At some point late in the second half of yesterday’s game, I remember saying that if GMU beat UConn then surely Jesus would be returning. Little did I know that GMU would actually manage to beat the #1 seed and the team most expected to win the whole tournament. And no, Jesus did not return, so this win must be part of God’s plan for today.

Amazing game and very fun for those of us who live mere minutes from the campus.

Our pastor joked that the Fairfax City website on Friday noted the local Bingo game that night at 7:30pm. Apparently, getting to the Sweet 16 didn’t merit mention. It’s nice to see a link at the top of the page for the Final Four this time.

It was at about 7:30 or 8pm that we heard booms outside. It was fireworks over the campus, I’m thinking it was to signify the arrival of the team back home from their long trek to Washington, DC (about 25 miles away).

We plan to watch the game on Saturday, of course. Anyone know what time they play? I may have to schedule a long nap on that day.
