Along with everything else that has changed in the past year, it was very strange not to hear Fr. McFadden tonight. Wasn't sure what the issue was, but there is this from the Liz Clarke story in the Post:
"Note: Notably absent from Wednesday’s proceedings was William McFadden, the Georgetown theology professor who missed his first game as the team’s public address announcer since 1973 because of illness. Team officials said they are hopeful he’ll return this season."
Hope he gets well soon.

Prayers for a speedy recovery for ourversion of Bob Sheppard.
There is something very special and reassuring hearing his voice even if in the background on broadcasts.

Good to hear that he will be fine. I still remember fondly the homily/comedy routine/movie review that he and Father Davis delivered at the 11 am mass at Dahlgren throughout the 70's.

Lived on his hall my freshman year. Driest sense of humor on the planet. Get well soon. Watching a game won't be the same 'til he's back.

Do we know who did the PA in his stead? It was the same guy who does all the other PA work/timeout contests/etc. |

Any update on Father McFadden?
Home games just aren't the same anymore.
