Re: Countdown to Selection Sunday thread

Gonzaga's win relieves the selection committee of what could have been a very big headache

And Sportscenter starts with the CAA final. I fear for the future of the world as we know it.

They love your Rams!
 
Re: Countdown to Selection Sunday thread

Everyone loves my Rams! We shoved a stake through the irritating douchebag Cinderella's heart!
 
Re: Countdown to Selection Sunday thread

I'm not part of the Mason Nation. But I have friendly diplomatic relations. And the Rams are really just a bunch of sheep.

The NCAA tourney? Won't know for a couple of weeks yet.

Never fear, both my school's fans will be cheering the Patriots on in their opening round NIT game with College of Charleston.

Eric Maynor just became the fave for this 2007 NCAA Tournament's Petey Sessoms Award (the award I gave on my old blog to best performance by a guy I'd never heard of before Championship Week).
About its origin...one of my colleagues covered the '92 first two rounds in Worcester and came back raving about Sessoms, a freshman at Old Dominion who torched Kentucky for 30 points even thought UK cruised. Three years later, we're all gathered 'round the TV on first round Friday as Petey carried ODU on his back to a triple-OT upset of third-seeded Villanova in a game that makes my all-time March Madness Top 10.
Last year's went to George Mason as a team.

Big deal. With nearly 30,000 undergrads, there better be a couple dozen hot girls.

Did you see that student section tonight? It was quite clear the overwhelming major was remedial math, with a minor in bandwagon jumping.

**** MASON NATION!!!!!

Re: Countdown to Selection Sunday thread

I'm sure the rest of the squad is encouraged by that.

On ESPN.com --
RICHMOND, Va. -- George Mason was 2 minutes from another trip to the NCAA tournament, when ric Maynor and Virginia Commonwealth stole it away.

That's not true. Most of the students have already mastered it by the time they walk in the door!!!! :D :D :D

Nah. What are the odds that the selection committee would take a CAA team that lost in the conference semifinals?
umm, I believe Mason lost in the semifinals of last year's CAA Tournament and got an 11 seed despite telling the world their point guard would be suspended for its next game for cracking Loren Stokes in the nads. Just sayin ODU & Drexel have some precedence for hope.

You missed the sarcasm font.

And as I mentioned, ODU doesn't have an AD on the selection committee.

So I hope ODU goes to the Final Four again in the NIT.
