Patrick Ewing gone…

[District-Husky]

I really, really like going to DC. My younger daughter lives in capitol hill area. She's 31 and my business trips took me there before she joined the world.
My 3/4 estimate may have been and probably was too high. I'm long enough in the tooth to have spent time in every large metro area in the U.S. So, I do not mean to disparage the city; but bad is bad and it has spots as bad as south Philly and south side Chicago. Sucks. I agree that those neighborhoods absolutely have "places to see" and.....get shot. I stay away.
My dope habit is long gone .

Go Huskies! Metro Storrs is incredible.

edit and PS: it took a minute to get the DMV thing. I was thinking cars.

I lived in Philadelphia for 10 years and now live in SE DC for 15 years. South Philly is not dangerous. But North Philly is a bombed out hellscape. And there is nowhere in DC that either looks like North Philly or is as bad. You’d have to go to Baltimore for that.

DC today is over 3/4 gentrified. It’s a lovely city with great neighborhoods. The only really bad neighborhoods are EOTR and even those neighborhoods aren’t that bad. As far as homicides - almost every homicide in DC (like all NE cities) is a young black man killing another young black man. So unless you’re a young black man you’re chances of being murdered are remote.

How much more can they bump it up? He makes about 4 million per year.

By necessity, as much as GTown is offering.

$20 beer nights for Providence next year.

This makes me think Cooley. There was that cryptic tweet from Norlander like 2 weeks back about an in the tournament head coach maybe going somewhere else.

Providence without Cooley is probably the third worst program in the Big East. Would be nice if Georgetown would go outside the Big East to make the conference stronger, but lol at Providence.

 

[tykurez]

Could be Shrewsberry though? PSU is a tournament team and I know that tweet by Norlander referenced a tournament team.

It will be Brey

Georgetown is a tired, moribund program. There’s no magic there.

You may be right, but that doesn’t mean the right coach couldn’t come in and turn things around. G’town’s problem (IMO) is it has been too tied to the John Thompson Jr, Esherick, JT the 3rd, Pat Ewing “legacy” or whatever you want to call it. Time for fresh blood from outside the family.

Fans who comment on casualhoya.com agree with you said the same thing.

They should hire Chris Beard or Will Wade if they're serious about winning again.

I think he took umbrage with you calling Washington DC a hellscape.

I like DC a lot

Great city.

Cooley to ND makes more sense.

Cooley to ND makes more sense.

That’s one of the few he would even consider. Only school other than one that starts “University of…..”. It’s in his ACC recruiting wheelhouse too. Would take $5-6 Mil.

Sounds like Georgetown is hellbent on remaining bad...

It's be a shame if the players thought Rick was bailing on Iona. I hear it's a done deal. Or at least that's the rumor I'm spreading until Friday.

Lol RIP bozo

Clean sweep…

It will be Brey

He fits the facts the best, but the Cooley to Georgetown narrative is more entertaining in the near term.

I sincerely hope not. That is not pick that will rejuvenate the Hoyas. Brey is a mediocre rundown retread.

Ironically, mediocrity be a step up for the Hoyas right now.

That would be a horrific choice
