The storied WCAC rivalry finds its latest installment tonight. 1st Half Report is that Gonzaga went up BIG early, and Dematha tied it with a 3 at the end of the 2nd. 26-26 Halftime Score.
1---Braswell on the bench, but not in uniform
2---Freeman laced up an ankle brace during warmups, did not start, & has not played yet.
More later.

Side note---Hoya Blue should send some reps to a big-time Gonzaga home game. Their student section is creative, constantly in unison, loud, non-offensive, and entertaining.

man, the ankle has not been kind to Gtown lately -- Rivers, Freeman......hopefully these guys can heal soon.
Thanks for the updates & please keep them coming. I would assume JTIII is in the house for this one.

That's exactly what the Exec. board needs--a director of recruiting. This whole live-recapping thing is fun, I'm gonna steal JerseyHoya's BlackBerry next time we're at the Verizon Center for a game...I can bang out 2,000 words on a tiny keypad during the halftime Hippity Hop race no problem, right? |

My brother was at the game and said that Chris Braswell's mother declared him ineligible.
Thank goodness the Stags won and that's all I'll have to hear about the game from that once extremely vocal and now extremely quiet Purple Eagle fan, haha.

From the dcmetrohoops report:
Among the college coaching staffs in attendance were Georgetown (John Thompson III and Kevin Broadus), George Mason (Chris Caputo), Notre Dame, Loyola, Mt. St, Mary’s , and William & Mary.

Is your intent to disparage (top 40, according to the Top 100 project) former Hoyas Robert Churchwell and Mark Tillmon, other recent Hoyas LaMont Morgan and Mike Sabol, and probably dozens of others that preceded these fine players and gentlemen? Perhaps your intention is to disparage the countless Georgetown students who came from Gonzaga over the past 2 centuries, which is likely more than any other high school in the country (with the possible exception of Georgetown Prep). The list of such students likely includes between 5 and 10 of your own classmates. That list also includes hoyasexy, perhaps to no one's surprise. |

I just graduated fropm Gonzaga, proud to say we're not a**holes and if you think we are I'm guessing you're from a local high school not lucky enough to wear purple. Anyways. My point for the first post wasn't responding to someone trying to bad mouth my school. The reason our cheer section is so tight is we have a group of guys, the booster club, who are in charge of starting all cheers that kids have heard since freshman year and at pep rallies before every game.
Some cheers that are personal favorites,
"The ref/coach beats his husband"
"Not in our house" after any block which I was able to get going during the ODU games but is much harder to get going at Verizon
"His name is [hibbert], he is your papa"
less appropriate, but a standard is after free throws instead of going "woosh" its EDITED and a point to the opposing bench
after fouls "cheaters never prosper" or "please stop cheating clap-clap-clap"
then there are a lot of cheers that are made to gonzaga that probably wouldn't work for Hoyas. If you can I'd say try and go to a big game, especially if there are kids from other schools there, it usually gets interesting.
Also, it's not done all that often, but we would start counting down the shot clock a few seconds early which I think would be a good thing to do at Verizon.
