Raise your hand if you had George Mason in your Final Four.

Anyone?

I didn’t think so, especially since I doubt the school’s Athletic Director, or the three clueless secretaries who randomly picked them, read this blog.

But no matter how improbable it seems, George Mason is in the Final Four, stunning Connecticut in overtime to make history. With the win, GMU joins the 1986 LSU Tigers as the lowest seed (#11) to appear in the NCAA semi-finals. They also become the first small conference team since Penn and Indiana State in 1979 to make the final weekend of March Madness. (Yes, those were Larry Bird’s Indiana State Sycamores)

With my bracket officially destroyed, all I can say is; Go George Mason....at least one group of Patriots is having a good March!!!

So what do you think bloggers? Will the clock strike twelve for George Mason or can the ultimate Cinderella win this thing? Is there anyone out there whose bracket is still alive? Is it possible to root for anyone other than the Patriots?
