Burn Your Boat!

[GMUSig03]

I eat crow, and you still have to insult. But none the less your assessment is on point. Rhode Island, Umass, and vcu will be tough games. I would also add St. Bonaventure into the mix. They look amazing at times to. But my point was none of them down right scare me and I automatically think Mason will lose. I think Mason has a shot every night.

Again I'm not saying we are going to run away with the league. Im not that naive to think we will win every game. In the beginning of the season I was ready to write this team off as a bottom feeder, and now I'm just excited to watch every game. I know we will lose some, but before the game starts I think Mason has a fighters punch chance to win.

And yes the teams you mentioned are solid teams, but I wouldn't call them dominate and they will have a couple off nights, amd hopefully we experience some of those off nights.

I will admit I was over reacting in the beginning of the season, and now I think I came back to reality. but it doesn't matter how fair of an assessment I make you will troll and find fault in my post.

Props to DJ3 for eating crow, need more of that on here

I'm a little concerned about GSII's overall well-being during our 8-game winning streak. Ou resident Grinch must be going through some serious withdrawal with nothing to complain about.

Expect a heavy dose of crowd size, gameday atmosphere, and lack of infrastructure spending by the AD from the doom and gloom crowd.

Oh, and complaining that the Green Machine keeps playing the same songs every game. I love that one.

Haa Tom, you havent been watching my posts. I do regret jumping the gun after the MSM loss. You gotta admit, who wouldnt be crazy after knowing only the Larranga era followed by The Virus era. Those who lived the Nestor and Westhead days could deal with the downfall better it seems.

Very happy with our soon to be 9 game win streak. Its like old times again. Also, Its nice to see a coach who can adapt and make changes on defense. Program finally has a professor at the helm!

Many have asked about our "Burn Your Boats" slogan which is a guiding vision of our program. Here it is.

I personally love boats and am totally against the idea of burning my boat (unless it's for the insurance money)

Just a couple years ago, I was ready to put our coach out to sea inside a burning boat.

Crazy how quickly things have turned around.

Not only is Paulsen connecting with a fanbase who is very active on twitter, but hes helping instill a culture within the program by sharing different philosophies/stories.

Love it.

Cool story except for it being about the beginning of the Muslim occupation of Spain.

Hey, it was a big historical event that still leaves traces in Spanish language, architecture, and society. There were bound to be a few stories to come out of it.

Without which there would be no Flemenco, which would be a sad loss to the world.

If comments like these are what a George Mason Basketball message board has come down to...then that's just a shame

We try to keep our political messages in the Politics thread. Spain wouldn't be the Spain we know without the 700 years of Moorish rule.

I am going to reply to undertherock on the Politics thread.

I think it's about Alexander the Great.

I honestly think we can make the 2017 NCAA Tournament.

So you're saying we are going to win the A-10 tournament? Because that's the only way we are given our non-conference SOS.
