George Mason vs Northern Iowa Bracketbuster Drinking Game

George Mason-UNI Preview here

Here is a post I just could not resist, especially with the attempted spectacle ESPN tries to put up with the whole Bracketbuster Weekend promotion.  With all the seriousness of the news coverage surrounding the team lately I thought it was time to have some fun. Even if your not a drinker check to see how many of these you witness tomorrow night.

Take a sip of beer or your drink of choice if any of the following happens:

• The word "Cinderella" is used by the announcers or any ESPN commentators

• ESPN shows footage of George Mason's Final Four run of 2006

• They show either Lamar Butler's SI cover or this SI cover of Ali Farokhmanesh from last year

• The announcers mention that no one on this year's George Mason team is from that 2006 team

• ESPN shows footage of Tony Skinn's game-winning three-pointer against Wichita State int he 2006 Bracketbuster game

• The announcers try to make it seem as if this game is as important to George Mason as that Wichita State game was in 2006

• The announcers pretend Northern Iowa still has a chance to win the MVC or get an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament

• The announcers refer to the CAA as the "Patriot League"

• The announcers compare George Mason to last season's Butler team

• If you can hear Coach L's trademark whistle during the broadcast

• If your able to see Coach L clapping ecstatically after a George Mason player turns over the ball or has a bone-headed play

• Cam Long and Kwadzo Ahelegbe are featured in the pregame "Star Watch" segment

Finish your beer or drink if any of these happen:

• One of the announcers describes Luke Hancock as "deceptively athletic", "having sneaky athleticism","being crafty", "being cagey", "scrappy", or "elusive"

• The cameras pan to the student section during this

• The announcers mention that the George Mason players aren't cutting their hair during the winning streak

• Anyone says "George Mason could be this year's George Mason"

Shotgun a beer:

• You see Gunston in any of the 2006 Final Four footage shown
