Yes my friend emailed them too, maybe a day after this thread was posted, and hasn't heard anything back yet either. They are probably crushed under an avalanche of inquiries.

I'm working on organizing maybe 3-4 game watch parties for this year at a DC Bar appropriately named Mason Inn.

as soon as the schedule comes out I can nail down firm dates.

thoughts?

Mason Inn is a very Georgetown U bro bar and not accessible via metro. Perhaps another bar?

It's more the name if anything else and it is accessible by Bus.

I'm all for people arranging watch parties, if it's not in Fairfax though its gonna have to be metro accessible, otherwise my basement it is.

Do you consider a 20 minute metro bus ride from foggy bottom metro accessible?

Absolutely not, that is nearly 1.5 hours of travel time taking into account waiting for bus/train.

Patsby - you are welcome over anytime

Yesterday at 7:27am (meaning it was taken down sometime on August 26th)
Today marks an end of an era. The George Mason Final Four Run Wall is coming down. Come by today to pay your respect to the now familiar local shrine. Maybe if you're lucky we'll let you have a piece.

I've been reined in as well. My wife has been very understanding about my GMU obsession and knew about it when we were dating, but drew the line at green and gold tuxedos for our wedding. I relented on that one...
My wife is a bigger George Mason fan than me, if that's even possible. She still believes it's too soon to declare Paul Hewitt a lost cause. However, even she would see another season like 2013-14 as reason to dismiss Hewitt.

GIVING DAY 2023
Credit where credit is due - Raquel Nicole DeSouza from Fourth Estate got to the bottom of the Brion's Grille memorabilia question:
According to Jordan Doss, the manager of Brion’s Grille, school spirit items will be spread around the restaurant. For example, the basketball jerseys will be put in the bar area.

“We took down the display piece-by-piece and then early [on September 22], around 4 a.m., the whole wall [was] knocked down,” Doss said. “It’s not going to be put back up in the same sense.”

The restaurant is still determining how to re-arrange the newspaper clippings and pictures from the Final Four.

“One of the ideas would be to make small collages with [the pictures and newspaper clippings], so that they’re a little more manageable and we can put them in different spots,” Doss said. “Another idea has been to put some on the tables so you would be looking down at Final Four photos and clippings and stuff like that.”
