Perhaps you can chat with Mr. Bum and let him know that he should fact check a little bit. He keeps dropping this tidbit that the Hoyas missed the Big East tournament in 2004, which isn't at all true (they barely made it and lost in the first round to BC).

That and you should tell him to stop being so gosh-darned ugly.

I don't think you want the relationship the bum has with Georgetown, do you really want to get into a terribly ugly fued with John Thompson II and then have to admit on Kornheiser's radio show that you shouldn't be allowed to cover a certain team with due to your history with them?
Look, you have a few loony Georgetown fans who think that you are biased. Every Georgetown fan who knows anything about the basketball team hates Fienstein with the passion of a thousand suns.

I have pictures from that 2004 Big East Tourney game. I can supply them to Feinstein, but that might cause a rift in the universe since the game "didn't happen."
Also, John Thompson III recruited Jon Wallace, not Esherick as Feinstein asserted yesterday in his first column on Georgetown this year (not like they deserved a column before that).

Maryland still making headlines on your blog this week...reader interest? Anyway, I didn't think the Feinstein story was so bad; it's not as if this were the first time, or second or third, that the Post didn't fact check a Hoyas story. And (this is where I really feel slighted), there's been no response about my request for a Dicky V. guest blog. EVERYONE would read it, and comment more than they did on your Hoya fan costume expose. And then people could start accusing the post of a pro-Duke bias too, rather than a pro/anti/feverishly obsessed Georgetown and/or Maryland bias.

simple equation

terps > hoyas

Assuming the above equasion is true, why did the Terps lose in the second round while the Hoyas are in the Final Four?

This just in: Maryland students still bad at math.

I don't get it...I went to UMD for four years and not ONCE did I hear a student badmouth or even mention a rivalry with Georgetown. Do we harass Duke? Sure. UVa? Absolutely. West Virginia? You bet. But we have nothing bad to say about Georgetown or its basketball team. Why the hate, Hoyas?

It's message board stuff Adam. If you go on the Maryland Rivals board there is a ton of hate for Georgetown. It's the same for Georgetown, I don't think anyone ever even mentioned Maryland when I was at Georgetown except to say that they had a pretty good team (late '90's). Not one word about the students or the school. A lot seems to be cropping up because of recruiting, a lot of Maryland fans accused Georgetown of cheating to Freeman primarily because of bitterness over not getting him.

As a Maryland fan, I'm more irked by losing Jeff Jones than I am about Austin Freeman. I'm just glad ALE is in the doghouse.

Interestingly, there are about 10x more complaints from the Hoyas on this more local forum. Is it that Terp fans feel the need to project nationally, while Georgetown is a bit more introverted? Something to consider.

who said my simple equation was totally related to basketball?

think big picture people and then look at it again ...

terps > hoyas

littles...perhaps you can enlighten us...our brains are a too muttled by March Madness to understand what must be so obvious.

Is this a reference to terp fans' superiority burning couches and turning over cars--or do we have to think even bigger picture?

As Cain so helpfully pointed out, Maryland students clearly don't do the whole "math" thing. The simple "equation" "terps > hoyas"...

why are you g'town boys paying so much for your education?????

they aren't even teaching simple equations over on the hilltop

I'm sorry you have been so confused, maybe one day you will be lucky enough to understand

The last word on the subject will be after winning the championship when Georgetown fans march to College Park and burn it down. It doesn't take a degree from MUD to see that burning down someone else's neighborhood makes more sense.

Maybe he's making a play on words . . . something like, turtles are greater than rocks?

riddle me this: why is that when UMD wins something and they take the street to celebrate, it's a riot ... but when georgetown rushes the street to celebrate their entrance into the final four, it's a cheerful jubilation?

Because Georgetown students didn't smash windows, burn things, and loot.

Actually, I think all of the arrests at the MD riots were of people who didn't go to school there. Just being fair.

except that my friend that goes there showed me pictures of broken windows and showed me videos of them screaming profanity. I also read on the dcist that georgetown students had some fun jumping on cars. and PP is correct in saying that the people arrested in the UMD riots for looting were not actually students....

uh oh .. spin it hoyas, SPIN IT!

and while you are it could you please explain how after a 22-year absence, you couldn't even sell out your student allotment of tickets for the final four ...

thanks in advance

The only spin I see is the suggestion that UMCP rioters aren't students. That's hilarious.

Don't worry your little head about GU student ticket sales. I'm sure the Hoyas will be well represented in Atlanta. Do you have some ideas about what should be done with extra ticekts? Maybe Austin Freeman would like one...no, he's already coming to the hilltop. How about Chris Wright...nope, he's coming too. Jason Clark? Not necessary. Let us know if you can think of any other blue chip local talent that might want to play for Georgetown.

I just want your students to buy their ticket allotment ... you're a basketball school, right?
