This is an angry fan writing, angry at seeing my Hoyas flame out again in the NCAA tournament to a team with lesser talent. And the worst thing about it is, we looked totally lifeless doing it. Austin Freeman allowed himself to be man-handled by the VCU defense. No one on the team, aside from [...]

Bait and Switch

I like the fact that 106.7 the Fan has been focusing so much on the Caps of late. Obviously today Georgetown and George Mason play some very big college basketball games, but the Caps is truly what we have in this town to talk about until the Nats start playing baseball, and after that, the [...]
An Apex on display

A lot of people who follow sports talk about a team “peaking” at the right time”. Who knows when that right time is? The Caps peaked last year in January when they won 14 in a row. This year they are peaking at the end of the regular season. Well, not the END end of [...]

I know that Chris Wright is an important member of the Hoyas. I lamented his loss on this very blog when it happened a little over two weeks ago. I knew he was the player that made Georgetown go on so many different levels. But what I did not know was that the rest of [...]
A Sinking Ship

Throughout much of this week, JTIII has said that his team has got to get used to playing without Chris Wright. This meant that everyone from the biggest of our big men to the quickest of our guards had to raise their level of play to help their teammates get good look at the baskets [...]
What color is the light at the end of the tunnel?

Today Georgetown lost to Syracuse just the way anyone who had watched Chris Wright play for us for four years would fear: our offense looked disjointed and out of sync and Syracuse won primarily because they caused so many turnovers which led to many easy baskets. I listened to this game on the radio so [...]
Broken fingers..shattered dreams

There are so many strands running through the old duder’s head that I had to wait 24 hours to write something. 1st of all, I guess Georgetown is truly the 2nd basketball team around here. While I have been mourning what appears to be a season lost due to Chris Wright’s broken finger in his [...]
A necessary step

Georgetown won a game it had to win tonight. It wasn’t exciting and it wasn’t particularly pretty, but Georgetown continues to win. And Chris Wright continues to be the man on this team of late. Tonight he scored from all parts of the court, three-pointers, drives to the rim, big free-throws at the end of [...]
Seminal performance

I write this blog during the 1st intermission of the Caps & Sharks game with the game knotted up at 1-1. The Caps gave up a SH goal for the 2nd night in a row, but unlike last night, we were able to respond right away thanks to a wicked slap shot from Ovie. As [...]
The Good, the Bad & the ugly in the D.C. sports weekend
Posted in Capitals, Hoyas, Wizards on February 14, 2011 | 1 Comment »
I’m gonna start from the positive from the weekend. Yesterday, the Hoyas did not play their best game, but they found a way to get it done against a feisty, if not overly talented, Marquette team that from the outset could smell an upset. The Hoyas though stuck to their game plan, tightened up [...]
