I think it be awesome if each senior gets a professional grade highlight tape. Great for the fans and it be a great gift for a player to share with their family for a life time.

Another Binghamton U 'they have it, why can't we'- all of their home games are on ESPN3. I'm guessing that was an America East deal, not the school's deal, but I'm curious what the priority would be to Mason and the A10- spread some games across CBSSN,MASN, CSN, NBCSN, ESPN family with other games having no coverage, or go all-in with ESPN with some games across their family of channels and the rest guaranteed on ESPN3.

My guess is the AE's deal with ESPN is one regular season game and their tourney title game on an ESPN channel and all other home games streamed on ESPN3.
 
I remember we had an Election Day 1996 party at my place, and the girl I wanted to hook up with left. So I ended up hooking up with this ridiculously fat girl who had hair all over her arms and amazingly small breasts, especially for a fat girl.
Man, I could barely look at her the next day without wanting to throw up. And the worst part is she told everyone in Presidents Park what a bad lay I was, which meant I had to date girls my own age for a while.
I'll bet Brad Edwards has some stories like that from way back! Lots of fat chick conquest stories I bet! Brad, if you're reading these boards feel free to take a fake user name and share!

So I'm totally not him, but if you want stories, I got stories my man. Like that one time I banged two skanks at the same time in the bathroom of Ruby Tuesday's in downtown Philly. Ended up pissing yogurt for a week after that. Good times, good times.

I have mentioned this probably 3 times on this board, but is there a "small donation" reachout program?

If not, WHY? I know you guys are involved with giving to Mason, but why on earth is there not a small scale IPTAY program at Mason? What has to happen for me to have a place where I can have 10 or 20 bucks a month deducted from my bank account to go toward Mason athletics, and get a freaking bumper sticker and an email every now and then with updates?

IT"S REALLY NOT THAT FREAKING HARD TO DO, so why isn't it being done? Just call it Mason Nation or some such nonsense, and make it happen.

Can one of you guys PLEASE get the appropriate office to spend 1 man-day of work setting it up, and then blast emails to everybody on the list?

EVERYBODY can spare a little, so why not ask for a little?

It does if you specify for the Patriot Club. Although I think it allows you to be more specific and have it go straight to basketball.
Well hot damn! Done and done!

And, actually, turns out it's much easier to find through the Go Mason site.

I STILL thing that they ought to market a "small giving" campaign, for people who don't have thousands, or even hundreds to throw around at any given time, but who do want to throw a couple of bucks toward the program.

If I were to select "other" and then write in the box that I want my monthly donation to go towards the practice facility, what are the odds that it actually will?

And yeah, they need to really try to push for an IPTAY system. I have no idea how many alumni Mason has but if even 25% of them paid $1 a month I'm sure we'd be funding some pretty nice facilities a lot quicker than we are now. Sadly, I think it may take some success before we get people willing to pay into a system like that. I'm sure alumni wouldn't mind paying ten a year if they knew their basketball team would be relevant in March every year.

Anyone with a full-time job should be able to kick in $5 a month...that's one less Venti Caramel Macchiato a month from Starbucks that could be going to the basketball team instead of your waistline.

Of course they can but will they? The department would have to be aggressive to get people to sign up. Why would people who graduated last year who sat through three garbage season of Hewitt and a rebuild year feel inclined to donate? Not every student enjoys Mason athletics and I would assume that they feel $5 to a program they don't see as being successful is $5 down the drain. Now if they were shown concrete plans as to what that money was going towards they may be more inclined. Or if they school came up with some incentive like "donate 5 a month and every year you can choose 1 game where you get premium seats." or something to that effect.

I think the school needs to try to (long term) turn the games into more of a social event that helps bring in students and create good memories even if the team has fallen on hard times.
