I love a good watch party as much as the next person but...

unless its

1) Us in the NCAAs
2) us in the A10 championship game

I can't envision anything being shown in anything other than a restaurant. If and when we make the NCAAs again, it will be shown in the Johnson Center. I wonder where the A10 championship was shown on campus last year. Perhaps there wasn't anything because they wanted everyone to hit DC.

Nice article on Tony following in Coach L's footsteps

Tony Skinn has George Mason rolling with Jim Larrañaga in mind

Tony Skinn didn’t know exactly how he was going to do it as he was named the head coach at George Mason in 2023, but “one of the first initiatives” that he set out to accomplish was finding a way, any way to honor and “celebrate” Jim Larrañaga. Larrañaga’

Is all of the Final Four anniversary stuff happening at halftime and not pre-game? Trying to gauge how early I need to be there.

Take me back to Wichita State...

We lost to Wichita in fall 2006.

There will be autographs after the game with the 2006 Final Four team

 

[FlPatriot]

We lost to Wichita in fall 2006.

We beat Wichita state in the bracket buster in Feb 2006 and again in the tournament a month or so later. They did lose in fall 2006 but that was not nearly as important as the previous two meetings.

The basketball chatter is pretty dead. Maybe 6 people have posted about the basketball game. I guess that is what happens when football shows up and takes over.

This just in... I heard it from my 2nd cousin's, step sister's, grand-father-in-law's, blind parrot that Mason is gonna research how to bring NCAA FBS football to Fairfax in 2026! Remember, tho, you didn't hear it from moi—so, let's keep the chatter basketball-related.
