[NU Sports] GMU

I can't let the George Mason win pass without comment.  I think it's  one of 
the greatest college sports stories and one of the most unbelievable  sports 
upsets of all time.  As a college sports Cinderella tale, it's  certainly the 
best one since Gary B. took the Purple to Pasadena.  To think  of this school 
that barely was on the map two weeks ago and now is in the Final  Four is just 
"amazing, amazing, amazing", to quote Casey Stengel.  Almost  gives one hope 
that we could at least make the "Final 64" by the end of this  century, doesn't 
it?
 
I hope that they go all the way.  I was rooting for them really hard  
yesterday, and I live five minutes from the Connecticut border and my  brother-in-law 
is a UCONN grad, so it's not like I root vs. the Huskies  usually.  They have 
a classy, gutsy, talented coach and they showed heart  and more athletic 
ability than anyone gave them credit for.  This is a team  you can fall in love 
with.  Reminds me a little of Schnur and Autry and  Fitzgerald and Hartl and 
Bates and .......
 
Anybody else feel like I do?
