Davidson Isn’t This Year’s George Mason
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008Thanks to stupid GMU, from now until forever we are going to have to listen to the collective media ponder, “who is this year’s George Mason?” Unfortunately, there will probably never be a Tourney team like ‘06 Mason, and this year is no different. Despite how obvious this is to me, it hasn’t stopped the […]
Notre Damn Is ‘Poppin Their Collars Now’
Friday, March 21st, 2008So, that went well.
To paraphrase Mike Donnelly in Black Sheep, it’s kinda easy to win when you NEVER MISS A SHOT! Or at least that’s how it felt during the five minutes of the game that I actually got to watch. The bar I went to turned it off (and rightfully so) less than halfway […]
Mason Nation Is Now Recruiting Fans
Monday, March 17th, 2008First off, I’m extremely pleased with Mason’s draw in the Tournament. I was hoping for a Big Ten team in the first round, but Notre Dame will do just fine. Granted, I know little about their basketball team this year, but Notre Dame is generally overrated at everything and they have too many white guys. […]
GMU Could Be This Year’s George Mason
Monday, March 10th, 2008In what is a complete, utter and altogether pleasant surprise, GMU is headed back to the NCAA Tournament.
It was pretty clear throughout the season that this was a team that had to win the CAA tourney to get a bid, and thanks to William & Mary taking down VCU, that goal went from pipe dream […]
Mason Is One Win From the Dance
Sunday, March 9th, 2008Just like last season, Mason headed into the CAA Tourney knowing they had to earn their bid by winning the whole damn thing. And just like last season, they’ve made it to the CAA championship game. But unlike last year, all that stands between Mason and the Dance is William & Mary, who pulled off […]
Dre Smith Hits 10 Threes, Misses Zero
Sunday, January 20th, 2008Yes, you done read that right. Mason’s Andre Leaward LaVaé Smith — who happens to be my favorite Patriot based solely on his name — was a perfect 10-for-10 from beyond the three point line last night. It was an NCAA record. No big deal. He did, however, miss one shot from inside the arch, […]
George Mason Hoops Is About to Go Off
Saturday, December 1st, 2007In their last four games, the Patriots have beaten Michael Beasley Kansas State, lost a close one to Villanova, beat South Carolina and, most recently, whooped CAA stablemate Drexel by 47. Yeah, they beat a decent team by 47. So maybe this week they’ll get at least one vote in the USA Today/ESPN Poll?
For perspective, […]
