Just a quick story that I think expemplifies the new JTIII era.
I recently changed jobs within my organization and my co-workers wanted to get me something as a going away gift. They know I'm a GU alum and obsessed fan, so they wanted to get me something Hoya-related.
One of them called up JTIII's office and told them about my situation and asked if they could send something to give to me (a dedicated alum, etc.).
A few weeks later my co-worker received a package from the Basketball Office. It was the "We Are Georgetown" poster (with the 04-05 schedule on it) signed by every player on the team. I just received it yesterday and was pretty much floored.
I just wanted to share this story as an example of what one can get when one asks and as example of how the new basketball office is trying to reach out to alums and fans, etc. in a positive way.
Anybody else have stories like this one? Just curious.

I worked in an RHO an eon ago before the widespread availability of the Internet (mid 90's). At least we got free housing, though.
Imagine that job without the Internet! You should be thankful...All we had were things called newspapers, magazines, and books.

One issue that has not been brought up (I think) is the Feinstein factor. Doesn't he do Navy play by play? Or is that just football? Is this game a slap in his face (I hope it is)? "We won't play in your little tourney of locals but we'll play other locals. Oh, and by the way, this local is one with which you have a relationship." Kinda weird, no?

I'm sure our feelings would be hurt.

What sort of alternative universe are we in where we would question the dropping of San Jose St. for Oregon? What's so embarrassing about trying to play against superior competition? Isn't this what we've been clamoring for? I still feel that if these two games were indeed were swapped for each other, the upside of doing so vastly outweighs the downside. That's how decisions should be made and it seems that this is how this decision was made.

We've done worse and we'll do worse in the future. All in all, I think we'll come out of this snub of San Jose State University alright. Weighing the pro's and con's, this seems to be the right move if we can line up a better game.

What's the upside of honoring this obligation if we can replace it with a better opponent? Higher RPI, better national exposure, gaining experience against a really good team...oh wait, those are the upsides of not honoring this obligation (hopefully).
Granted, I live in DC and see the Hoyas in person all the time, but the only reason I would be upset would be if I lived somewhere close to San Jose and was planning on going to this game. Otherwise, no big deal.
Now, if we schedule some other lame team in SJSU's place, then I may change my mind.

All show. Can dribble a little and pass but I echo others here who said that he exudes a terrible attitude.

As far as the Caps/Wiz go, they rarely play home Sunday games if I'm not mistaken. If they do, the game would probably be an afternoon game - so this would mean a Sunday night Hoyas game, a rarity. How many Sunday night games have we played recently?
If the Hoyas game is at MCI, it will probably be an afternoon one, I would think. Wiz/Caps usually play at home on Saturday nights.

I hope we don't get stuck with three lower levels for our mirror teams. That would not be fun at all.

“It will be remembered as a tournament we should have won,” guard Vernon Hamilton said. “I didn’t see a team here that’s better than us.”<br> Wha? Huh?
