Mason Madness? George March?

Oh my God!.....Oh my God!!!!!!!!

George Mason, the red-headed stepchild of the public university system in Virginia, the "Patriots," members of the CAA (the Colonial Athletic Association--of which WM is a member), are in the FINAL FOUR of the NCAA Division I basketball tournament.

I never thought I would see the day that a CAA team would make it this far. And since WM is part of the CAA, and our colors are green and gold, and we are in Virginia....I am taking this win and pretending it is my own. I love the underdog, I love the story of it, I love everything about Mason going to the Final Four...if the 'Heels can't be there, if WM can't be there (if that ever happens in my lifetime, I may pass away from shock), then this is close enough for me. Unfortunately due to forces completely beyond my control, I could not watch it, but I was watching live score updates online, and jumping in my seat, when I realized that the scores were not refreshing in real time...so I enlisted Ena over IM to give me the play by play, which she did remarkably. If a day in the library can ever be salvaged by anything, then a #11 seed beating a #1 seed. March Madness really has lived it up to it's name....no #1 seeds in the Final Four, no returning Final Four appearances, upsets, overtimes....best sports time of the year (unless it is this year and it is a World Cup year, and then that is the best sports time, but I know most of you would not agree or understand the beauty).

Well, as my life is slowly deteriorating into nothing of interest to anybody, including me, I will try to post something interesting this week. Vegas recap with pictures will probably never come because apparently relying on others, not a good plan. But there is a new LOST this week and $1 oyster happy hours on Thursdays to fill the time between all of my work.
