Band Geeks Break Out Rage Against The Machine, Are Cooler Than You
For the final home game of the year, the George Mason pep band busted out their "Killing In The Name Of"/"Bulls On Parade" medley. I bet the woodwinds got so much tail that night. [via DC Sports Bog]...
I Was There: The UCONN Gutpunches
Andrew Porter, editor of TheUConnBlog has two #iwasthere games, though one of them didn't take place in the NCAA's....
George Mason's Homecoming Queen Is A Dood (With Video)
What would American revolutionary and founding father George Mason say if he knew that a gay man had been elected homecoming queen at the University that bears his name? Probably: "What's a homecoming queen?"...
NCAA Pants Party: Notre Dame Vs. George Mason
Notre Dame Fighting Irish (24-7) vs. George Mason Patriots (23-10) When: Thursday, 9:40 p.m. Where: Denver...
George Mason Patriots
1. They've Been There. All right, so "experience" is incredibly overrated; after all, the Mason team that made the Final Four run had none of it whatsoever. But having been there is better than not having been there, right? Still on this team from the '06 run is point guard Folarin Campbell (no rela...
George Mason Would Make The Final Four, If It Knew Where It Was
You might think it somewhat presumptive that George Mason, fresh off its Colonial Athletic League title, would already be printing Final Four T-shirts. (Act like you've been there before, people! Oh ... wait ...) But if they were to do so, one would think they've at least have the Final Four's right...
Cheer, Cheer For Old William And Mary
Anyone who remembers George Mason's amazing run to the Final Four a couple of years ago might find it difficult to cheer against them, but if there's ever a time to, tonight's the night. Because at 7 p.m., their opponent in the CAA Championship Game is William & Mary. And that's amazing....
Gunston Sleeps With The Fishes
The folks over at The Realests are claiming victory today, saying that they have taken out the mascot of an NCAA Basketball Final Four school in a bloodless coup. We're referring of course to Gunston, the green, furry, Muppet-like creature who until recently was the costumed mascot of George Mason...
One Depressing Sports Weekend
We don't mean to overstate this, but Saturday was a disappointing an evening for college basketball as we can remember. It's not just that George Mason lost to Florida, or even that they lost so convincingly. Their legend had been secured simply by making it to Indianapolis at all; any mid-major w...
Cinderella Mauled By Gator
The lead is 13 with under four minutes to play. I just don't see it happening, Patriots. And you know, I'd be upset about it if you were losing to a less likable team, but I've no issues with Florida. If this was UConn, I'd be pounding my head against the monitor right now....
Gators vs. Patriots: 5:16, Second Half
Mason's chipping back into a little bit, but Florida just keeps hitting threes. The game has certainly taken on a Florida kind of pace. Florida's up 13....
Gators vs. Patriots: 11:49, Second Half
I didn't catch much of the halftime, but man... Adam Morrison is hurting. They gave him the Chevrolet Player of the Year, and I think the man is clinically depressed. He looked down, talked softly, had nothing to say, and he hasn't washed his hair in over a month. I feel like writing him a letter ...
Gators vs. Patriots: Halftime
I was wrong about the new batch of commercials, by the way. The lame Southwest "Wanna get away?" commercials are back in the rotation, as is that fucking Capitol One angel....
Gators vs. Patriots: 3:48, First Half
I think I could watch Jai Lewis do just about anything and be entertained. Patient, smooth, controlled, quick... all at 275 pounds. I could probably even be talked into buying a Jai Lewis gay sex tape....
Gators vs. Patriots: 9:50, First Half
Hey, a Dick Vitale commercial for DiGiorno's. A few minutes ago, I felt like ordering pizza. I was really considering it. I've completely lost the taste for it, though....
Gators vs. Patriots: 1st TV Timeout
Sometimes I hate Jim Nantz and his dramatic voice. When you say "Jim Nantz and Billy Packer," there no reason to make it sound like you're doing a Jack Nicklaus career retrospective at Augusta National....
Patriots In A Major Sporting Event That You Can Actually Cheer For
It's getting to be about that time. George Mason vs. Florida will be tipping off about 20 minutes after this is posted. I'll be sticking with you through both games, dear friends, so feel free to hang around, get down in the comments, or e-mail me with any thought you have about the game, the broa...
It's A Final Four Pants Party
Obviously, the best story at this weekend's Final Four in Indianapolis is George Mason, but we've found the best story of that best story: It turns out that until this weekend, the George Mason fight song had no lyrics. Seriously; they had to write a whole batch just because the NCAA was asking fo...
Your Daily Dose Of Billy Packer Bile
WJFK Radio in Washington, D.C., is, like most of the country, awash in George Mason Mania these days. How could they not be? And, this morning, the Junkies Radio show dug up an old interview with none other than Mid-Major Public Enemy No. 1 Billy Packer....
At The Crossroads Of NCAA History
It is rare when one is fortunate enough to have, almost literally, a front-row seat to history, so we are envious of AOL blogger Chris Mottram, who not only runs an enjoyable blog called Saved By The Blog, but also happens to currently be a student at George Mason University. (He even has a class ...
