'Our Cheerleaders Could Stop Traffic but Our Hoops Team Will Whoop Your ASS!' In my recollection our cheerleaders couldn't stop traffic if you gave them an orange vest and a stop sign. Perhaps things on the hilltop have improved? No, it hasn't improved. Although many of them could stop a car if it him them.

If we're going down that road, I nominate the Hunter S. Thompson quote. Sweet silver surfer pic. Cheers! I'm kind of liking the way "We Are Not Done" sounds .... for now.

Agreed, that's how english works. However generally the phrase stopping traffic is used to suggest a positive attribute (ie, they will cause people to stop and look at them due to their looks), which means you just misused it. Adding the word "but" does not change the meaning of the phrase "stop traffic".

TBird, leave the grammar policing to the pros, as we will not stand for having our fine profession besmirched by such amateur analysis. Ask hifi--losing a grammar-off is not something with which one bolsters his resume.

We've had the discussion on cheerleaders before. They're out there, 365/24/7, yadda yadda yadda. If we're going to mock cheerleaders, the 'Cuse always deserve it more.
And FS&HS was on an (unofficial) shirt last year. It feels wrong to use it. Plus, III has always been about "We Are Georgetown". Not just him and his dad. I oppose the slogan on this ground much more than on any religous concerns.

Seriously. Who is this Jeff person everyone keeps talking about? He doesn't seem to be on the 07-08 Hoyas roster...

Anyway, just wanted to ask you all to please leave the cheerleader mockery out of your conversations. I am currently on the squad and would like to just tell you that several of us do read the boards on a regular basis and do take offense to some of these comments. We do appreciate the compliments/suggestions however, and thank-you to theexorcist above for sticking up for us. We work hard and are true fans of our athletic programs. Anyway - I like Unfinished Business best =) although maybe that does seem like it's putting alot of pressure on the team.....

People have been good about getting this thread back on topic but I just wanted to reiterate this is not the place to debate "Father, Son, and Hoya Spirit." Exactly where is the place to debate "Father Son and Hoya Spirit", which is an ingenious turn of phrase if I've ever heard one. While I have realized that will never be on the official Georgetown shirt, I think the opposition to it here is rather foolish. As far as I know, Georgetown continues to be a Catholic, Jesuit University despite the blackmarket printing of FS&HS tees last year, so I question why some feel that message is so disruptive. I would prefer the debate to be on another thread so that this one can be used for constructive brainstorming. As GuHoya007 mentioned it will not be put on the shirt so the debate here is moot. Also, as someone who is friends with several cheerleaders I take offense to some of the commentary here. Dajuan I can't believe your commentary because you are ugly and fat in person. (Just wanted to demonstrate how it would feel to have your physical appearance debated on a public forum). Punk. Great now I got suckered into derailing my own thread...

I, Zach Morris, approve of all of the cheerleaders. And that's really all that matters.
