Once More, With Gusto!

October 9, 2007

Last March, a tidal wave hit the Hilltop. The men's basketball team swept us all up and carried us through March Madness all the way to Atlanta. Many of us happily adjusted our plans and made arrangements to go along for the ride. And what a ride it was!

For me, it was a wonderful case of Hoya overload. For four successive weekends, I took my camera and returned with hundreds of photos of Georgetown from the road -- so many photos in fact that most still have not surfaced.

Now with midnight madness just a few days away, I've decided to take the advantage of the coming weeks leading up to the first home game on November 10 to share some of the joyful photographic memories of last season's NCAA run.

What better way is there to look ahead than to look back to see where we've been?
