WP Sports section hates G'town

Apparently the Washington Post has chosen to write a love letter to the Fighting Illini instead of taking a David vs. Goliath stance in support of the Hoyas:

www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A49409-2004Dec8.html

Would the Post print such an article if Maryland was playing Illinois tomorrow night? I think not. Do I sound bitter? Yes. Is it true?? Also yes!

That said, there is some funny stuff in the article:

"The biggest surprise has been Head, who nearly left the team last season after he was suspended six games for two separate incidents (an alleged burglary for which he was never charged and his arrest for driving on a suspended license). He leads the team in scoring with 15.9 points per game. Senior forward Roger Powell Jr., who became a licensed minister in the Pentecostal church during the offseason, is averaging 13 points and 5.4 rebounds."

Burglary, Suspended license, Pentecostal Minister -- come on. These jokes practically write themselves.

To be fair whenever Maryland faces ranked opponents the Post and the Times tend to do writeups of those programs. Heck, every once in awhile they will do the same for Gtown (they did a writeup of an unranked and sliding UCLA squad when they came to DC to play the Hoyas in the MCI). This year already the local newspapers have done stories on Memphis, Wisconsin and Michigan State because thet were going to play the Terps (of course Mich State got upset by GW and never faced the Terps). This is just the norm. No biggie.

Alright, here's the deal- whenever Luther goes to the free throw line, or a foul is called on him, we take our driver's licenses and wave them around and chant DMV! DMV!

Being Jewish, I'm also tempted to make a sign that says: "Hey Roger, Happy Hanukkah! -Georgetown Jews"


Let me know what you guys think!
