The following conversation was held this evening with Robert Droppa III, Temple Christian High School graduate, Class of 1996 and more importantly George Mason University graduate, Class of 2001
Me: Rob, Are you kidding me? Your team is in the Final Four. Are you excited? That's ridiculous.
Rob: Yeah, I'm excited. But uh, I've bet against George Mason every round. I'm down $200.
Me: Still though, they're in the Final Four, you've gotta be psyched. That's amazing!
Rob: I am. I am…. …I just WISH I HAD MY $200 BACK!
Ahhhh Bible Temple. You are known by your fruit.
I love the Patriots. Their win secured my pool for me.
George Mason screwed my money pool up for me. Now I need UCLA to win out and FLorida to beat GW. Otherwise I’m out of the money. Blast!
As for our little situation, I couldn’t be more pleased. Unless I’d entered multiple brackets, like some. I believe I’ll have the full-stack of hotcakes with a large glass of OJ.
dang money grubbin’ greed monkeys!
it’s about the “sport” right?
who am I kidding.
UCLA all the way!!!
i just like that cuz it ryhmes.
Didn’t some smart guy pick UCLA to win before this tournament? I wonder who he was…….
I’d just like to say that I’m pleased to know I’m not the only George Mason Patriot alumni here in Stumptown. It’s a miracle. Thus, there must be a god!
And their NCAA run provides a rare opportunity to proudly claim I am a patriot. And let me add that my hands are clean of the fowl and bitter and sinful and regressive act of gambling. I tarnish not the Patriot name. Rob, ye of little faith. Come back to the flock before it’s too late. You too Chris, and it’s GMU, not GW (perhaps that is Freudian slip, wishing someone to beat George W (you know, the president?)
Where’s the alumni party?
