the offseason is never...

I really have tried to turn the part of my brain dedicated to Georgetown Basketball off, but the hits just keep coming.

So here is the latest:

We hardly knew ye...Vernon Macklin decided that challenges weren't for him. After progressing nicely as a backup, and seeing Roy Hibbert and Patrick Ewing, Jr graduate, it looked as though some major minutes were going to be opening up for The Big Ticket. Not so fast. Vernon is probably off to Florida or Clemson to continue his basketball journey. Too bad. I guess those three highly touted big men showing up on campus got to him. Later brah.

Hoyas in Disney! Memphis backed out of this year's Old Spice Classic in Orlando and the Hoyas took their place. They are guaranteed 3 games against really good competition. I would love to see Sapp and Rivers at the Epcot Center one day and then watch the beat up on Maryland the next. I really like how this year's Thanksgiving Day weekend is shaping up. See you in Orlando my man.

Once again it's on...The Georgetown - Duke series is back on starting this season in Durham. I really like the way this non-conference schedule is shaping up. Now all I have to do is find a way to save some serious coin so I can make some of these road trips.

Hoyas Rewind: As we head into the second round of the NBA Playoffs, I'd like to look back on one of the most incredible 4th quarter performances of all time by Georgetown's own Sleepy Floyd. For those of you that don't know, my man Sleepy went off for 29 in the 4th against Magic's Lakers in the '87 Playoffs. Sure they lost the series, but they didn't get swept!
