Here's to Cinderella!

So I now attend a school that is in the Final Four of the NCAA tournament. I didn't expect this to ever happen, but I have sincerely enjoyed shouting at the television set over the past couple of weeks. It's tempting to camp out on campus overnight to be in line for tickets to the Final Four in Indy, but it's hard to justify the move. Not much to report here on a more personal note. I'm swamped in midterms which I sort of need to do well on.

Go GMU!

Congradulations, Strauss. I've always wondered what it would be like to go to a school that was an NCAA national champion. And it would be even more cool if we were national champions in TWO major sports at the same time.


O...wait...
we are.

Personally, I'm pulling for LSU because they knocked off the arch-fiend Duke, but way to go George Mason.

If I were you, Strauss, I'd camp out ...

humor cop: what playful significance four has with midterms is beyond me.

Strauss said...

I have a ticket! I'm going. (Not kidding.)

SWEET, man!


(or is it "sweet, MAN!"?)

Strauss said...

Yeah, and as a bonus a sizeable chunk of my extended family lives in Indy, and it's close enough to Chicago for a visit on Sunday when there are no games.

Coye said...

Are you flying to Indy or driving?


I guess I'm asking if you'll be on "the road to the final four"


It's a bad joke, I know, but it's better than snakes on a plane.

I'll give you 5 bucks if you dress in or do something crazy enough to get on national TV!
