And no, your friends don’t have to be Hoyas but they better not be Duke fans. Then again, after we win, it will be fun to have someone to laugh at after the game.

FATHER G. RONALD MURPHY, S.J. - Monday, October 16, 2006 - Holy Grail

THE GEORGETOWN CLUB OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO, ST. IGNATIUS INSTITUTE WOULD LIKE YOU TO JOIN US FOR A RECEPTION WITH SPECIAL GUEST FATHER G. RONALD MURPHY, S.J.
PROFESSOR OF GERMAN, GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY GEMSTONE OF PARADISE THE HOLY GRAIL IN WOLFRAM’S PARZIVAL

Monday, October 16, 2006
5:30pm – 7:00pm
University of San Francisco • Fromm Hall, Xavier Chapel, Room 120
2130 Fulton St. San Francisco, California

The phenomenal success of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code has given new life to the
perennial debate about the nature and meaning of the Holy Grail.The story of the Grail,
usually identified as some kind of mystical vessel, has gripped the imaginations of millions
since it first appeared in several medieval romances. Of these,Wolfram von Eschenbach’s
Parzival (c.1200) is generally recognized as the most complex and beautiful. Strangely, in
Parzival, the Grail is identified as a stone rather than a cup or dish.This oddity is usually seen
as just another mystery, further evidence of the difficulty of discerning the true sources of the
Grail legend. In this groundbreaking study, Ronald Murphy seeks to dispel this mystery and
to enable a far better appreciation of Wolfram’s purposes.Wolfram, Murphy argues, wanted to
chastise his contemporaries who looked for the Grail in the possession of Muslims in the
Holy Land. This is Georgetown teaching at its best—stellar scholarship combined with
warm humanism. In the past Fr. Murphy has spoken about the Brothers Grimm,The History
of the Christmas Tree, Ritual and Realization and the role of the Christ as Warlord in
medieval Saxon Literature.
Fr. Murphy will be available to sign books after the presentation.
Please RSVP by October 6

to Jennifer Niedermeyer at jniedermeyer@gmail.com or (415) 351-1848

The Club would like to thank University of San Francisco for hosting us.
Space is limited. For more information about Father Muprhy’s work, please visit www.gronaldmurphy.com

Title: Great Power in quicksand: Vestiges of Rome in Modern Day Iraq The fate of Rome in Mesopotamia remains relevant for modern policy makers. Why? Because the Roman Empire faded into history at the dawn of the first pan-Arab state, and many on the so-called "Arab Street" now dearly hope this same fate might befall the United States. Provost Jim O'Donnell has a unique perspective on modern-day Iraq, thanks to his stature as one of the foremost experts on St. Augustine. St. Augustine of Hippo was at the same time a born-again Christian and an African, an anti-Semite and a theological fountainhead of Reformation theology on
grace. Dr. O'Donnell will use an Augustinian lens to examine the weaknesses and strengths that led to the decline of the Roman Empire and eventual rise of the Ottoman Empire, and he'll share a better perspective for understanding our world today. James J. O'Donnell received his Ph.D. from Yale, and then spent over two decades at the University of Pennsylvania in History and computer information systems. In 2002 he became Provost at Georgetown University. He has published nine books with a tenth forthcoming, and for the past decade has served as co-editor of /NewJour/. Please join us for what promises to be an educational and controversial evening
examining a long-ago nation at the periphery of the first global power, and a modern-day failed state at the far reaches of the latest global power.

Washington Post Article by Michael Wilbon, Area Rivals Provide A Glimpse of Past, Future

Area Rivals Provide A Glimpse of Past, Future
By Michael Wilbon Monday, March 20, 2006; E01
DAYTON, Ohio As the Georgetown Hoyas ran to their locker room with a 13-point halftime lead, John Thompson III caught a glimpse of George Mason Coach Jim Larranaga. And as consumed as Thompson was with his team's game against favored Ohio State in a Buckeyes-crazed University of Dayton Arena, he knew what had transpired an hour earlier. Thompson III knew his neighbors in Fairfax had just knocked off North Carolina in a game that shook the NCAA tournament.
Not even breaking stride, Thompson III stepped to his right and shared a firm congratulatory handshake and smile with Larranaga. The George Mason coach, while conducting interviews, would occasionally contort his body to look out of a tunnel at the scoreboard. And when the Hoyas filed into the dressing room for intermission, Larranaga encouraged them to "keep it up . . . 20 more minutes!"
Whatever Washington area college basketball rivalries exist took a break here Sunday in the NCAA tournament. Georgetown and George Mason fans sat essentially side by side in the arena and enjoyed as fulfilling an afternoon as was possible . . . so far.
George Mason, the school with no college basketball pedigree but clearly on its way up, beat North Carolina, giving the Colonial Athletic Association a stunning victory over the Atlantic Coast Conference. And Georgetown, the school with plenty of pedigree and on its way back, essentially won a road game, beating second-seeded Ohio State. And both, Georgetown and George Mason, scored big upsets, at least according to the seedings.
Mason held North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough, the best freshman in the nation, to two points in the second half and 10 overall. And while Ohio State's left-tackle of a power forward, senior Terence Dials, scored 19 points, he was still outplayed by Georgetown's dramatically improving sophomore center, 7-foot-2 Roy Hibbert.
The true beauty in the madness of March isn't just the upsets; it's the discovery of new talent, of kids we didn't much know when the season began in November. And at the top of that list is Hibbert, who makes even cynical coaches wonder every day how a kid could improve this much from game to game. Georgetown, right now, is a threat to beat anybody. And just suppose, for a second, the Hoyas beat Florida and Villanova beats Boston College on Friday. Sorry for hyperventilating, but that would set up Georgetown vs. Villanova for the chance to go to the Final Four, which would lead CBS executives to faint.
Anyway, Georgetown is that good now, and apparently so is George Mason.
Long after midnight Friday, waiting for some pizzas to be delivered to a hotel lobby, Big John Thompson more or less predicted what George Mason would do Sunday. He told a group of us how much he liked the Patriots' aggression, how well they played together, how mentally tough and well-coached George Mason was. People peeked at their brackets and presumed North Carolina would beat Mason, but Thompson kept warning us. "Boys, you better listen to the old coach," he said.
Of course, this whole tournament has been one big warning. Maybe it has even been a peek at the future of college basketball. Not only are "mid-majors" Bradley, Wichita State, George Mason and Gonzaga in the Sweet 16, but Wisconsin-Milwaukee won a game, as did Northwestern State and Bucknell. And Albany, Winthrop and Murray State scared the daylights out of No. 1 seed Connecticut, No. 2 seed Tennessee and No. 3 seed North Carolina in the very first round.
George Mason -- brace yourselves -- in one weekend eliminated half of last year's Final Four.
So the question needed to be asked of Larranaga: Did he consider George Mason's victory over North Carolina really an upset?
"I read something in the paper today," Larranaga said. "I'm not sure who said it, but they said, 'In this tournament, there are no upsets. There are just good teams, playing hard, playing well.' I would like to think that's true because the college game has changed dramatically over the years. Quite frankly, there is a lot of parity in the country right now. I think the [tournament selection] committee showed its wisdom and knowledge about the college game. I think the experience that Jim Nantz and Billy Packer has works against them. They're brilliant guys, and I'm a big fan of both of them. But they remember all those great athletes and teams and future pros [that played in the ACC and Big Ten and Pacific-10].
"They think it's the same. It's not. Ask them how many times they saw George Mason play this year? Definitely not in person. They probably didn't watch any video on us, so they had no idea going into Selection Sunday what George Mason is all about."
Roy Williams said, "I remember a time when you were a 1, 2 or 3 seed, you could win the first couple of rounds without playing particularly well."
Larranaga added that teams that simply buy what's commonly known as guaranteed home games against lesser schools and then go .500 in their conference schedule haven't done enough to get ready for March -- not anymore.
Yes, Larranaga's right. Packer admitted publicly he hadn't seen the Missouri Valley Conference play, which is why he didn't think the MVC deserved as many as four at-large bids. Larranaga, don't forget, was an assistant coach at Virginia. He remembers when each ACC team "had three, four future pros. But the college game has changed."
North Carolina, Duke, Ohio State, Syracuse, Connecticut -- all the top 20 programs -- likely have two future NBA players. But George Mason might have one, Davidson might have one, Murray State might have one.
And they're well-coached in many instances. They're less likely to be thinking about turning professional early because they're late bloomers who don't arrive on campus believing they're dripping with talent. George Mason may or may not have future pros, but with Will Thomas, Jai Lewis, Gabe Norwood, Lamar Butler, Folarin Campbell, Tony Skinn and Sammy Hernandez, they've got players who grew up competing with the likes of Hansbrough and Reyshawn Terry in AAU ball and in dozens of high school all-star games across the country. There's a familiarity now that didn't exist 25 years ago.
The upstarts have come to believe, increasingly, there simply isn't that much difference between them and the blue bloods.
And by beating Michigan State and North Carolina, maybe they've shown us new possibilities for March. Yes, only one-quarter of the teams remaining are mid-majors, which means three-quarters come from the super powers. But the super powers had better not look back; they'll find something, sure enough, is gaining on them.

HOYA BASKETBALL FRIDAY MARCH 17th - 11:45 a.m. at the Bus Stop on Union Street

It's been so long since last we met!

Hey there Hoya Faithful. Hopefully you have already heard the great news that the Hoyas are back in the NCAA tournament. Wahoo!
