7-29 Dinner with a Hoya

Thursday, July 29th 2010 by Caleb

There are things they teach you as a finance and accounting double major at Georgetown University, and then there things they do not teach you as a finance and accounting major at Georgetown University.

Messin’ with Bobcats basketball is one of the latter, and as a result, a Hoya learned his lesson Tuesday.

My longtime high school friend Gerald (we’ll save his last name for embarassment purposes) was so quick to agree to the friendly wager on that Mar. 14th Selection Sunday.

A Georgetown win…lunch on me at Panera.  A seemingly unimaginably Ohio upset…a trip to the fine dining establishment Ruth’s Chris Steak House, with the Hoya undergrad picking up the tab.  Pretty simple, we both thought.

Tuesday, I reaped the benefits of that shocking 14-seeded win by an Ohio team that barely anyone—including yours truly—gave a fighting chance.

So I dined well Tuesday night and tried my hardest not to reiterate the fine points of the 97-83 shalacking by the Green and White.

I did not want to remind Gerald of the 13 three-pointers the ‘Cats dropped, or  the seven turnovers the defense forced against now NBA center Greg Monroe.  I didn’t want to rub in the fact guard D.J. Cooper was merely a 5-9 freshman playing on two weary legs, or that Ohio had to win at Ball State just to even get to the Mid-American Conference tournament in Cleveland.

Nope, I just ate away, a hidden smirk on my face the entire meal.

Besides, while Gerald’s bet may have set him back a few bucks, I think we can all agree it will be ME asking HIM for a job in a few years.

Sports tends to work that way—it brings us together one way or another.  The Bobcats’ success sure did, and look no further than the celebration on Court Street Mar. 18th, a night and a scene I will never forget.

Bon Appétit.

One other point I would like to state is that there are plenty of games available and which are designed especially for toddler age children. They incorporate pattern identification, colors, animals, and shapes. These usually focus on familiarization in lieu of memorization. This will keep children occupied without sensing like they are learning. Thanks

The more I actually look at it a lot more I am convinced it does not respond like a true solid human cancer. If mesothelioma is a rogue virus-like infection, then there is the potential for developing a vaccine plus offering vaccination for asbestos subjected people who are vulnerable to high risk connected with developing upcoming asbestos linked malignancies.
