Curling for Columbine

The most entertaining sight at the Senior Class Auction was not watching prim and proper moms and dads dance terribly to Outkast’s “Hey Ya.” Nor was it witnessing sloshed parents throw away thousands of dollars on an “open bar party” at Rhino’s, where if you know the right bartender every night is an open bar.

Hoyas hurdle and hit with mixed results

While men’s and women’s basketball have grabbed all the major headlines on campus thus far in the semester, other sports have started heating up on the Hilltop. While Indoor Track athletes have registered a number of strong times at this point in the season, the Hoya baseball team limped out of the starting gate with a pair of losses at William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va.

Panthers effectively defanged

After losing five of their last six games, the Women’s Basketball team got a much-needed victory Saturday, using balanced team scoring to down a struggling Pittsburgh squad, 72-61.

After struggling in recent games against ranked teams, the Hoyas hope to use this victory to propel themselves toward a post-season tournament bid.

Curling for Columbine: Dismay-Rod

OK, I admit it. At 2 p.m. on Saturday when ESPN announced that the Yankees were acquiring Alex Rodriguez , I completely freaked. “No!” I screamed. My housemates rushed in to ask what federal building had been blown up. Even worse- the Yankees are gonna’ get A-Rod.

Sports Sermon: Jerks on Ice

“You can’t just go out and buy a World Series ring. Well, maybe if Darryl Strawberry runs out of coke.”-Jimmy Kimmel

So, the serm’ has to admit having a deep affection for pucks. In fact, I’m a total puckhead. Some of my friends may also claim that I’m something that rhymes with puckhead, but that has nothing to do with hockey and everything to do with annoying bravado and compulsions.

Rock ’em like a Hurricane: Riley roughs up Miami

SPORTS BY CAMERON SMITH With a pivotal road stretch on the horizon, the Georgetown men’s basketball team knew they had to protect their home court well in a pair of key conference games. Their goal was met with mixed success, as they let a close game against Villanova slip away in the second half, falling 75-60, but rebounded with their second victory over Miami in a week at 80-64.

Women’s hoops tourney hopes tumble

by Timothy Follos

It was an agonizing week for fans of Georgetown’s Women’s Basketball team. Despite the record-shattering play of senior forward Rebekkah Brunson, the Hoyas lost two home games in strikingly similar fashion-falling to Virginia on Sunday 52-45 and to no.

Life of Riley: Senior hits stride

With the spring thaw approaching, so comes the cold reality that time is winding down for Georgetown’s men’s basketball season. This fact is not lost upon senior co-Captain Gerald Riley, who expected to have his breakout year after the departure of Mike Sweetney to the NBA.

Curling for Columbine: Hawks rule hilltops

In what has been a great year of college basketball, I’m very proud that my team is at the top. My hilltop Jesuit University is flat out balling this season, undefeated with a great chance of gaining a no. 1 seed going into the NCAA tourney in March. Led by a great coach and dominant backcourt, I really think this is our year.

Meringue or meringu?? Ask GU dance!

Slightly less heralded than the Georgetown basketball program is Georgetown’s very own ballroom dancing team. Consisting of about twenty members, the team meets regularly to perfect various dances.

The club, which has tabled relentlessly and flyered throughout the semester, has attracted a number of new members to both its novice and experienced programs.

OK, so first things first, and then the serm’ promises it won’t gloat anymore. The Patriots are the most exciting clutch team since the Bulls of the late ‘90s. We’re convinced Brady to Vinatieri is such a combo that at this point we’d take those guys against any other two athletes in any sport, Michael Jordan commercial style.

Curling for Columbine

In the past, when the Super Bowl half-time show was more talked about than the actual game, you could be sure of a blowout.

In 2001, the Baltimore Ravens’ defense pummeled the New York Giants en route to a 34-7 spanking. I don’t have a clue who performed at half-time that year, but a Martha Stewart show would have received more attention than the game itself.

Super Brawl? Pats and Cats lack claws

If this Super Bowl week proved anything, it’s that the Northeast won’t be hosting the big game until global warming takes it up a notch. The domes and US hotspots are in firm control of the game to the extent that I’m waiting for St. Thomas to be awarded the 2009 prize.
