Who, in attendance at a GU football or basketball game in those days, wasn't? |

One of the best ever to do it.
He was an astute, excellent writer.
Not too many around like him anymore.
Congrats on his retirement.

Tom Boswell, wow. I guess he started writing at the Post when I was a freshman. I remember always enjoying his writing during what I will describe as his novice years. I gather that he only got better. Truly an institution.

Kornheiser and Wilbon paid tribute to Boswell on ESPN PTI last night and quoted John Thompson appprovingly for this quote about Boz's work: "Tom Boswell writes for the heavens."

I gather that he only got better. Truly an institution. During my time at Georgetown it was Shirley Povich: Povich joined the Post as a reporter in 1923 during his second year as a Georgetown University law student, and in 1925 was named Editor of Sports. In 1933, he became a sports columnist, a responsibility that continued until his death, with only one interruption. |

And that was before "and don't call me Shirley" became a memorable movie line. |
