Not as mad

It is a sad day for Georgetown and for Georgetown basketball fans when almost every college basketball team in the country holds Midnight Madness except us. That day came last Friday night/early Saturday morning for the Hoyas, as most other NCAA Division I teams kicked off their seasons in celebration, bringing fans, ex-players and coaches together to show off their talents and get geared up for an exciting year of college hoops.

Check it, boys and girls:

Some people out there (read: Georgetown’s “newspaper” of record) were hating on the playoffs because, well, they’re supposedly boring without any “stars.” We’re here to prove to you that these playoffs, sans Yankees they may be, are actually pretty damn instense.

The Georgetown Hoyas men’s soccer team was shutout yesterday by the No. 6 Maryland Terrapins 2-0 on North Kehoe Field, in a game marked by the Terrapins’ command of the ball. The loss brings Georgetown’s record to 4-8 overall and 2-3 in the Big East.

The ball was bigger in this case

Another basketball season is rapidly approaching. I’m not talking about the basketball played by our beloved Hoyas over at the MCI Center. No, this game is played in the humid squalor of Yates with no spectators other than those who happen to be working out on the exercise machines above the courts.

Behind college dorm room doors and across the suburban wasteland of America, physically inadequate, nearsighted sports-geeks gulp Surge late into the night, filling their heads with arcane statistics, squinting their washed-out faces in the pale blue glow of computer monitors tuned to ESPN.

It’s the time of the year at Georgetown when everyone starts to become irritable. Midterms are in full effect, it’s starting to get cold, and you’ve had enough of your roommates’ dirty dishes in the sink. How do we at the sermon handle our angst? We sublimate our anger onto a famous athlete.

Quinn keeps on scoring

First-year field hockey forward Jessica Quinn looks like a woman on a mission when she takes to the field. She stares down the opposition and seems to run right through other players to reach the ball. So it comes as no surprise that she leads the Georgetown field hockey team in points and goals for the season.

Fie! We cannot contain our odium for the team that hails from the hamlet previously named New Amsterdam. We decry all those sportsmen donning pinstriped suits and jaunty blue caps whose arrival means the raiding of our small burh. Harvest after harvest, the blasphemous prudhommes George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and Joe Torre impose unfair tallage all o’er the land, pillaging our finest base-ball men for their squadron and leaving us with only a few beggared peasants with which to fill our rosters.

It’s that time of the year again everybody. No, not football season?playoff baseball time. If you can’t get into this year’s playoffs, then I’m sorry ‘cause you just ain’t a true baseball fan. This year, more than any other in past memory, there is no clear favorite to win the title and there looks to be a lot of potential for upset.
