Curse Madden

It’s hard to believe that stupid superstitions ever come true. And then they do. I’m at work when I get the call. It’s my little cousin and rival fantasy football team owner Gregory.

“Two words man,” he says. “Madden. Curse.”

Pirates steal win from Hoyas

In what is becoming a theme for the season, the Georgetown men’s soccer team (3-7-0, 2-4-0 BE) dropped their third game in a row, 2-1 in another overtime heartbreaker after failing to put away a number of chances against the visiting No. 21 Seton Hall Pirates (7-3-0, 5-1-0 BE).

Women shutout for fourth straight game

Soccer, like many other sports, can be a game of streaks. You win some, you lose some and sometimes these wins and losses come in bunches. The Lady Hoyas soccer team is currently riding a losing streak of four games after a 1-0 loss at Seton Hall this past Sunday.

Comeback, almost

Last Saturday when Georgetown’s football team squared off against Columbia for their second straight Ivy League bout, they were greeted with a decidedly snobby 20-0 run that proved to be too much for the fighting Hoyas to overcome.

The Sports Sermon

This week’s Monday Night Football game featured the Atlanta Falcons playing at the New Orleans Saints. For the first time since the 2004/05 NFL season, “playing at the New Orleans Saints” really meant playing at the New Orleans Saints.

Have a heart

It’s hard to feel compassion for those we hate. We cannot possibly conceive of a way to feel the faintest touch of guilt for despising a seemingly selfish and egotistical human being. But sometimes our preconceived notions of a person and our perceptions of their character are purely superficial and keep us from really understanding the person “underneath the pads.”

Hoyas draw first blood, Bears claw back for win

When the Georgetown football team found the end zone to open Saturday’s game, it was the first time since the end of the 2004 season that the Hoyas scored a touchdown in the opening quarter of a game.

GU heartbreaker

Sometimes in sports, things don’t go the way they should. The Georgetown women’s soccer team (3-3-3, 0-1 BE) lost their final non-conference game of the season last Sunday against the James Madison Dukes (4-4-0) in a 1-0 game they should have won.

Hoyas get first BE win, then fall to Rutgers

Soccer matches are not usually decided in the final minutes of play, but the Georgetown men’s soccer team (3-5-0, 2-2-0 BE) played two such contests over the weekend as they split a pair of Big East road games.

Hoyas get first win of season

If you don’t score, you can’t win. Last Saturday afternoon in the heart of the Hilltop, Georgetown’s young defense took this simple rule to heart.

Men’s soccer caught in a storm

Sometimes no matter how well you play, you just can’t seem to come out on top. And so it goes for the Georgetown men’s soccer team (2-4-0, 1-1-0 BE), who dropped a 5-2 decision to visiting St. John’s (4-2-0, 1-1-0 BE) on Sunday, two days after downing rival Syracuse (3-2-0, 0-2-0 BE) 1-0 in double overtime.
