Re: George Mason = Straight outa the hood

Yeah my bad guys, I was just a bit frustrated with the OP. You guys have been really cool. Sorry about that. Like I said, I just was hoping you didnt take anything away from the win by saying their thugs. lol if you guys think that about our guys, you should see VCU guys ! Sorry guys

Re: George Mason = Straight outa the hood

First, a heck of a lot of credit to Coach Jacobson. That was the best anyone has defended Cam Long all season. And I don't know how you kept us from running more of our offense through the post (could have simply been that we didn't try to...? I doubt that), but UNI's defense definitely exceeded my expectations tonight. And you guys were hitting your shots.... doggone man. I didn't think we had a chance.

Second, you're misreading our players. For one thing, CAA basketball is physical and grinding. In my experience, MVC basketball isn't. Your league has a very different style, but that doesn't make ours inherently dirty. There's also a big difference between being happy about your basketball family succeeding and enjoying the game and being classless about it. Our guys like to clown around and enjoy the game. If opposing fans taunt them, they will respond. They laugh it off. You guys should too. (If you want thugs, check the VCU roster)

You guys played a hell of a game, and you should be proud of that. No one has played us that even in a long time. Maybe we'll see you again in March. Until then, we're all UNI fans.

Re: George Mason = Straight outa the hood

I can't get over how classy these GM fans are compared to other east coast fan bases. Even when we start *****ing about their players / officials / etc...

Thank you GM fans for renewing my faith in good fan bases east of the Mississippi!

Re: George Mason = Straight outa the hood

Thanks man. We like to seperate ourselves from the fanbases like ODU and VCUs lol. You guys have been real cool as well.

Re: George Mason = Straight outa the hood

It was an exciting game. Both teams put on a great show for the nation to see. I thought the players from both teams were class acts. They both hustled and put out a great effort on the court. Did anyone else notice Koch and Mike Morrison sharing a laugh in the first half? That was cool to see. Good to know that two teams that want to win so badly can still share a laugh. It shows that they respect each other. I know that I gained respect for George Mason tonight.

Re: George Mason = Straight outa the hood

I saw that, and thought it was cool. That never happens in CAA conference play lol. Your team seems like a bunch of good guys and your whole program reflects a classy feel. I think you guys should make plenty of noise in your conference tourney, well be pulling for you!

You referred to our crowd as "classless." That is simply garbage. The other GM fans have been outstanding, though.

For which he apologized

Lets all just say that it was a super exciting, hard fought game, and move on to rooting for each other until we play in a year.

True, but I can't imagine him posting it if he didn't really think it; I'm not into giving credit for getting caught.

It was a great game.

Well, I must admit, if he's guilty, than so am I. Booing our injured player really rubbed me the wrong way.

That said, I understand (as I said) that every fanbase has knuckleheads, and you can't hold the whole fanbase responsible for the actions of a few.

Re: George Mason = Straight outa the hood

I didn't see anything that really would make me call them thugs, they got away with a lot of stuff that should have been called, and the acted like drama queens when something got called especially 24, but I really didn't see anything that upset me like SFA in football this year.

Just for clarification, you, too, think our "whole crowd" is classless?

Re: George Mason = Straight outa the hood

I wasnt caught, I did and still think it was classless to boo Cornelious when he was hurt and came out of the game. Lots of boos going on there. It was in the heat of things so it is whatever, I get it. Dont shoot me for having an opinion and dont take things so literally. Pearson (#24) is very animated, and has been.

Just out of curiosity, how would you describe MVC basketball then?

I certainly won't shoot you, but I'm not sure why anyone would label our "whole crowd" as classless. I mean over-generalization is a wonderful tool/coping mechanism for some, but I guess I don't get the need.
