George Mason will be National Champs 2006
Why not?
Why not George Mason?
They've already proved themselves capable of defying conventional wisdom and busting everyone's brackets (including mine).
The fact that they're having so much fun and are playing basketball the way it's supposed to be just makes all the more sweet.
I have to admit, being from GW, I looked down on George Mason just a bit. Just the same as how Gtown students look down on GW just bit- don't hate the playa hate the game.
But they're a local school, I know people who went there, and I've been there myself. So I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Actually, I was on the bandwagon after Mason knocked out my UNC, my favorite team in college sports (other than GW, of course).
After Michigan State I just figured it was one of those upsets that happen every year, when some unfavored team takes out one of the big dogs (or at least a bigger dog than them).
But then when Mason beat my Tar Heels, I realized then that I had to respect them. I was confident of victory against Wichita St. I was more hesitant against UConn- before the game.
I was watching that game with a couple of friends and towards the end of regulation we started to get the feeling of "why not George Mason?"
So I'm shamelessly jumping on the bandwagon. I'm rooting for the "unknown team" in the "unknown conference" who crashed the big dance to go all the way. After knocking off the past two national champs, they've proved they're capable.
