Men’s lax undefeated; track teams shine

Men’s Lacrosse (9-0 overall, 3-0 ECAC, No. 3 ranking in USILA/STX poll)

The perfect season is still attainable as the Hoyas improved on their undefeated record with a nail-biting 8-7 victory over Hobart College on Saturday. Very muddy conditions and a solid defensive effort from Hobart forced the Hoyas to rely on a more balanced scoring attack than usual.

The Sports Sermon

We at the Sermon have a new favorite basketball player. Say hello to five-year veteran and Virginia Union graduate, Ben Wallace. The soft-spoken Wallace, once considered salary cap fodder in the trade from Orlando to Detroit for achy-breaky Grant Hill, currently leads the NBA in rebounds and blocked shots and has been one of the primary reasons for the Pistons’ surprising run to the Central Division title this season.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
