Seems random. Does GMU have a connection to Capitol one?

Capital One owns the naming rights to the arena where we beat UConn, even though it was the Verizon Center on the day of the game.
One of their senior execs is a Mason grad, but I think the naming rights is why the image is used.

I've always wondered if Cap One would eventually buy Eagle Bank, which then would change the name of our own arena.

Super Random. My guess was bc they wanted to showcase a historic event that happened at Capital One Arena. You would think they would just paint the wall with Capital One colors and logos right?

So my brother works at Capital One in Richmond. He sent me over this pic today of their new basketball court they have on the Capital One Campus. Check out the picture in the background. The entire wall is of Lamar during the UConn game.

CORRECTION: This was from the Capital One building in McLean... thus making the picture a little more relevant.

The Junkies were discussing bits they could do to honor the collapse of the local pro football team. During their brainstorm they mentioned how they've already done the "burn in effigy" bit when they did it to Billy Packer for his mocking of our at-large bid in 2006. Lurch: "boy, that was a long time ago". Yes it was

Whoa- anyone realize we have someone on our staff named Handy Handerahan? That’s 3 Han’s in one name. Gotta be some kind of a record.

Unfortunately Handy is his nick name so I'm not sure if he would qualify for the world record but I'll check with the boys over at Guiness. His real name is Robert Handerahan but I've never heard anyone call him any variation of Robert.

He's been there for over 20 years. Strength Coach. He's about 5-5 tall
Cool guy and good at what he does.

Cool to see Barcroft do a feature on our cheerleader with DS. Makes us proud to be a Patriot.

Heard Darrel Green on 980AM this morning with Al Galdi. His segment was basically a GMU infomercial w/ some Skins talk sprinkled in.

This is absolutely awesome. I had seen her out there at one of the games but didn’t realize she was a full time member. This makes me proud of Mason!

Imagine, a Wofford in Minneapolis. Holy George Mason. So in the national interest, here’s a scouting report, culled from watching the Terriers thrice in the Southern Conference tournament, Saturday through Monday, when they won the title, snared the automatic bracket bid, reached 29-4, and remained unbeaten against nine fellow members of a “mid-major” league with four teams that qualify as pure hell (including Wofford).
