Digger Phelps just said that he thought Georgetown has what it takes to win a National Championship... I will come back and post the video later as soon as it's available.

Posts moved: did anyone just see Digger go off on a rant about how Georgetown can win the national title? wow!!!
he went on to praise wright, freeman and monroe as the ideal point guard, wing , and center package. wow, wow, wow!!! Discussion was about a team that can give Kentucky trouble and how there may not be a clear-cut favorite:
Digger- "I don't think the No.1 seed is going to win the National Championship. There's nobody like UNC last year with that experience. A team that's getting hot. WHat i look for is a strong point guard, a strong wing player and points in the paint. The team that's really shaping up right now Is Georgetown. Chris Wright had 27 points against Pitt. Austin Freeman had 28 of his 33 in the second half against Pitt. And Greg Monro, even though the lost to Villanova, he had a big double-double with 29 and 16 and has 7 double-doubles on the year. I really think that a team that can get hot and come together like Georgetown can win a national title, so it's still up for grabs" Watching College Game Day
Digger Phelps just said that we were a team that could get Hot and win a national championship, because we havve strong poin guard play, a gret wing player and strong post play.
Getting on that Band Wagon Early! |

Did GP send Digger some of the Kool-Aid?
I like our team as much as anyone, but I think we're still high risk in a tournament. Still, I hope he's right.

I didn't see this bolt from the heavens, but in the Grain of Salt Dept, one of the other Gameday stalwarts, a certain coach Robert Knight, generally thinks Digger is an idiot.

I will begin to get national championship excited once we come out of the Carrier Dome with a win and after a win over Duke. As a matter of fact, I will make us the limited favorite if we come through in the next week.

two things I love... (just watching the pre-game of Duke at Clemson)
1) ESPN game day at an ACC "showdown" talking non-stop about the Big East and how much better the conference is compared to any other.. (the GDcrew says there are 2 final four contenders, while Digger saying 3 with adding us...and
2) Digger literally fighting with Jay and Hubert about how legit Gtown is and again reaffirming that we are starting to mature and that we will be a very serious threat come march
Gtown
6 RPI (with number 1 Syracuse on Monday, and number 4 Duke this week)
4 SOS
4-2 against top 25 RPI
that is all...

Digger does not love us. He is just trying to set us up for a Notre Dame upset since the Irish will need a miracle win against a high RPI team to get to the NCAA. The stronger we look, the greater their needed win will be. Only problem is, they are still likely to get blitzed by the Hoyas, especially the way we played today.

I did not see or hear Digger's comment, I was out refereeing a college game. I did tape the game and after commentators Mike Gleason and Mike Kelly had their discussion about Greg returning for another year and watching the way the team played, honestly I called my girlfriend, who is quickly becoming a HOYA fan, into the room and told her IF Greg comes back I feel they have the POTENTIAL to win a Nat'l Title. They are at least elite 8 material this year. Next year could be something special!

The way he has been playing, do we have to worry about CW turning pro after this year?

As much as I want to believe this is a possibility, I need to see more from Hollis and Sims before I think this is realistic. Then again, it is as wide open as it has been in a while this year, so maybe a boy can dream.
