Ladies and gentlemen, I've been to Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and I can say without hyperbole that this is a million times worse than all of them put together.

My favorite quote for occasions such as this:
"Professor, without knowing precisely what the danger is, would you say it's time for our viewers to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside?"
"Yes. Yes I would, Kent."
Seems, in the era of FB and Twitter, I'm referring to this scene about once a week or so.

JT III has issued a statement/just read on ESPN Radio -- high road taken, but sounded a little TOO much so to me.

Dan beat me to Coach's statement.
Ugh. I am sick to my stomach and wishing I could get a hold of more people who are in the traveling party over there.

In a related note after reviewing the photos, I can't remember from last year, but has Nate ever previously gone with the "one sleeve on, one sleeve off" look before?
(Pssst -- Because someone should tell him that that's kinda' deleted).
;D

I'm sorry can we take a step back. The Chinese Govt was hosting Georgetown University team and fans. Our amateur athletes were playing their professional athletes. Now just for fun, imagine the situation in reverse. A group of amateur Chinese athletes playing professional American athletes (who represented the Armed Forces) while on a "Goodwill Tour." And then there was a full out brawl including American fans attacking Chinese athletes. The US & International Media would throw a fit. We would be forced to apologize and called everything under the sun for disgracing the US. I expect to see similar outrage the opposite direction. Agreed. And even the media would have been forced to portray Gtown as the victims if the Hoyas did not take the bait by being drawn into a fight (no matter their good intentions). But by involving themselves in what is widely being described as an oncourt brawl, Georgetown will get a lot of the blame and idiots on the internet will have a reason to tear into the program. The Hoyas needed their senior leaders to help calmer heads prevail, instead Henry and Jason seem to have been engaged in fistacuffs. |

Edited. Not the time for inside jokes, esp. with attention on this board from various external news sources.

Glide - I sit adjacent to the bench for several years so I'm not saying that blindly, JTIII is in my line of sight after every single play. Most would agree it takes a lot to get a rise out JTIII, I'm not trying to start anything about JT3 nor am I promoting thuggery. I just think a game like this builds character. I agree we are tough, but c'mon even JT2 himself has called our recent teams a bunch of choir boys.

To clarify--I'm really hoping and believing this is tongue-in-cheek, but it is sure to be taken out of context by outsiders, which has been the rationale for other edits in this thread. Please delete.
Thanks for the note.--Admin
