Georgetown - Final Four Festing

Georgetown University's N St. after the Hoyas beat UNC to go to the final four. (Sunday 3.25.07, 8 PM)

Georgetown, a school in the jesuit tradition - a tradition that introduced alcohol to the natives of the "New World" - celebrated the final four.

A student's first hand account of March Madness

When overtime hit people came out of the houses, ripped off their shirts, ran into the streets and started running and screaming. A riot formed on the library steps and took up a block of N Street between 36th and 37th. Someone started lighting fireworks in their front yard (no professionals.. kinda scary). Non-stop chanting of "hoya saxa." "Fuck Ohio State." "Roy roy roy roy.." "Jeff Green's Mom." (unclear about the last one..)

"Ammo, College athletics is no longer about student athletes it is about WINNING. If I wanted to boast about academic awards I would have gone to PRINCENTON (sic)."

At "Princenton" it might have been about both. Where are you Ben Heyworth? (Greenwich Country Day '91, Cum Laude '93 (a year early), Deerfield '94, Princeton LAX Champions '96, '97, '98, Columbia Med School '03, Father '05)
