Huh, Georgetown Has White Basketball Players?

Perusing ESPN's website I came across Report: G'town's Mescheriakov to miss 10 games. Immediately I thought to myself, Mescheriakov, that doesn't sound like a Georgetown hoopster. Than I opened up the article and saw that the first name was Nikita and naturally thought "well it ends in an A so it must be the Georgetown woman's team. I didn't know the Hoyas Woman's team was relevant."

Well I guess I was wrong. Nikita Mescheriakov is in fact male, he is in fact white and he is in fact a part of the Georgetown Hoyas Mens Basketball team. He was suspended for 10 games after he apparently suited up for a Professional squad in his native Belarus and will miss the tough season opener against William & Mary on saturday.

So the 07-08 Georgetown Hoyas will have a White European who is supposed to get decent minutes when he is active. I really have no idea what that's going to look like come Tournament time, it just seems odd to me. Could you honestly picture Big John, Patrick Ewing, AI, Dikembe Mutombo, Zo or anyone other Hoya for that matter conversing with a White kid from Belarus on the Hoya bench?

This is taking the token white kid that cheers at the end of the bench to another level by getting a tall, goofy Euro-Trash kid.

Actually there were two white kids on the squad last year (only one scholarship.) Two on the team this year as well. Last white blue chipper was Matt Causey, who is now a Senior transfer at Georgia Tech.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
