[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Leotards keep my legs warm in the winter. Or are they just called legwarmers? Whatever, I'm not gay I'm just from Wisconsin.

Still, I think the visitors take this one. When has this program ever done anything for charity? God hates us now that we have placed false deities over him.

Lafayette 69, George Mason 64

Us - 75
Them - 58
OT

Their school is named after a Frenchman. Come on.

American Named School (Mason) --- 78
French Loser School ---- 72

Game ends early because frenchy players reflexively waive white flag in the 10th minute of the second half.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

They were berets in pregame warmups.

Strong post sir -- strong post.

Well.. our front court is going to be tested right off the bat.

Experience and a big man up front who can score.

Better not take these guys lightly or it'll be Loyola part 2.

But don't the French always surrender?

I’m more interested in the Marquise Moore bobblehead they are giving out. The game is secondary.

 

[psyclone]

Sagarin, which has us ranked #139 nationally, has us as a 15.8 pt favorite over Lafayette

 

[psyclone]

Kenpom has us by 10 pts.

Is the bobblehead exclusive to season ticket holders?

 

[JimP]

I'm sure Paulsen will have the team ready to go. Given GMU's track record in season openers the last few years - I hope so. Should be a win - Lafayette did beat Loyola last year though. Plan on being there - hope the crowd is at least 5,000.

Have absolutely no idea about that sorry

Have absolutely no idea about that sorry

No prob - I'm guessing it might be.

Last year they said it was season ticket holders only for the jersey giveaway but then passed them out to everyone. So who knows.
