The Mason Bench is one of the best fan blogs on the web and is definitely better than this one.
I didnāt say it wasnāt a nice siteā¦
Here is another Mason blogā¦ http://midmajorbasketball.com/content/charleston-classic-outlook
[QUOTE]In the third annual Charleston Classic tournament, there is a good mix of mid major teams; 5 out of
the 8 teams in the tournament. We have UNC-Charlotte from the Atlantic 10, Coastal Carolina from the Big South, George Mason from the Colonial, USC-Upstate from the Atlantic Sun, and Wofford from
the Southern Conference. Throw in East Carolina from Conference USA, NC State from the ACC, and Georgetown from the Big East, and you have a very solid tournament. Below is how I rank the mid majors in the tournament and how I think they will fair in their matchups.[/quote]
HAHAā¦ So Charlotte is Mid Major but EZU is not??
Wow, both of those are pathetic.
losing to Gardner Webb doesnt help perception- even missing players
Sure doesnāt. Especially at home. There are some teams you lose to and no excuse matters in a court of public appeal. Unless, of course, we do something with the rest of the season. We know what hamstrung us that game, we just need to not have to make anymore excuses the rest of the season.
I just donāt buy that GM/Char is the 2nd worst team in the tournament.
Iāll give you Wofford since they almost beat Wisconsin? in the tournament last year, but Coastal? No.
GTG.net doesnāt tell me why I should buy yāall a beer. :))
Why donāt we ever go to Italy or someplace cool? The one year we had a pre-season was 2 years ago, in Canada. Boring.
A10 is not mid majorā¦just an fyi

Donate more $. If youāre too cheap to buy me a beer, youāre too cheap for the team to go to Italy.
It was a joke.
And I didnāt say I would NOT buy you a beer, I said to give me a reason. (And your attitude just put you behind the other GTG people.) :))
[size=7]FREE BEER!!! Stonecoldās buying!![/size]
Sorry guys, not being controversial or sarcastic, but we are not a mid major, but we are a ?
Non bcs football playing major ? Like St Johns, Marquette, Xavierā¦ outside some of the catholic schools whom else is like us ?
I think weāve very much fallen back to mid-major status. We havenāt made the tournament in 5 years and we havenāt made it past the first round in the tournament in 9! Weāve only made it past the first round a few times and only made it past the first weekend once.
As much as Iād love to not think of us as a mid major, thatās what we are. I feel we have greater potential than most mid-majors to make the jump, but weāre not there yet.
NN, I think that puts us squarely in the mid category.
The more I think about the major/mid-major/whatever debate, the more I thinkā¦
ā¦who the hell cares?

ESPN the Magās college basketball preview has polls of players in the 6 āpowerā conferences and then has a mid major section. There are like 5 mid-major teams listed aboveā¦Xavier.
The so-called āPower Conferencesā are the ones that have pushed the term āmid-majorā, as well as the inaccurate concept that all āNon Power Conferenceā schools are mid-major. The term mid-major is not that old.
The only thing I care anyone calls the Niners is āWinnerā -> Just win.
