Don’t draft me

Make no bones about it: I’m a ridiculous sports nerd. On a rough estimate, I’d say about 90 percent of my waking hours are spent watching sports, playing sports, playing sports in video game form, writing about sports, talking about sports or reading about sports.

Women’s lax still undefeated; Baseball struggles

Women’s Lacrosse (8-0, 3-0 Big East)

The No. 1 Hoyas’ women’s lacrosse team continued to dominate this week, adding two victories to their perfect record. Last night at Ludwig Field in College Park, Md., Georgetown got its first-ever win over Maryland in 12 meetings between the two teams.

Church of baseball

“I believe in the Church of Baseball. I’ve tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones. And the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.”- Annie Savoy, Bull Durham.

To many people, Holy Week is the most important week of the year.

The Sports Sermon

We at the Sermon are huge fans of sports malcontents because they provide hilarious fodder for us on a weekly basis. It gets even better when sports fans contribute equally to the stupidity that we enjoy lampooning. For us, it doesn’t get much better than this past week.

I’m majoring in baggy shorts

First, let’s offer our kudos to the Maryland Terrapins on their first national championship.

Congratulations, you earned it. Hope you enjoyed your riots. They looked fun.

Now that that’s out of the way, it’s time for Georgetown University to start planning for some riots of our own, or rather, our second NCAA men’s basketball championship.

Dusseau leads Men’s Lacrosse to victory

Senior attack Steve Dusseau led the Georgetown lacrosse team to victory in a 13-7 win over Bucknel, and had a career-high nine goals in yesterday’s game. The Hoyas extended their opening winning streak to seven games, the longest in Georgetown history.

Last year Georgetown played Bucknell in Lewisberg, Pa.

Well it’s no ‘Sweetney’ 16 …

The Sweet 16 will commence tonight with four games and although I am immensly unqualified to predict anything …

I figure we should start out West, because that’s the only regional that definitely won’t be won by a No. 1 seed. Perennial chokers Cincinnati lost to the UCLA “We’re really much better than a No.

The Sports Sermon

Since the Hoyas are out, we here at the Sermon are left to cheer for the next best thing in the Big East … the University of Connecticut Huskies! After defeating Hampton in the first round of the NCAA tournament at the MCI Center (a game for which many people picked Hampton to win after their stunning upset over Iowa State in the first round last year), a confident Husky team, led by sophomore forward Caron Butler, moved on to face the Wolfpack of North Carolina State.

Balti-less

Make no mistake, the Baltimore Orioles are the most miserable franchise in Major League Baseball. Arguments could be made for perennial losers like the Royals or Expos, or for recent expansion mishaps like the Devil Rays, but no team with half the market, budget or fan base that the Washington/Baltimore area affords could come close to Orioles in terms of utter worthlessness.

U.S. News ranks Hoyas top-20 sports program

Last Monday, U.S. News and World Report came out with an exclusive on America’s best collegiate sports programs. Surprisingly, the Georgetown Hoyas, despite their lack of national recognition in sports other than men’s basketball and men’s and women’s lacrosse, made the top 20.

Happy belated St. Patrick’s Day to one and all! If over the weekend you had moments where you thought you were partying like Darryl Strawberry on a warm Tampa night, then you might not remember the most fitting and insightful game of the NCAA tournament to date.

Women’s lacrosse No. 1 in nation for the first time

The Georgetown women’s lacrosse team was ranked first in the nation by the Brine/Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Poll for the first time in the history of the program yesterday.

“Its just exciting,” said senior All-American attack Erin Elbe. “But our coaches and our team never take the rankings into consideration.

We will win your Tournament Pool

It takes two and a half madness-filled weeks for 65 NCAA Tournament pretenders to evolve into one champion. Most likely, you’re going to be betting on who that one will be. To assist all the NCAA-poolers who think Dick Vitale is the spawn of Satan and haven’t been following as much college basketball as they should, we at the Voice have decided to provide our readers with a peek at our award-winning bracket.

Don’t push it, Esherick

I’ve covered Georgetown Men’s Basketball for The Voice for the entire 2001-02 season. I begin in this way not to insinuate that I speak from a position of greater knowledge, but simply to show everyone that I was at every MCI Center game, every Big East Tournament game and watched almost every away game in its entirety.

Hey Hoya fans, forgive us if we’re the only ones this side of the equator who aren’t excited for March Madness, but we’re not. March Madness would be exciting if our team were in it at all, but it isn’t so don’t blame us if we’re a bit annoyed that we have to sit through a month of annoying Dicky V.

Great Hair

A survey of any sports section or sports publication in the month of March reveals an obvious trend in sports stories: predictions. This year, however, as sports writers everywhere try to forecast the Final Four, foresee the NBA and NHL champions, forebode the NFL draft sleepers and steals, and foretell the conclusion to the upcoming baseball season, I have come to a realization.

Hoyas miss postseason for the first time since 1975

“I didn’t want to make the decision, but I had to. I feel that it was the correct one,” said Georgetown Head Coach Craig Esherick regarding his choice not to play in the National Invitiation Tournament. “After 30 games, I clearly came to the conclusion that it would benefit us more to stay in class than to play any more games even though we’re a young team,” he said.

Hoyas gain momentum on the way to New York

Immediately before the CBS telecast of last Sunday’s Georgetown vs. Syracuse game, the network was airing a pivotal Big 10 clash between Michigan State?a team on the NCAA Tournament bubble?and Indiana, a virtual lock to make the field of 65 this year.

Near the end of this game, MSU held a three-point advantage, and with five seconds left, Indiana called a timeout, to which the CBS announcer commented, “This is plenty of time to get off a good shot.

Women’s basketball limps to the finish

The Georgetown Hoyas’ women’s basketball team has struggled throughout this season, while being decimated by injuries including a leg stress fracture to preseason First-Team All Big East sophomore forward Rebekkah Brunson. As a result, the Hoyas have not lived up to expectations, finishing with a 12-15 overall record and a 4-12 mark in the Big East Conference, after finishing 17-15 overall and 6-10 in the Big East last year.
