Georgetown Basketball Vault

Authored by our own DFW:

Georgetown® University Basketball Vault: The History of the Hoyas

Basketball’s roots run deep at Georgetown University in the nation’s capital, dating back to the early 20th century, and no other book captures that history quite like the Georgetown® University Basketball Vault™: The History of the Hoyas®. As much a scrapbook as it is a history book, opening the Vault is like getting a guided tour through your own personal Georgetown basketball museum. Author John Reagan is a Georgetown graduate, and for 14 years has been a writer/editor for HoyaSaxa.com, a popular Web site that covers GU sports. In this book, Reagan writes the tale of the Hoyas from 1906 through the 2010 season, mixing great game coverage with behind-the-scenes anecdotes and personal stories to present a view of GU basketball that you won’t find anywhere else.

Even before buying the gift set...

BTW, John, great work! May it be best-seller...

[hoyasexy]

Looks fantastic. Is it going to be available in the GU bookstore? I owe myself a visit to campus.

[tashoya]

Sweet! Congrats on what I'm sure was a ton of work though a labor of love. May they fly off of the shelves quicker than they can stock 'em.

[Elvado]

Awesome. DFW has come a long way from the floor of Univ. of Seattle's gym. Can't wait to read it.

[Nevada Hoya]

Looks great John!

[SirSaxa]

That is an incredible accomplishment!

I didn't know you were working on it, but based on the history section of HoyaSaxa.com, I can't imagine anyone better qualified for the job. And I will look forward to reading it.

On behalf of all Hoya fans... THANK YOU!

Congratulations DFW.

What I found shocking is that the last third of the book is actually just a print out of all the Quarantined Topics threads.

[DanMcQ]

Equally shocking is the fact that noone not named John was involved in the production of the book.

[WilsonBlvdHoya]

Dan,

For the record, this John had minimal editing input nearly two decades ago when this was a gleam in DFW's eye. As usual, all the output, credit and glory goes to DFW!!!

[CAHoya07]

The man never sleeps. Looking forward to checking it out!

[Coast2CoastHoya]

DFW, simply amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[SirSaxa]

There are some HUGE Hoya fans on this board as we all know. Huge, and Long Term!

But if I had to put someone at the very top of the list?
Well, just take a look at this board... it's very existence! Then add in the book?!?!?! As Lic might write: WOWOWOW ;D ;D

In fact, I think the race would come down to two candidates. DFW and Lic.

Thanks to both of you, to Dan and WilsonBlvd, and to all the other super fans who make this board the great resource it has become!

That raises the question - does lic yell everything he says? And if so, has his wife lost her hearing??!! (we kid because we love, my friend).

[SirSaxa]

Dan... I think we should PIN this one to the top of the Board through Christmas -- at least.
