Andy Katz on BB&T/GU Schedule

[RockawayHoya]

dan: Who is the best team in DC? It has to be GW after they stuck it to UMD for the second straight year, and Georgetown continues to run away from playing either UMD or GW

SportsNation Andy Katz: I wouldn't say that anymore. Georgetown went out and played Vanderbilt, Oregon and Illinois all in a row and gets Duke at home. The Hoyas aren't running away from anyone. OK, so they're not playing Maryland and GW but they don't have to with that schedule. It's hard to say who is the best team at this juncture but I'll give the nod to GW over Gtown and Maryland.

Fair enough. Katz is generally pretty fair IMO. So is Bilas. These guys get bad raps a lot, but they're aight as far as I'm concerned.

Katz reminds me of Jason Stark. Not bad, but he basically just repeats what he's told. A little better than Stark, but they are basically beat writers to Bilas' analyst role.

[Gold Hoya]

That's Katz's background - he was the Fresno Bee's beat reporter for Fresno State hoops during the Kenny Brunner samurai sword debacle. He talked with The Hoya reporter who was writing the story. A year or two later he showed up on the four letter network.

I am actually quite fond of Katz. I like his weekly reports and daily words. He is a talente d writer who knows a lot about college bball. Another reason im a fan of his is because he doesnt really favor any team in particular.

I hate Jayson Stark. Somebody should tell him that when the Boston and New York-centric media folks of the world go Sox/Yanks crazy its predictable and annoying (enough, Gammons) but at least arguably acceptable since those teams have been good for several years now. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, wants to hear anything that resembles anything that might be about the Philadelphia Phillies.

And yet, he's never had a non-Phillies related inside scoop. "Curt Schilling told me recently..."

Ugh.

Go Hoyas.

I like Katz 'cause he works hard, is always writing, giving us info (whether or not its "exclusive" or "revealing" is another story).

I don't like Katz because his father was my contracts professor and didn't give me the "A" I damn well earned in that class.
