Irish Band of Brothers:
When the NCAA Tournament selection show was announced, Notre Dame didn't have much time to fill in their brackets. Within the first few pairings, the Irish were handed a #5 seed against the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament Champs, #12 seed George Mason. Yes, the dreaded 5 vs. 12 matchup that everyone and their mother wants to avoid come March. But for the Irish, is it really that bad?

Blair O'Neal is best compared to the 2005-2006 George Mason Patriots. Going into this contest, little was known of O'Neal. Now, we know she is a great golfer, budding reality TV star(via Golf Channel's The Big Break), model, and Lingerie Bowl QB. In hindsight, it is clear that Blair belongs in the Final Four of the World's Hottest Athlete.

The NCAA Tournament season is underway. We are all in search of "this year's George Mason," knowing there is no such team in the field. George Mason's run to the Final Four introduced the nation to a cast of new stars, including big man Jai Lewis. Undrafted Free Agent explores Lewis's professional careers (both football and basketball) since his burst onto the national stage.

We all knew that Jim Larranaga was going to get a serious payday from George Mason's improbable run to the Final Four in 2006. But who knew that Jim would be hitting Jay-Z territory so soon?

Gunston: what is it? Good question. Ever since I have been a student at Mason that has been the mystery around campus. Aren't we the George Mason Patriots? Apparently GMU's verison of a patriot is a furry green blob, who looks like a poorly constructed Sesame Street character. I guess this is supposed to better represent our campus and its vast diversity? Our school just...

Oh the George Mason University bookstore never stops the creativity, even during the long days of summer. I must say I did enjoy what they came up with on the "Mason Nation wants you" shirts, even though the school's politically incorrectness correctness forced the "Patriot's" face to be colored in green and gold. But today you can find the bookstore&...

As noted yesterday, the Caps Drumline has been making their presence known at games lately. A quick Google search led me to discover the drumline's identity: "The Mean Green"
from George Mason University. (That explains the green drums.) It's
almost like Mike Green has his own marching band; he certainly deserves
one. Luckily for fans, the drumline will be...

First off, I finally have a name to thank for the "Defense Lives Here" banner. Thanks to the GBI basketball board for drawing my attention to this, as we have Paint Crew Secretary Zach West to thank for the idea of the banner. I love it. My only wish is that I want to be about seven years younger. If this had been there when I was a senior in 2002 I would have gladly been...
