Hoyas down 31-10 late in the 4th. Looks like that will be the final score.
Two reasonable chances left (not Richmond) at avoiding a winless season. At Marist, vs. Richmond, vs. Fordham - we need a W in at least one of them, otherwise, it's a goose egg season.
Also, cannot help it, but some more depressing figures: we are now 3-25 in our past three seasons. I don't think there has ever been a more futile period in Georgetown football history.

Well, we didn't have any wins from '52 to '64. We didn't play any games either.

Wow!!! I consider myself as someone who really knows football. I really thought we would win and had no idea it wouldn't even be a game. I refuse to believe we could be this bad this long and nothing happen but this program has made a believer out of me. Wow.

This outcome is a great example of what happens to a program when a university supports it; and what happens when they don't.
I wish ODU great luck and I hope their team has a lot of success and their fans enjoy Saturdays of watching them for years to come.
As for us, this result makes me, frankly, ashamed to be associated with GU and the GU football program. I, for one, hope our administration will take a moment and decide to either commit to our program or will put it out of its misery. This in between approach is humiliating and is of no benefit to anyone.

Just someone who cant imagine you could say that you are "ashamed to be associated with GU and the GU football program" . You are an alum and your ashamed of GU? Glad you did not attend some community college. I guess you never landed a fulfilling job with your GU education?

Alumni who fail to criticize their alma mater when it's deserved make me ashamed to be associated with GU.

Alumni who fail to criticize their alma mater when it's deserved make me ashamed to be associated with GU. By all means criticize the sports team and lack of support from the administration for the FB team. Go for it. But to be "ashamed" of the University for a sport - any sport - seems a bit over the top to me. Disapointed with the way they approach FB - sure. Disappointed with the University - huh? Maybe just semantics but IMHO there is a line alumns and sports fans should keep here.

When ODU alums feel obligated to be patronizing to G'town and tell us they hope that some day we can get our act together, that makes me feel ashamed of my associations with the program and the university. When something you care about, have given up a lot of money for, given up other things up for, have bled for (figuratively, but literally too, I suppose) is disrespected by the people who can fix it...that makes me feel ashamed to be associated with them. At base, the university dictates the future of this program and they've let it languish in a pathetic state for years. That makes me feel ashamed. As I've said a zillion times before, I'd rather see them kill it then have it go on like this. So, you can launch your ad hominem attacks on me, but if your frustration at this situation doesn't extend beyond coach Kelly, then you haven't been around long enough to see how my alma mater operates.

I am sorry you took that as an attack on you. Not my intent and if it comes across that way I apologize. As Bill Clinton said "I feel your pain" ;D and am not in any way trying to say you are not justified in feeling like the FB program has been given the shaft by GU. There is no way anyone can realistically argue much else. My only point was the semantics of being "ashamed" of the university globally and being "disapointed" or even "ashamed" of a specific issue - that being the FB program. I think you can be very proud of GU as a university of higher learning and POd beyond belief about how they run the FB program.

No offense taken (and sorry if it came off that way - I quoted you, but my irritation was in response to hoyabound who made some stupid knock about community colleges; it was not aimed at you who made an appropriate/astute comment). I am, overall, proud of my GU associations. I am ashamed of how the university treats the football program. It's a complex world and I think it's possible to feel proud and ashamed of things at the same time. Not to stretch the analogy, but to make my point: I bet that all of us feel very proud to be Americans for many reasons, yet ashamed for a few (the government's stance on issue X, or the way our country responded to event Y in the past).

One pick was made by CA, expecting an ODU win.
