A certain someone sent me a preview of the article about Ovechkin that's going to appear in the November issue of Men's Fitness (thank you, certain someone!). It's not a bad "interview," very informative, even though Ovechkin didn't actually answer too many questions. He does say what he would do with the Cup if he won it ("take it to Moscow and show my friends on the Dynamo"), even though it would be an "improbable run" and would "shock the world" if Washington got to that level (the article's quotes, of course, not mine). Will the Caps ever get some respect? That's the real question.
Great article about GW's football team (yes, they had one once upon a time) in today's Washington Times:
When the teams took the field before a sellout crowd of 15,000 at Kidd Field, it soon became evident a potential mismatch was indeed under way -- the other way. GW's heavier lines dominated play in the trenches. Among the Miners [Texas Western, now UTEP] going nowhere on offense was halfback Don Maynard, later a star receiver for Joe Namath's New York Jets. Texas Western had just two first downs and 7 yards rushing in the first half.
Two first downs and 7 yards rushing in the first half in a bowl game?! Can you imagine? And GW shut them out. Awesome. At least they had one good bowl victory in all those years of bad football.

I would only be "improbable" if it happened this year. They are at least one Defenseman away from getting to the playoffs.
GW Football undefeated since 1967!
Xavier football undefeated since the 70's!! Woo Hoo!
The Caps are at least fun to watch and I don't think a playoff run is out of the question...they just need some experience..
My high school team must have something in common with GW -- they're undefeated too for the same reason. LOL!
