Okay Hoya fans, lets be fair.
Today, the two QB saw their first game action ever on the college level. Lawrence had a few snaps last season, but has had no real experience. Play calling had to be conservative, who knew what these newcomers could do under true game conditions. What did we learn, Brady can throw it, Lawrence can run the option, and if he works on his footwork, the two or three open passes he missed will result in completions
The defense is bigger, stronger and faster, and played the entire 60 minutes despite the size differential.
Next week will be a better test.
P.S.: If you recall, Howard was to open against Rutgers. They should be thankful that that contest was canceled.

Over 400 Hoya alumni, football parents, and friends attended the Blue & Gray spring scrimmage and cookout on Saturday.
The Hoyas split up into offensive and defensive squads. It was an evenly matched scrimmage, with the defense winning the day.
Following the scrimmage, Coach Kelly announced junior offensive lineman Dan Matheny and senior defensive end Nicholas Umar as team captains for next season. Umar will be wearing the #35 jersey, in honor and memory of former Hoya football player Joe Eacobacci who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The Robert Paul Dahut Memorial Award for most improved offensive and defensive players were awarded to senior tight end Collin Meador and junior defensive end Jared Myers.
Following the scrimmage, there was a cookout for all in attendance sponsored by the Gridiron Club and the GU Football Parents Association. The Georgetown University Grilling Socieity manned the grills.
Although opening day is still five months away, the Gridiron Club, under the leadership of its new President, Jim Lenihan, and the GU Football Parents Association have been making plans for next season. There will be tailgates and events at all home games for all alumni and football parents and their guests, and tailgates at all road contests.
Fundraising is a high priority. The GU Athletic Department has significantly increased funding for football, however supplemental funding from alumni, football parents and friends of the football program is not yet where it needs to be.
To make a contribution to the Gridiron Club, contact Doug Yapp at Hoya Unlimited, 202-687-6285, or email at dey4@georgetown.edu.
Looking forward to an exciting 2008 season.

It would be interesting to get a breakdown of these numbers, so that we are comparing apples to apples, and not apples to oranges.
For instance, Stony Brook is moving toward a full scholarship program, I believe they had 43 scholarships this years. Are those numbers included?
Some schools have generous loan buy out programs funded by endowments. Are those numbers included?
I suspect that the expenditures you have listed are general operating salaries, i.e., coaches salaries, travel costs, equipment, uniforms, etc., and do not include costs relating supporting student athlete scholarships, loan buyouts, etc. GU's numbers in this area are not competitive with other institutions.
Please advise, if you know.

bubbrubbhoya,
Calling someone derogatory names is borish and childlike. I doubt that you would have said that face to face.
With respect to your response, a rant, at best.

Dear Bubbrubbhoya,
Shame, Shame, Shame.
There are some of us that are really making a effort to make this program work.
Under the rules, as I understand them, you should be thrown off this board.
