Game 4: GMU (2-1) vs VMI (5-3) on Monday, December 21, at 1PM.

[Jack Strop]

The average age in the pat dome for these first five games is going to be like 78, including the children and players.

If you attend the game then look for me, I'll be the one cheering.

Senior citizens are high risk so I’d be surprised if they go, unless they are deniers.

Wont be able to make the VMI game but should be at the rest though.

Or they like to make their own risk/reward calculations and want to live their lives the way they see fit.

Correct. That too.

I mean, ever try to take the f**king keys away from an 85 year old?

They'll tell you to f**k off with un-PC language that'll make a millennial's head explode.

VMI loses to formerly 0-3 Gardner-Webb... was impressed with their big man Stephens... He also went 10-11 from the line. More than half of their shots came from 3 point range. We should kick their a** with such a talent difference but who knows what the game plan is after such a layoff

 

[Pablo]

Gardner-Webb (1-3) 88 - VMI (5-3) 77

VMI's center Jake Stephens had 26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, & 2 blocked shots.

VMI is coached by former Penn State player and assistant Dan Earl.

Was the Green Machine playing?

No and my understanding is they won't be playing at Women's nor Men's games this season.

Thanks. Sorry to hear that one of best parts of attending games will not be there. There's always next year. Still glad that I gave them money.

Probably the best ROI for any money donated the past few years.

 

[gmubrian]

So, is this the closest we have gotten to a game happening without being canceled since the program went on pause?

Historically Paulsen coached Mason teams have not matched up well against good shooting teams, so be prepared for some walk on VMI hills have eyes lookin kid to drop a career high on us with 8-13 shooting.

I did not witness it myself, but I've been told 2 of the members of the women's team did not come out for The National Anthem. They did come out for the song played after The National Anthem. I will be watching Monday night. I won't be at the men's game, but I'd appreciate any updates on if any members of the men's team do something similar. If I witness any women doing what I've been told they're doing then I'm done. I can't be a fan or provide any financial support for that team. They have every right to do what they want, but I also have the right to decide who I support.

Their right to kneel or stay in locker room. Your right not to donate if you don’t agree. Don’t see anything wrong with either. Free country amiright? If you’re a big enough donor maybe you should tell them your concerns and that you will pull your donation and maybe a change in your favor will occur.

 

[gmubrian]

If you’re a big enough donor...

He is too modest to tell you, but, he is.

Well then he should certainly make a phone call.
