It started with a text this morning from my cousin Joe: “Hoyas and Chinese National team. Bench Clearing brawl!”
I am currently at the the Outer Banks so I called my dad who was on the beach to tell him the news.
His response?
“We are back.”
Now I am not advocating brawls and understand that in these tense times, diplomacy is of the utmost importance. So I do not condone the actions of my beloved Hoyas. However, like many other Hoyas fans, I couldn’t help but be a little excited that these Hoyas have some toughness. Getting crushed by Ohio as a #3 seed in the NCAA tournament can do that to you. Or getting run over by Virginia Commonwealth.
Will this lead Georgetown to a National Championship or even a tourney birth? Ehh…doubt it. But it is great to know that this team now has some heart. Somewhere Michael Graham, Reggie Williams, and Othella Harrington are smiling.
