This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Including Georgetown in that list is like the proverbial by MUddled
Wilt and I combined for 100 points in a game once. Okay, they account for 1 of the 8 titles you mention, but it's the oldest one (1984) and have only been back to the Final Four once (2007) since the mid-80s and haven't made it to the sweet 16 since that appearance.
Of course, there are plenty of reasons why Georgetown is a storied program and will continue to be well-known, but if you're basing your argument on recent tourney success then I don't think they fit that mold any better than Marquette, Xavier or Creighton. Maybe even Loyola.
