HoyaSaxa.com: Our Story
No. The site is independent from the official site at GUHoyas.com.
"What's the difference between your site and GUHoyas.com?"
GUHoyas.com (the official Georgetown site) provides updates and news on all teams from Sports Information, and they do a fairly good job of keeping people informed. HoyaSaxa.com provides regular updates on only two sports, football and men's basketball.
"When did this page get started?"
In late 1996, I was working on a web page for the Georgetown alumni club of Dallas-Ft. Worth, when Georgetown called and said they were bringing their web pages in-house, so there was no need for my effort. But having paid for a personal web page and not wanting it to go to waste, I decided to convert the club's site into a series of links for Georgetown sports. The first page was for football (an early version of that page can be seen here) and by late 1996, a basketball page.

The site's original address was admittedly hard to find and existed on a word of mouth basis. In late 1997, we made the move to HoyaSaxa.com (a domain owned by an alumnus in the New England area) and the results have been great.
"Does Georgetown provide you with the information on the site?"
No. While we may link to an article or cite a statistic from their site, the information here is largely separate from their activities, which is fine for both of us.
