The Final Four: GMU, baby!!!!

Anybody else here from the Washington, D.C. area? I'm a proud alumnus of George Mason University, a school that most college basketball fans had never heard of until this March Madness.

That said: anyone know where I can catch the game against Florida on Saturday in London?  I know about Sports Cafe and I haven't heard good things about that place.  I might try Bodeans but it's not a huge sports pub, most people who go there are just eating.  In my next career, I'm going to open a decent US sports pub in London, God knows this town needs such a place!

Aw, I used to be so into college hoops back in the US. But ... out of sight, out of mind, I guess. I was always a Big East fan, though (go Providence College!). No idea who even made the tourney this year.

Who else is in the Final Four?

Florida vs. GMU

UCLA vs. LSU

I'm so excited for them!  I am an alumnus as well (class of '02).  I wish cool things had happened when I went there!  The basketball team was barely above intramural status!  Perhaps this will bring some much needed school spirit to the school and to Fairfax!  They sorely lacked it when I went there--no one care about anything that happened on campus.

The tournament is airing over here on NASN, but unfortunately I don't get that channel.

Go Mason!

Wow! Another GMU alumnus in the UK!  Would you be interested in joining a London chapter? I know of 4 mason grads in London at the moment. A bunch of us are getting together to watch the game Saturday at The Sports Cafe if you're interested. PM me for details.

I was SOOOO rooting for y'all! But, even with the loss, what a great story it was with GMU making it to the Final Four! Hello, Cinderella! Certainly nothing to be unhappy about!

Having said that, being a USC alumna, I was just happy that ucla got blown out by Florida!  Go Gators!
