To anyone who associated with Mason post 2001, he really is a mythical beast of a man that you only hear of him from passed down stories. He may or may not be real... but his greatness carries him forever. He's basically the Mason version of Odysseus or Archilles.
Also, why can I say shit but not a** on this forum?
It's wild too, it's only been two months and he's checked all these blocks with the fanbase and really endeared himself already. It just shows you how easy it is, and that previous folks really just didn't care about it what so ever.Yep- English gets it. Embracing the history, connecting with a fanbase. Guy just gets it and is a breath of fresh air.
Lets hope it translates to his coaching ability too since we expect anywhere from 5-8 A10 titles under him.
I expect 1,500 wins and 10 National Championships in the first 3 years!Yep- English gets it. Embracing the history, connecting with a fanbase. Guy just gets it and is a breath of fresh air.

i have never truly understood why something like this never got going. I don't think I'm oversimplifying when i say that it'd just require a working group to come up with baseline criteria for number retirement and maybe a moderate chunk of change to buy some banners, set up a showcase/booth for trophies and plaques, and maybe a dedicated spot to house each players pictures.without a formal Hall of Fame there should be a Ceremony for each Jersey # retired and raised into the rafters. Ceremonies should occur at key games or vs key rivals were the arena is packed.
