Love this pic of vcu superfan Pav holding his daughter who's holding a @gmugreenmachine Doc Nix doll. What does he do if she goes to Mason?

I am sure Pav is like most dads; he would be proud if his child were to graduate from a better university then he did.

There were a couple of Aretha Franklin covers at the UMass game. Loved 'em! Was this the same singer who did them in past years? Or did she graduate and was back in town for the holidays? I must say I enjoyed the singing on these than I have on the other singers that people on the board have been complaining about.

Not the same one as years past (and a cameo or two this year), but this singer has some pipes. Well done!

They only play the fight song 7 times/game?

 

[GSII]

Seriously, please stop playing the fight song 7 times during the games.

Actually the fight song leading into "Superstition" is their best arrangement from my perspective and I can't hear enough of it!

By the way, are there no longer any thoughts of putting together a recording of the Green Machine in some format or other?

Probably wound up being too expensive to secure the rights to all those songs. The recording industry can be a bear with their demands.

I did record a few @DocNix12 & @gmugreenmachine tunes via phone before the game. During the offseason I need my fix. Thanks all for the fun!

At the risk of losing my "man card," that rendition of Titanic last night was awesome.
