GMU goes WILD! (56k)

[ghetto waggon]

4:30pm sunday afternoon marked the start of insanity up at the George Mason University Fairfax campus.

Did press coverage for the team's return home to the patriot center filled with nearly 10,000 crazed fans.

Figured I'd post up some shots you might not get to see elsewhere.

Enjoy!

Pretty neat Joe...I was there too. Which photog were you? The guy hand holding the flash with omni-bounce? It looks like it from your pics.

Anyway, some of mine using Canon S50 point & shoot.

Heavily cropped because my zoom = craptacular.

Most likely was me. Was in jeans and a sweater, had my outdoors backpack

Do you work freelance or for a specific media outlet?

Was this some sort of sporting event?

Was this some sort of sporting event?

yea. George Mason only beat UCONN for a trip to final four and a chance to win the national championship.

Haha...I get it, I get jokes.

Eric, I can pick you up a t-shirt if you want to show some support for Mason...

When did you move to GA ?

Nature photography is my thing, but I was doing some work for the public relations people at school. I had courtside passes setup to shoot the games, but the asswhores revoked them and gave them to broadside people.

Thanks, but nah. I'm not a sports fan.

I just don't get all emotionally tied up in something I have no actual involvment in. For me to give a rats ass about a sport, I have to be playing it.

We moved to GA last summer. My wife is going to UGA for law school.

Just picked up 5 GMU Final Four from the Bookstore.

BTW, I called it on St. Patricks Day when channel 9 news was at Buffalo Wings University when the patriots were about to beat Michigan State. Thats me with my Mick hat in the background.
