I'm looking forward to the day I'm inducted into the GU Hall of Fame. Showcase became a look-team god each fall during practices on Kehoe!
Actually, I was surprised Ewing wasn't already in the GU Hall of Fame.

I was kind of surprised this was the 4th story down the page on GUHoyas.com but you know how those things work at McD!!! I think they're displayed in order of posting, so the other stories may be more recent. |

it's about time. i'm also surprised he wasn't already in. any idea if ewing will be honored at halftime of a hoya home game? he damn well better. i know we don't retire jersey numbers (i'd like to know why not, by the way), but something HAS to be done.

Two thoughts:
- I think there is a time requirement for induction into the Hall. I'm not sure that there are any Hoya alumni from classes earlier than the mid-80s currently in the Hall of Fame.
- I like the idea of honoring Patrick during a game, but I'm not sure how well his day job would allow him time to get to D.C. during a G'town game. I guess we'll have a better idea once the schedule comes out.

When asked why there were no retired numbers, Coach Thompspn always relpied, "We retire memories, not numbers."

The current time requirement, I am told, is not until twenty years after graduation for men, not until ten years for women.
Thompson players in the Hall: Derrick Jackson and John Duren. I have no recollection of Sleepy Floyd being admitted, though he has been eligible for a couple of years . . . Wonder why?

Im pretty sure I saw Sleepy Floyd's name on the men's basketball plaque in the Hall of Fame room in Leavey last year. Maybe I'm mistaken though.
