GW would have finished 11th in the big east if they played in such a real conference . . .  Also, it is amazing that GW will not have beaten a single tournament team this season . . . Also, Maryland shouls be in the tournament if they win tonight.

I feel sick.

First off, seeing that we beat every team in our conferernce this year...and that we got bumped in the quarters MEANS:

That we will have beaten a tourney bound team this year!!!!!!

Secondly- i saw3 the whole game.  We were slow to the ball, noone played with any passion.  i caught Eliott standing three times instead of going for lose balls.  No communication and no hard play.  You get what you deserve when you play that way.

TK is afraid to interview athletes?  How about interviewing athletes is boring?  What do they have to say?  Because he doesn't interview athletes doesn't invalidate him.  He just deals on a higher plane than you like.  You want to hear athletes talk, turn on SportsCenter and every other sports radio talk show.

Let's be fair.  *Maryland* would finish 11th in the Big East.  GW would have finished behind UCONN, WVA, NOVA, and *maybe* Georgetown.  So we lose to a Temple team that has been underachieving all year without our most dominant inside presence *and* an important 15-minute a game defensive press-master and suddenly we're chopped liver??  Let's all remember something.  WTEM is PAID to cover Big East basketball.  They want fans to care about Big East basketball.  Ergo, they will waste no time in pimping the opinion that if you are thinking of rooting for GW, that you ought to remember that you would rather be listening to Georgetown games on Sportstalk 980. 

All we can do is pray that we are somehwhere near 100% personel wise when the NCAAs begin (Pops and Montrell).   Otherwise, we aren't going to go very far.

Does the jerk think we could squeak by South Florida?  Georgetown couldn't

At times I like Tony Corh-holer's wisecracks in his sports articles.  Otherwise, he's an overrated dolt. 

That being said and off my flabby chest, I feel strongly that we need Montrell (I know, I know, ad nauseum, I'm sorry, sorry) as well as Pops. 

BTW, Ziik, if you should find yourself in Cincinatti, eating a bowl of chili in a greasy-spoon, hole-in-the-wall of a diner, and you start saying I don't think the stuff they're serving here is chili ... be very afraid.

You can say what you want about Tony's comments towards GW and how accurate or fair they are, but the man is very qualified to make those comments.   There's a reason he has a column in the Washington Post, he's on Sports Reporters, he hosts PTI, he's been a radio success, and he was just chosent to help host Monday Night Football. 
Although he's a passionate and ecitable enthusiast, he has maintained a venerable stature amongst sports intelligentsia.  I'd liken him very much to a Mike Lupica--somebody who tends to write in the moment and with emotions of fans, and says what those sports fans are thinking.  The nature of that kind of writing sometimes leads people to make bold claims and such, but thats part of the fun of it. 

If GW was in the Big East, I'd say we're behind UConn, Nova, Pittburgh, Georgetown,  and WVU but ahead of Marquette, Cuse, Cincy, Seton Hall.  That puts us in the tournament and probably at around the same seeding.  Of course we probably we wouldn't be in the top 25 though....but then again, polls are just a bunch of coaches opinions.

I agree with much if not all of what's been said here about Horny Tonekeiser, but as a regular listener to his morning radio show (against the better judgment of Mrs. ELJ), I also know he's in the tank for any and every newspaper reporter in the world.  This blast came about because Karl had the temerity to criticize the Post for front-paging the story on Lutheran "Prep" that featured Omar. 

It was a lead-pipe cinch that Kornheiser would go off on that one.

That said, I still think the guy's a jerk.  A jerk with wit -- as opposed to a sense of humor -- but still a totally self-centered jerk.
