The Joy of Beating Syracuse This self-titled Stubstory defines what Big East basketball used to mean. Back in the days when these college freshmen were in diapers, and the real rivalries where formed. But hey, any day our un-ranked team beats what I think was a top ten “Orange” is a story work remembering. For [...]
It was the best of times, till Nova shot 90 percent (we all know why!) and the best team in the country couldn’t beat a game Nova squad for the 3rd time in a season…… Me, I was comfortably housed in a Winnebago in a parking lot outside the “headquarters” of the GU hotel/party central. [...]

Georgetown v. St. John’s at Madison Square Garden – story is – Hoyas and probably still called the Redmen at this point -for Hoya fans and Alumni at this point trying to get back the magic of the early to Mid- 1980s and with Iverson at the point, shooting guard and pretty much everywhere else, [...]
