Sun sets early on football

To put it kindly, this has been a season of highs and lows for the Georgetown football team. Despite a remarkable 3-1 start to the year following their winless 2009 campaign, with Saturday’s 24-11 loss to Fordham—the team’s fifth straight defeat—the Hoyas (3-6, 2-2 Patriot League) have guaranteed that 2010 will be their 11th-straight losing season.

Backdoor Cuts: Hoya recruit bedevils Duke

There are few joys in life greater than besting Duke’s Blue Devils. So when the Hoyas landed a new recruit on Nov. 1—6-foot-8-inch center Tyler Adams—it felt like a preseason victory. Adams, in order to play for Georgetown, had decommitted from Duke. The Hoyas have quickly built a recruiting class that is nothing short of formidable.

Backdoor Cuts: Keeping the faith

When the playoffs began a few weeks ago, I thought the Yankees had no shot of winning the World Series. To my chagrin, and to the delight of the majority of people who root against the Evil Empire, I was right.

The Sports Sermon: The hits keep coming

The NFL has always been a sport full of bone-crushing hits. The physical nature of the football is a huge reason why so many fans are attracted to the sport—the entertainment value of players crushing each other in almost any way possible is too much to pass up for most American sports fans.

Hoyas on fire in Big East

Just a few short weeks ago, the Georgetown men’s soccer team was in the midst of a five game winless streak, and seemed to be on track for another disappointing finish to the season.

The Sports Sermon: The madness is here

Friday will signal the change of the season for the Georgetown sports fan. Let’s be real, for most students there are only two sports seasons on the Hilltop—basketball season and basketball offseason. Midnight Madness is the start of the better one.

What Rocks: Steve Neumann

While the Georgetown men’s soccer team has had many ups and downs so far this season, one player has been as steady as they come. Steve Neumann is far and away the team leader in points, with six goals and five assists.

Such appeal shall be made only to the umpire who made the protested decision.”

The Sports Sermon: The year of the pitcher continues

When Matt Garza threw the fifth no-hitter of the season on July 26 (which would’ve been the sixth had Jim Joyce not blown a call that cost Armando Galarraga his perfect game) it became apparent that the 2010 Major League Baseball season was the year of the pitcher.
