I am just happy we are one of only EIGHT (!) undefeated D1 teams at this point in the season. Beat A&T and dammit BEAT 'Cuse.

Hey! We beat 'cuse this season, and that goes a long way here in upstate NY. It will shut those nitwits up for another 10 months!

As one of the old-timers that DSR zipped past on the list this year, my hearty congratulations and I hope you make 2000 ! I'm enjoying Hoya style this year - stay focused and lets win the BET! Charlie Adrion

Bernie White - RIP. Bernie was a teammate and a good one. Looking at his stat line online, you might get the impression that his hoops career was a disappointment, or unfulfilling. But I don't think he felt this about his time at Georgetown. He was one of a bunch of players under the Magee administration who's ball style was completely unappreciated. So, he was one of those players who worked hard in practice and stayed glued to the end of the bench. At least in our era, those were the guys who kept the team loose, sane, human. I don't know if it works this way today when everybody is an AAU all-star - we played in a different era.
When Bernie graduated in 1969, Georgetown briefly reverted back to an even earlier, sad, tradition. Our 1970 team was the last all-white [no pun intended] Hoya team. I don't know if Bernie felt isolated or troubled by the racial situation at Georgetown. I do know that he was never 'uptight'. He had strong opinions about self, the world, and education. He liked me as a person, which is unusual to say given our diverse backgrounds and status on the team. We both enjoyed reading on road trips, and he would kid me about why I didn't upgrade from Louis L'Amour to something worthwhile.
Bernie was the only teammate that tried to counsel me about alcohol abuse. He observed it was killing my education if not my game. He took the time to speak up. I found this endearing, even though it was another 15 years before I saw this truth. Bernie treasured his Georgetown education and appreciated what was being offered in the classrooms. I hope he had some fond memories of Georgetown.

Don't get me started on Mr. Magee. But I would add that he didn't have anything to do with Jim Higgins [who's bball career he nuked] coming. I was at the game when Hollywood Ron muffed the last play, it was one of the more humorous Hoya disasters. Luckily, it didn't affect our season much. The best thing about the Magee era was we were so bad in 1972 that the administration panic'd and brought in JT-II, a radical move at the time, bringing bigtime hoops to Georgetown.

What many might not know: Tim Higgins is the older brother of Hoya player and 1970 co-captain and Jimmy Higgins. I've never seen this mentioned on the boards. He has been an inspiration to bball fans of 'our age' running up and down the courts at age 66.

I was appalled by the SI article that compared this big rat to our Beloved HOYA Ex-President William Jefferson Clinton.

This is so sad - Mike was a ROCK of a player and teammate, but gentle and gentlemanly as they come off the court. He is the one player from our era that could have been an impact player in today's game.
