Auditorium.

The Sports Sermon

Ah, Thanksgiving sports, perhaps the finest institution this country has to offer. Well, aside from John Leguizamo on Broadway and perhaps Celebrity Jeopardy. Thanksgiving weekend offers a multitude of opportunities: crashing on the couch watching college football, tossing the pigskin in the backyard while diving into leaf piles, bonding with your dad over a mutual hatred of Duke basketball, watching Tony Banks become a Hall of Famer .
