Tom Tancredo coming to GMU this evening!

Found out about this thanks to BVBL.

Tom Tancredo is being hosted by the Mason chapter of YAF at the Johnson Center tonight at 7:00, Meeting Room E. I will be there to show my support, hear what he has to say about patriotism and assimilation, and show my Patriot pride. Rep. Tancredo has been an absolute hero on immigration issues. He founded the House Immigration Reform Caucus, and played a huge role in stopping John McCain and George W. Bush's collaboration with the left in 2006 and again in 2007 to ram through amnesty bills. I have met the man twice and both times he was extremely personable, very unlike the rhetoric you hear about him from the left. I would encourage all of you to come out and attend.

I have also heard that our "friends" at certain racial student groups and leftist organizations are going to try and disrupt the event. So let's get a ridiculous turnout and show them they have no chance, not now, not ever. I will make it a point to... express my appreciation to these moonbats and race-baiting charlatans should they put in an appearance.

See you all there.

Afterward, I'm going to either the Damon's in SUB 1 or Brion's to catch the end of GMU finally notching a win down at Trask.

Mason beats Tulane, but...

doesn't look good doing it. Goff has it here and concurs. Tulane, despite their pedigree, is not very good, particularly on offense. I felt bad for that Puckett kid, the crowd at the Patriot Center was all over him. The Patriots should have blown that team out, but instead scraped by with their worst performance of the season.

If they play like that against the Dayton Flyers, mark it down, they will get HAMMERED. On the plus side, we now get some support in the AP Poll, via Kish at George Mason Basketball.

Mason hoops, VT football victorious; Caps get shut out

GMU handled the Ohio Bobcats yesterday. If they'd shot better, it could have been a 30 point win. Next up: Liberty, who look like they might be a handful this year.

Virginia Tech beat UVa 17-14. Now on to Jacksonville, and for the second straight year, a rematch with the Boston College Eagles. Let's go... HOKIES! Get those Yankees again this year.

Sadly, the Washington Capitals got blanked by the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets 3-0 on the road. Come on, Caps.... You have to start doing better away from home if you want to win in the playoffs.

Mason moves to 4-1...

by beating the Mount 72-60. And it could have been worse if the outside shooting were better. I am really pleased with Monroe. Very mature, composed, tough on post defense, everything you could ask of him.The year off looks like it's done him some good. Dre and JV still need to step up a bit more if this is going to be an NCAA season.

Nevertheless, the team looks good. Good, not great, but it's early.

GMU 3-1 after a road win over East Carolina.

Now let's beat Mt. St. Mary's tonight and make a statement. The Hampton loss is forgivable this early, given how badly the guards shot. But note to Dre Smith and John Vaughn: This is YOUR team, at least early on. Own it.

Props to Darryl Monroe, back and better than ever.

Back after a hiatus...

Yes, I know it's been quite some time. Much has changed. To state the obvious, almost every palatable Presidential candidate is out. My friends, associates and readers all know I share RWL's complete distaste for Huckabee. I simply don't buy Mitt Romney, even for a second. He's only become conservative since he started running for President. He is an elitist county club RINO who thinks he can sell us on his new persona. He is wrong. John McCain is John McCain. Enough said.

That leaves Ron Paul. Yes, I realize his great yawning weakness on foreign policy and the war. But he stands foursquare against the neoconservatives and the DCs, and opposes just about every unconstitutional federal expenditure or powergrab I can think of offhand. Domestically, he is what our founders had in mind. For now, Ron Paul for President. I plan to support him on the 12th. I encourage all of you to do the same. If he is out, and given his performance today, that's possible, I may cross over and vote in the Dem primary for Barack Obama to stop Hillary Clinton. I disagree with the extremely liberal Obama on nearly everything, but he's a good man trying to do good for America. The same cannot be said of the Clintons. Their campaign must be stopped.

In other news, Mason got the key win over VCU to compensate for the loss at UNCW. We've drawn Ohio as our BracketBuster opponent as a reward. Winning in Athens will be extremely difficult, but I think this team can do it. Realistically, we cannot afford another regular season loss, and need to make it at least to the semifinals in Richmond if we want at-large consideration. Focus, gentlemen. Focus. Do that, and we will dance.

And now DELAWARE???

Blowing another big second half lead on the road is inexcusable. This team has regressed big time since the Old Spice Classic... I'm worried about the complete inability to win a significant road game. Jordan Carter, never one of my favorites, looked terrible. I think it's time to look at Cam Long as the point man, or least split those duties between he and Folarin Campbell. I think we can lose again in conference, maybe 1 or 2, and certainly not at home, and still hope for a decent seed or at-large slot.

Georgia State and Iowa...

First tings first... That loss to Georgia State today was UGLY.. big time. Choking away a 13 point halftime lead against a bad team, even on the road, is just unacceptable. Between that adn the ECU loss, we took all our juice and poured it right out. We can afford perhaps 2 more losses in conference, and need to smoke our BracketBuster opponent just to have a viable at-large shot.

Secondly... everyone who supports Duncan Hunter needs to do everything they can to help him show well in Iowa. Those administration-worshippers at Fox News are in the tank for Giuliani, so they've excluded Congressmen Hunter and Paul from the forum with Chris Wallace on Sunday up in New Hampshire. Disgraceful. Prove them wrong by contacting the Hunter campaign and asking what you can do to help.

Beat Hampton!

I'll be watching at Bennigan's over at Seven Corners. Let's just hope that terrible performance against ECU on Sunday was a wake-up call. I think this team got to reading their own press clippings and failed to bring it, something you rarely see out of a Larranaga-coached team. GMU should have crushed those Pirates by 35. Now let's take it out on another crew of Pirates tonight.
