-The 2007 NFL season kicks off tonight with a possible super bowl preview. I'm taking the Saints. I still have questions about the Indianapolis defense, especially when you factor in all of the new faces suiting up for Tony Dungy.
-A-Rod: an MRI in the afternoon and two homers in one inning at night. The Yanks took two of three from Seattle to open up a three-game lead in the wild card race.
-The Phillies blew a six-run lead and remain three games out of the playoff picture.
-The Diamondbacks moved back into first in the NL West.
-"The mack-daddy baseball team."
-Andy Roddick played well, but once again couldn't overcome Roger Federer.
-Allan Houston is on the comeback trail.
-Another amusing tale about a Maryland student-athlete.
-The women's soccer team moved to 3-0 on a penalty kick in the 87th minute.
-A stress fracture in his kneecap should not force Travis King to miss game time.

Back in the saddle again
So it's been a while, but since another school year has started, posting will become frequent again.
The Hatchet has the non-conference schedules for the men's and women's basketball squads. I fully understand the issues that Athletic Director Jack Kvancz cites in creating the annual slate that is largely slammed by fans and pundits alike. After all, you can only play with the hand you're dealt. However, here is what I don't understand: is it unrealistic to think that local schools like George Mason or Old Dominion wouldn't be willing to start a home-and-home series? Even American would look better on the schedule than Mount St. Mary's (although Fred Carter of ESPN is a graduate).
Elsewhere at GW, both soccer teams are off to hot starts. With three seconds left in overtime, Erick Perez-Segnini scored from about 20 feet out to give the men's team a 2-0 start and the program's first-ever Adidas D.C. College Cup title. The women's squad equaled the start of its male counterparts by winning the TD Banknorth Classic over the weekend. Former women's basketball walk-on Amie Kern was named the defensive most valuable player of the event.
Good start for GW sports. Hopefully this can be a trend that continues throughout the coming year.
