Another "should-win" for the boys. My wife and I will be headed across town for the game (due to our travel schedule, this will be the first time we get to see the team in person this season, albeit not at home). Anyone else going? Looks like Howard has turned it up a notch as well, and from DFW's pre-game report ( hoyasaxa.com/sports/fb-gameday1107.htm), it seems like this could be a relatively high-scoring (if sloppy) game. Here's to the Hoyas getting something going in the run game. |

I'll be there. Insofar as (in complete agreement with Dan Steinberg) I find the whole "Mayor's Cup" moniker to be boring and non-descriptive in the least - plus who in DC wants to be associated with Vince Gray these days? - I'm calling this game The Battle of the G2. Granted, the G2 is on a year-long hiatus from actually calling at the front gates, but it's close enough.
Howard needed a miraculous finish to beat both Morehouse (a lower division team) and Florida A&M (a team that has a 70-17 loss on its record this season), this one really should be the Hoyas' to lose. Which is a long way from saying they can't lose. But I'm optimistic.

This should be called the The Pillow Fight Bowl.
Can't wait until next year when there's a real non-conference schedule.

Howard has scholarships if im not mistaken. Of all our weak non con games, this is one we should keep. I like being the
best college team in dc, it is good local press, and should be a fun annual cookout/party if done right.

I like being the best college team in dc, it is good local press, and should be a fun annual cookout/party if done right. Except it's not done right. Neither team promotes it, esp. Howard; heck, even the mayor's office doesn't get involved anymore. Howard signed AT&T to sponsor its game with Div. II Morehouse and 18,409 showed up at RFK. There's no sponsorship for this game. This game sounds like there's about 3,000 at Howard. |

Were maxed out on ivies on the sked as far as i know, so who's left? I like this game better than wagner, davidson, sacred heart and marist. Im not in favor of being humiliated by colonial teams until we can handle howard with ease.

We punted from the Howard 27?! Please tell me that's a typo...
Hoyas advanced to the 27, than took a coverage sack on third down.--Admin

Punting inside opponent's 40 is unacceptable. Take the damn down.

Someone please put this game out of its misery. Problem of Dog's comment shows just how far this program has come in 2 years. We've gone from losing to Marist to go 0-11 to new fans like PoD who associate the term "misery" with a 21-3 win over a full scholarship opponent to move to a 5-2 record. Congrats, Hoyas. 5-2 looks pretty great to me and keep it up! |

Since the beginning of the 2010 season, Georgetown is now 9-9 (.500), which has to be an accomplishment all its own.
Still though, the offense remains sluuggish (9 punts, 97 yards passing, 2 missed FG's) and will need a major step up over the next four weeks to get that sixth win.
