Two years ago, George Mason University made its name as the longshot of all longshots, the Cinderella of all Cinderellas, when it came from nowhere to land in the Final Four of the NCAA basketball tournament. During that unparalleled run for a "mid-major" team, GMU beat, among others, a UConn team in the round of 8 that boasted four first-round picks in the NBA draft a few months later.
No such magic for the GMU Patriots this year, as they fall to Notre Dame 68-50 in the opening round. But the Little School That Could continues to impress: early in the game, the CBS cameras focused on a fan holding a hand-lettered sign. It was the best sign I've ever seen at the tournament (and I've watched a lot of games). It said:
"George Mason is This Year's George Mason"
The legend lives on.
