The George Mason University Patriots, the poster-child of a libertarian-oriented university... and unique in its niche, is playing in the NCAA tournament tonight at 7:10PM againt evil statist anti-libertarian Michigan State University. Your assignment is to root for the underdog... (and I don't mean the Spartans).
Whisper in Evolution's or God's ear, whichever appeals to you... We aren't above appealing to dumb luck either, if you happen to know her telephone number. Sucking down more beer than is strictly healthy is optional...

And that would be what time zone?

Eastern I believe. As of 20:07 EST the game was at the half. GMU 33 and Michigan State 30.

Sorry Vinne, this was in the DC division, but wasn't sure which time zone was relevant because it's played in the West. Easter TZ, as ML says.
Hi, ML... long time no see. I'll be leaving the local area soon so if we're gonna do that lunch we'd better do it soon.

OK we did it, thanks! I'm sure you guys made the difference! Final score 75:65 in favor of GMU! For those not familiar with this story, the GMU coach Jim Larranaga benched the team's second highest scorer for a foul commited against Hofstra during a recent game. The penalty wasn't required, but Larranaga wanted Snow to learn a lesson, so the team played without him in the critical game. Snow will now be playing in the round 2 game.
Go Patriots!

If you live in the DC metro area, all 3 George schools made it to the second round. George Washington, George Mason, & Georgetown. Kinda cool. I'm sorta partial to George Washington, mainly because I take the metro to work and thats were I get off at(Foggy Bottom/George Washington).

OK. Ecstatic that George mason beat Michigan State, but now it is time for George mason to lose. It is facing GOD'S TEAM, the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, and it would be very bad for George Mason, its players, coaches, fans, and school, to give GOD'S TEAM any problems Sunday. I implore all assocaited with George Mason basketball to make sure that GEORGE MASON MUST LOSE SUNDAY TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS!!!
