Big pimpin’, spendin’ cheese

Coming from the West Coast, I have long hated the overblown Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. Each of the teams’ 19 regular-season match-ups are analyzed and hyped like each is game seven of the World Series. Meanwhile, the rest of the baseball world is held hostage to this spectacle and largely ignored. Call me crazy or call me jealous. I don’t care.

How sweet it is: another homecoming win for GU

For a group of seniors that seemed like they couldn’t catch a break all season, they sure picked a good time to reverse their fortune. For the second straight year, Georgetown’s football team rallied in the final minutes to secure a victory on Homecoming.

Hoyas get second BE win on Senior Day

It was a bittersweet victory for the Georgetown volleyball team (8-17) this Sunday at McDonough Gym. The Lady Hoyas captured their second Big East win, defeating DePaul 3-0 in their final home game of the season and the last of the seniors’ careers.

The Sports Sermon

On Saturday, the Georgetown football team proved that it can excite its fans. After losing two fumbles, it looked like it would be business as usual for a Georgetown opponent. However, the Blue and Gray pulled out another impressive homecoming victory. There was one thing, though, that did not excite me about the Hilltop footballers on their way to victory: their celebrations after good plays, which involved acting out a basketball jump shot.

100 years, 98 seasons

I’m not trying to be Dikembe Downer here. Really, I’m not. I’m just as excited as the next Hoya for this year’s basketball season. What I don’t get is why everyone is rushing into the whole 100 YEARS OF BASKETBALL AT GEORGETOWN hoopla.

2005-06: Hoyas back on basketball map

In the coming years, many a Hoya will look back on the 2005-2006 season as the year the Blue and Gray put themselves back on the national map. Last year’s squad built upon the respect garnered the previous year and instilled fear in their opponents just like the teams under John Thompson had done.

Georgetown looks to take next step under JTIII

The final weeks of fall mark the end of what has been a very tough season for Georgetown sports. The fall teams have not had the success that many had hoped for, and it is safe to say that the losing records have taken their toll not just on the athletes, but the fans as well.

Small roster hampers women in 2005-06 season

With six returning experienced players and a McDonald’s All-American joining the team, Georgetown women’s basketball looked forward to their 2005-2006 season. With several close games and many big losses, the Hoyas did not meet their expectations as they finished last spring disappointingly with an overall record of 10-17 and a Big East tally of 3-13.

Lone senior Kate Carlin hopes for her first winning season on the Hilltop

During Midnight Madness, Georgetown’s women’s basketball head coach, Terri Williams-Flournoy, chose one player in particular to address the mad crowd of fans packed into McDonough Gymnasium. This vocal player addressed the crowd adamantly, praising her team and imploring the fans to come out and support the women just as they do the men’s team. It’s no wonder Williams-Flournoy picked senior co-captain Kate Carlin for the job.

Lady Hoyas locked and loaded for season

The Big East coaches released their preseason poll a few weeks ago, ranking Georgetown 13th out of 16 teams. The ranking was a slight disappointment, but they are determined to prove their power and capabilities to the teams of the Big East.

Voice ladiezzz pick GU’s starting five of hotness

These five Hoya hoopsters are a triple threat. They’ve got mad ball-handling skills, they’re really tall and they’re ridiculously good-looking, even for Georgetown. The following is, in no particular order, the starting five of hotness for our 2006-07 basketball team.

Dante and Clay debate this season’s most likely top scorers for the Hoyas. Will it be Green and Hibbert? Or Dizdarevic and Izzo?

Voice Top 25 goes back to 1995

The last time the Georgetown Hoyas were a consensus top 10 ranked preseason team was in the fall of 1995 when they were ranked fifth and led by a skinny sophomore named Allen Iverson. Since then, a lot has changed. That skinny sophomore became one of the NBA’s greatest-ever scoring guards with a distaste for practice, and somehow Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson went from being elite actors to just plain acting insane.

So, as only The Voice can do, we’ll try and recall some of those pop-culture memories from 1995 that can make us appreciate just how long it has been since the basketball program has been this highly regarded in the preseason top 25. Here’s The Voice’s version of the poll.

Hoyas look to keep homecoming win streak alive

Homecoming is the time of year when alumni reconvene to catch up on old times and reminisce about the things that defined their time on the Hilltop. Georgetown’s football team hasn’t provided many of these joyous memories during the course of this season, but they’ll hope to change that as they face Marist this Saturday at 1 p.m. at The Yard.

The men’s team trailed only six points behind Providence’s 52 while the women’s team scored 68 points, second also to Providence’s 39.

Field hockey ends Big East play winless

The Georgetown University field hockey team dropped a 4-2 decision to Holy Cross (13-5) last Sunday to finish the season with a record of 5-12 overall and 0-6 in the Big East Conference. Although this record does not scream success, the team put together a solid overall performance in what was their first season in Big East Conference play.

The Sports Sermon

What is it like to have the dreams of an entire city riding on your shoulders? Every sports fan in your city depends on you to bring them the glory that they have been starved of for years. The pressure and strain must be unbelievable. Then again, if you happen to have the broad shoulders of LeBron James, this task may not be out of the question.

Welcome to Artest’s world

I have to admit, it was a real toss-up this week, deciding between a column on the exposure of a Columbian soccer team as a front for a drug cartel and Kim Jong Il’s apparent love of basketball. But then I remembered that Ron Artest’s hip-hop album was released this week. Oh, happy day.
