Marathoners are a different type of athlete, driven to take on a 26.2 mile run just for that inexplicable runner’s high.

Ah, the life of a kicker. The difference between the oh-so-awkward perpetual silent treatment and being carried off the field atop a pack of crazed victory-drunk muscle machines can be as simple as laces in or laces out.

The Sports Sermon

“Execution” generally conjures up images of bloody necks outside the Tower of London. For Georgetown football, the word means winning a game—at least according to Coach Kevin Kelly, who attributed the team’s victory against the Bucknell Bison last Saturday to the fact that the team “executed better,” (in an entirely, non-homicidal kind of way).

Sit down, Pitt:

After a tough 5-3 loss Friday against West Virginia University, the Hoyas Women’s soccer team (11-5-0, 4-4-0 BE) weren’t about to relax with a 3-0 lead against Pittsburgh (6-9-1, 1-7-1 BE) Sunday afternoon on North Kehoe Field. The Hoyas held on to win the game 4-2.

Switch Hitting: a weekly take on sports

There is no such thing as a moral victory in sports. Clear-cut wins and losses are the primary indicators for success and anyone who tells you otherwise is flapping their gums, hoping to mask larger problems of inefficiency and incompetence.

There’s been little to cheer about this season for Georgetown football, but last Saturday’s new aerial attack might be something to get excited about in the coming weeks.

Split decision

After a string of one-goal losses, the Georgetown men’s soccer team had a schizophrenic week. The Hoyas got back on track this past Saturday, defeating Providence (5-4-1, 2-2-1 BE) for their second conference win, but fell to D.C. rival George Washington on Tuesday, dropping to 3-8 (2-4 BE).

Seafaring wisdom holds that a captain goes down with his ship. Monuments were erected for the brave fishermen of Gloucester who sank with their vessels, Captain Smith of the Red Star Line’s tragic demise was immortalized in the film “Titanic” (though he was summarily overshadowed by Rose and Jack’s vehicular hokey-pokey) and on Monday night, Joe Torre likely bid adieu to his tenure as Yankees manager as his team sank yet again into the vast expanse that is playoff-less October.

One fine day on the Potomac…
